In a quiet street, right next to a park, handy to Westfield, trains, trams, buses, theme parks and the M1, is this awesome two-bedroom duplex with a renovated kitchen and bathroom, great patio and backyard, and no body-corporate costs. With a fun vibe, the property is also extremely private. Another bonus is the oversized garage, plus gated side access for extra parking.

So, in terms of privacy, parking, and avoiding bossy onsite managers, dreaded body corporate committees and avoiding ongoing body-corporate costs, this is much better than in a unit in a complex. Also, because you also own 331m2 of your very own land, you have a stronger asset whereas buildings depreciate, land tends to appreciate. In other words, this property makes you a winner. Note: a 350m2 VACANT block in nearby Helensvale recently sold for $354,900 (47 Emerald Drive).
