9 Cobden Street, Taylor ACT 2913

3 bed | 3 bath | 165m² internal | 250m² land | RZ1 zone | strong school proximity This house offers a rare configuration for its land size, with three bathrooms and a balcony on a compact 250m² block, making it functionally denser than most RZ1 stock in Taylor. The 165m² internal area is generous for the footprint, and the property suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance living with genuine separation of spaces — ideal for a small family or professional couple prioritising location over land. Being in a 100% owner-occupied street historically, the neighbourhood character is stable, and the proximity to both primary and secondary catchment schools within 1.3km adds practical daily value. The main risk is the land-to-building ratio: a 250m² lot with a 165m² house leaves minimal outdoor room, limiting future extension potential and possibly resale appeal for buyers wanting a garden. The single garage is tight for a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. However, the opportunity lies in the rental yield at 4.43% and the absence of flood or bushfire risk, which strengthens its position as a reliable hold. The mid-valuation at $580,000 sits below Taylor’s median of $720,000, suggesting this property may offer entry into the suburb at a discount relative to typical stock — worth verifying against the competing $970,000 estimate.
