Last Listing description (October 2024)

Conveniently situated opposite University of Melbourne and a short stroll to the tram for the CBD and RMIT, this spacious 1-bedroom plus study apartment offers a high-yield set-and-forget addition to an investment portfolio (offering 6.5% net yield approx.) or an attractive live-in opportunity for student owner-occupiers.

Generously sized at 54sqm with a large bedroom suitable for both dual or single occupancy, expect high yields compared to the smaller one-bedroom or studio apartments more commonly found in the building. The large apartment is highly liveable, coming fully furnished and having a full-sized kitchen with island bench, enclosed study, and large bathroom.

800 Swanston Street enjoys its Carlton location with shops, cafes, and a Woolworths just a stone's throw away on bustling Lygon Street. The building includes 24-hour on-site security and reception, gym, and communal study rooms and recreational spaces which foster a thriving student community.

With 100% occupancy in the building and property management by Unilodge, investors can expect turn-key convenience.

Currently leased for $2,138/pcm until end January 2025; expect hassle-free return on investment ready to take over and keep tenanted, or an ideal home for student owner-occupiers to enjoy from Semester 1 2025.
