This is pure and simple great value buying. It is not amazing to look at, but it sure is an amazing opportunity. Built in the early 70s, where everything was groovy it's a duplex half with enough space to live your life comfortably. But the most comfortable thing will likely be your budget, because this is affordable.
The video shows a whole lot more detail and tells a bit more of the story. So rather than call only for me to ask if you've seen the video that has all the information… Check that out for more information.
SEEMS CHEAP MATE, WHAT'S THE STORY?
Now, let's get down to the facts. It's priced from $419,000 for a reason. It's not glamorous, nor is it particularly large. The evidence of the 1970s build is still everywhere because it's had very few updates since that time.
It's priced FROM $419,000 because that's the minimum offer that we are presenting to the seller. We will be presenting multiple offers and the seller will work with the best offer that comes through. We're not expecting it to sell for $419,000, but we needed a starting point that was going to starting point, a line in the sand etc.
So, in answer to the question of what's the seller really looking for, the answer is the seller's looking for the best offer over $419,000. How much will that be? We don't know yet! We will know after we conduct the inspections, and after you've had a chance to have a look, have a think, and submit your offer.
THE HOME
We have one open plan living and kitchen area. We have two bedrooms that are both of a decent size. We have one bathroom that is pretty original. Actually, when I say pretty original, it's not pretty. It's just original. The laundry is a decent size and allows plenty of options if you decide to expand the kitchen (you will see what I mean when you come and visit it in person, but likely cabinetry that integrates some kitchen functionality with the laundry would be a good idea) There's also an enclosed patio that's been here since the dawn of time, and it's pretty decent, considering its age. Is it council approved? In the 70s there was a bit of free lovin' and hakuna-matatta-ing so it probably just went up. It's been there for 50 years so it is what it is. It might be on the records but we who knows.
Out the back, we've got a great shed and plenty of lawn and garden area. It's all actually pretty neat and tidy. We're selling on an as-is, where-is basis here, so what you see is what you get. And what you get is a comfortable home that is a fantastic starting point in this market.
HOW BIG IS THE BLOCK?
The home is a duplex pair. It's on the left-hand side of the two. And one of the key questions that I'm sure you'll be asking is, how much land is there? Well, between 1966 and 1985, the way that properties like this were built was under the Strata Titles Act of that period. That Act was predominantly written for apartments, where it showed your ownership to the surface of the external wall. In some cases, the halfway point between the inside wall and the outside wall and yada yada yada. They then also used the same act to build a duplex pair. So in theory, the property has 50% ownership of the entire lot size.
However, there are no defined external boundaries, and the boundaries shown on the title are that of the building. The fence has been here for a very, very, very, very, very long time, and it's always been treated that the fence runs in line with the centre of the duplex pair. So, whilst we cannot say a particular lot size because, in theory, all the yard space of this one and the one next door are common area, the yard space that has been fenced and considered as the backyard of this property appears to be around 911 square metres. You've got half of the 911sqm it sits on. The home is about 55sqm.
Virtually every duplex or strata title property built prior to 1985 is still under this arrangement, and that's just how things got done back then. Whilst it might seem a bit confusing, you can blame whoever was in charge of writing rules back in 1966. For all intents and purposes, though, both sides have always been treated as separate, and the owner of each side takes care of what's on their side of that fence.
AS-IS. WHERE-IS. IT IS WHAT IT IS.
We have a building inspection report that has been completed. You can download a copy of that for a look if you like. Just hit the EMAIL AGENT button and we'll send you detail about the property including the title and also the report. So far as we know most stuff is working, and the hot water system is near new. It's livable for sure! But, what you see is what you get here.
WHAT NEXT
No offers are being accepted prior to the inspection date shown online. To make an offer hit the EMAIL AGENT button and we'll send the link to you. We have two viewings planned and to confirm the time use the EMAIL AGENT button. It's likely the seller will make a decision after Wednesday 18/2/2026.
