Positioned in one of Darwin's most tightly held enclaves, this spacious townhouse at 1/7 Blake Street, The Gardens offers an enviable blend of privacy, lifestyle and blue-chip city fringe convenience. Set in a small complex in a quiet cul-de-sac, you are literally moments from the lush walking trails and lawns of the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens, yet only around 2km from the heart of the CBD.
Blake Street itself peels away from Gardens Hill Crescent, a leafy loop road that skirts the edge of the Gardens and links easily through to Gilruth Avenue, Gardens Road and onwards into the city.
This means main access is wonderfully simple: slip out of the driveway and you are minutes from the city, Mindil Beach, the casino, waterfront and major employment hubs, while still enjoying the tranquillity of an almost hidden residential pocket.
The home unfolds over two levels and delivers the proportions you would expect from a house rather than a typical inner-city unit. A generous open-plan living and dining area connects to a practical, well-appointed kitchen and a private outdoor space, ideal for relaxed entertaining, weekend barbecues or a quiet coffee surrounded by greenery. Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is equally inviting, with ample built-in storage, two bathrooms and good separation between the rooms, making it suitable for couples, sharers or a small family. Independent data sources indicate the property is configured as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse with secure parking.
Currently leased to a reliable tenant, the property is ready to keep working as a set-and-forget investment from day one, in a suburb where units have shown solid rental performance and low vacancy.
At the same time, it will also appeal strongly to owner-occupiers who recognise just how rare it is to secure a townhouse in this prestigious pocket. Subject to the lease terms, there is potential to move in at expiry or explore an earlier transition by agreement, allowing you to lock in your future home now.
Opportunities like this do not come along often. Inner-city townhouses on the Botanic Gardens side of The Gardens are tightly held, and when they do hit the market they are keenly sought by both locals and interstate buyers who understand the long-term value of land-backed property so close to everything Darwin has to offer
