Hawthorn for $500k. Two bedrooms.
The Melbourne property market appears to have briefly lost its mind in your favour.
And the best bit? It's arguably the pick of the entire block.
Ground floor, right at the front, windows on three sides and north-facing bedrooms.
Your own little street-facing home, without the stairs, lawnmower or $1.8m price tag.
The original timber floors have just been polished, the proportions are properly 1960s and your car space is practically outside your front door.
Street parking permit too.
The kitchen and bathroom aren't winning any design awards, but they're perfectly happy to keep doing their jobs until you decide otherwise.
Location is doing some fairly heavy lifting.
Hawthorn Station, Glenferrie Road, Burwood Road, St James Park and the Yarra trails are all within walking distance.
Richmond's bars aren't far either, should you still be making decisions after 11pm.
And for our Sydney and Brisbane friends who've discovered Melbourne property prices and started behaving strangely:
Around $580/week in potential rent. That's approximately 6% gross yield on $500k.
Not bad for a two-bedroom Hawthorn apartment.
