A three-bedroom terrace a few doors down sold for $1.6 million last August. Both have their bedrooms spread across the upper two levels and this one’s first-floor study could turn it into a three-bedroom terrace, too. There’s huge scope to renovate and capitalise on its views. It could potentially rent for $750 to $800 a week.

House prices rose 28.5 per cent in this leafy northern suburb in the past year, but this full-brick home is priced under its $1.5 million median price for three-bedroom houses. It has good, solid bones, but is ripe for renovation. It sits on an elevated 638-square-metre block with a big backyard.

Near Sydney Uni, this renovated terrace has a formal lounge that could easily be turned into a third bedroom so the house could be rented for $825 a week. There’s a separate casual lounge and an eat-in kitchen, and both the upstairs bedrooms are a good size.
