9/175-183 Trafalgar Street, Stanmore NSW 2048

North-facing city views | 68m² internal on 89m² strata | 2-bed in 18-unit block | 50% owner-occupied | Auction guide below recent $1.1m comp. This unit’s north orientation with city views is rare in a small block, giving it a positional edge over most comparables. The 68m² internal floorplan is generous for a two-bedroom apartment, and the 89m² total strata area adds functional space. With 50% owner-occupancy and a recent comparable sale at $1.1m, the $1m guide price creates a clear buying opportunity for owner-occupiers or investors seeking a solid long-term hold in a well-located, low-density building near Stanmore station and schools. The primary risk is the building’s high turnover,77% of owners have held for under six years,which can signal transient tenant use or maintenance fatigue, though the 50% owner-occupied split tempers this. The 18-year gap since last sale means no recent renovation cost base, so budget for updates. For an investor, the lack of rental listing suggests the vendor is motivated to sell, not hold. For an owner-occupier, the north-facing layout and city views are durable advantages. Hold this property for at least five years to amortise transaction costs and capture the area’s steady demand from schools and transport.
