819m2 flat, freehold, & family friendly


With a grand total of 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, & 3 living areas, this substantial home & income property is perfect for large families, savvy first home buyers, investors & developers:

On a flat freehold 819m2 section zoned Mixed Housing Suburban, the main house is a classic 1960's bungalow on a concrete block base with 7 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, & 2 living areas with great outdoor flow to wide sunny undercover decking. It has new carpets, new paint, modern kitchen & spacious bathroom upstairs plus brand new bathroom downstairs. At the back is a 1 bedroom cottage with new kitchen, new paint & carpets & modern bathroom. It's in a great location handy to Birkdale Primary, Intermediate, & Birkenhead College. A few minutes' drive will take you to the shops of Glenfield or Birkenhead & it's not too much further to motorways.

There are so many options:
  • Are you a developer? The flat freehold 819m2 section is zoned Mixed Housing Suburban & has a connection for wastewater onsite & stormwater is close by in the road. Good rent (assessed at $1200 to $1300pw) while you make your plans & apply for consents.

  • Are you a landbanking investor? The combined rent from both dwellings will make this a very attractive proposition, plus it's very valuable land when the time comes for you to on-sell.

  • Are you a large owner-occupier extended family? This substantial property will house you all!

  • Are you a first home buyer? This is a rare & unique opportunity to catapult yourself several rungs up the property ladder: Live in one while you rent the other out to help service your mortgage. If you are really savvy why not live in the 1 bedroom cottage (assessed at $350-$400pw) while renting out the main 7 bedroom house (assessed at $850-$900pw). Talk to your bank - you may be surprised how much extra you can borrow once you factor in the rental income.
