11/298 Williams Road, Toorak

A lot of agents talk about lifestyle...but what does that actually mean? For some, it might mean an early start, and being able to take a morning walk around Como Park, through Como House and along the Yarra River. For others, it could be the convenience of walking up to Toorak Village in just six minutes, ensuring their morning coffee fix is always within reach. For me, living at the architecturally significant 298 Williams Road is probably an inconvenient lifestyle, because the chocolate frogs from Haighs would be far, far too close for comfort. Whether it is the Toorak Road Trams, Hawksburn Station or the Main Yarra Trail, the position of this apartment is undeniably offering an incredible lifestyle, but you need to make sure you get the right apartment.

It should have great natural light, and a western aspect is perfect (particularly if you have a leafy outlook to shade the direct afternoon sun). It should be neat and tidy, but there isn't much point paying for someone else's luxury renovation (why not add some value yourself?). Views are great if you can find them, but good luck in Toorak at an affordable price. Finally, if you want to rent it out you need to make sure you can find a great tenant quickly, and at the right return. I can tell you that right now, as off December 2022, 98.3% of our properties are currently occupied. What a time to be looking for an investment (and we hear negative gearing might be back).

I know what you are thinking, this all sounds too good to be true at this price-point...but why not take a closer look and the time to inspect? It could be the best decision you ever make.
