Renovated family home with pool | 739m² block 280m² floorplan | 38% site coverage | 4-car parking | auction 29 May This property offers a rare combination of generous land coverage and modern amenity in a suburb where the median for a four-bedroom house sits at $1.275m. The 280m² building size at 38% site coverage signals efficient use of the block, leaving room for outdoor living without compromising on interior space. The in-ground pool, renovated kitchen with induction cooktop and stone benchtops, and the slow combustion fireplace are features that typically command a premium in this market. The property suits a family seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready home with strong rental potential—current estimates of $1,025–$1,060 per week offer a gross yield above 3.4%, which is competitive for the Central Coast. The 2023 sale at $1.31m and subsequent upgrades suggest value has been added, positioning this house as a candidate for further capital growth in a suburb where 75% of residents own their homes and demand for quality family stock remains consistent. The primary risk is the auction format on 29 May, which may expose a buyer to bidding against motivated parties in a market with 44% auction clearance and 36 average days on market—indicating some buyer caution. The absence of flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays reduces insurance and compliance costs. The 5G/NBN connectivity is a supporting value add, not a prime driver. The property’s 51m elevation and roof height of 7m provide passive solar and ventilation advantages, lowering ongoing energy costs. The flexible fourth bedroom as a study or guest room increases appeal to downsizers or remote workers. A buyer should hold this property for at least five years to capture the full benefit of the renovation cycle and suburb maturation, or use it as a high-yielding rental with strong depreciation schedules on the solar panels and recent fit-out.
