89/212 Mona Vale Road, St Ives NSW 2075

Penthouse terrace | only one common wall | walk to village and express bus | rare privacy in a 1-bed The property’s competitive strength lies in its penthouse configuration and unusual privacy,only one shared wall, elevated ceilings, and a large alfresco terrace with established garden beds create a feel closer to a small house than a standard apartment. That terrace, combined with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a modern Caesar Stone kitchen, positions this unit as a genuine alternative for owner-occupiers who would otherwise consider a terrace house or villa. It suits a professional single or couple seeking low-maintenance living within walking distance of St Ives Village and the City Express bus, where the location delivers both lifestyle convenience and the suburb’s strong demand profile for well-located, quiet stock. The principal risk is the strata title within a 1.83-acre complex, which may carry higher levies or future special levies for common-area upkeep; buyers should request the strata records and sinking fund report before proceeding. The 2019 sale history and recent relisting suggest the seller may be motivated, offering a potential negotiation window if comparable sales in the complex are soft. No rental data is available, so investors should verify achievable rent with a local agent. For an owner-occupier, this unit holds its value through scarcity of design,hold as a primary residence and benefit from the suburb’s steady capital growth.
