Last Listing description (October 2024)

This spacious 682sqm landholding, fronting both Selwyn Street and Little Edward Street, is a gem waiting to be polished. Currently, there are four leased units on-site, generating a steady income of $1,470 per week. It's the perfect 'set and forget' investment for savvy investors, ready to keep delivering steady returns.

But the real magic lies in the potential. Carry out some cosmetic updates or go for a complete renovation to elevate the rental income even further. Plus, there's an exciting opportunity with the lapsed Development Application to add a second dwelling. Investigating and reactivating this DA could allow you to build a fifth unit, transforming this property into a more lucrative investment.

Developers will love the block's size and its three street frontages. Zoned R2, the options are plentiful. Think luxury beachside home or duplex, complete with all the bells and whistles, or a new multi-unit development befitting this prized location (STCA). With the demand for quality housing in Merewether, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss.
