3/17 Norton Street

Ballina NSW 2478

Inside, the space opens into a generous living and dining area with a warm north facing aspect that brings sunshine through most of the day. Fresh paint, near-new carpets, modern lighting, updated ceiling fans and ongoing upkeep mean the unit feels clean, airy and move-in ready. The kitchen and bathroom were refreshed in recent years and have been well maintained, with a combined bathroom and laundry making excellent use of space. Both bedrooms include built-in robes and enjoy good natural light, with the main capturing soft afternoon sun.

A sun-drenched balcony extends off the living area and looks out to quiet neighbourhood greenery, perfect for a morning coffee.

The parking setup is a standout. The unit comes with an oversized lock-up garage in a private four bay structure separate from the building, giving you room for a car plus significant storage. There’s also an additional off-street parking space directly in front of the garage.

The building itself has been exceptionally well cared for. Recent works include full repainting of all exterior trims, balustrades and timber elements, replacement of eaves and roof timbers, gutter repairs and professional brick pressure-cleaning. The strata is locally managed, proactive and responsive, with healthy funds in both the admin and capital works accounts. At roughly $1000 per quarter, fees remain reasonable given the quality of upkeep and small scale of the block.

The location is genuinely hard to beat. Everything is moments away:
- River foreshore, walkways and parkland (3 to 5 minute walk)
- Missingham Park’s major new upgrade with pump track, playground and foreshore access (2 to 3 minute walk via Holden Lane)
- Town centre, library, council pool and cafés (5 minute walk)
- Beaches and coastal paths (easy riding or walking distance)
- Shores Bay Hotel and revamped dining precinct (4 minute drive)

For investors, the unit is currently tenanted at 510 per week by an excellent long-term renter on a fixed lease until March 2026. The tenant has always been reliable and there is clear rental upside available. For first home buyers using the Help to Buy scheme, it’s an ideal entry point that offers lifestyle, low maintenance living and long term capital growth appeal. People looking to downsize will appreciate the calm environment, easy walkability and the simplicity of a small, well managed building.

This is a warm, bright and effortless home in one of Ballina’s most convenient coastal locations.
