What's around 3/79 Northbourne Avenue

Fully renovated 1 bedroom plus study on the doorstep to the City

Please note, if not sold prior, this property will be going to auction, on site, 2pm Tuesday 10th February 2026. The advertised price guide is there to help give buyers a bracket to work from and can be updated as the campaign progresses. Offers prior to auction, above the guide price and accompanied with a section 17, are welcomed. Be impressed by this stylish 1-bedroom plus study unit tucked away in the ever-popular suburb of Turner. Offering great value and everyday convenience, this hidden gem has been thoughtfully upgraded with a fully renovated kitchen and bathroom. It's an ideal option for first-home buyers, owner-occupiers wanting a flexible city base/crash pad, or investors seeking a low-maintenance, high-yield addition to their portfolio. Inside, the open-plan living area features solid timber floors, leafy outlooks across the complex and a modern kitchen with stone benchtops, quality appliances (including a built-in washing machine), excellent pantry space and storage. A handy study nook sits just outside the bedroom, complete with a window that lets in fresh air and natural light. The bathroom is neatly renovated with a shower–bath combo and smart storage options, while the generous bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed and includes mirrored built-in robes. An allocated car space is included, though with such a great location you may decide to rent it out for an extra income stream.

Absolutely Fantastic

My wife and I recently engaged Suburbia, led by principal Mark Larmer, to manage the sale of our one-bedroom inner-city unit. They were recommended by a friend who had successfully sold her unit in the same building through them. Mark responded quickly when we first contacted him. Within a few days he had inspected the property and presented a clear marketing proposal. He was easy to deal with and explained the sales and marketing process in a straightforward way, which gave us confidence that he and his team would manage the sale effectively. Throughout the campaign, Mark and the Suburbia team provided valuable and timely advice. This included preparing the unit for sale by fixing minor defects, replacing the bath sealant and completing touch-up painting, as well as decluttering by removing furniture and appliances. They also arranged professional styling to make the unit more appealing to buyers and developed a well-considered marketing strategy, including guidance on pricing. Communication was excellent. Suburbia set up a WhatsApp group chat so we could easily share documents, updates and questions with the team. As part of the marketing campaign, they produced an excellent walk-through video highlighting the unit’s features, arranged advertising on Zango and Allhomes, and provided guidance on engaging a conveyancer and coordinating the property styling. Mark kept us well informed throughout the process. After each inspection he reported on attendance, buyer interest and any negotiations underway. He also ensured we completed all required documentation and that everything was properly coordinated with the conveyancer. Settlement proceeded smoothly and we were very happy with the outcome. We were extremely pleased with Mark and the Suburbia team and would happily engage them again to manage the sale of future properties.
