There is plenty of room for cars, boats, trailers, kids stuff and still room for a massive pool and entertaining area, as well as sheds and more. Plans were previously DA approved to add 2 x 3 bedroom units on the front but the owners filled the home with children and fell in love with the space ! It can also be subdivided into 2 blocks, putting another house on the front if desired.
The block has also been filled so it is nice & high.
