Family-sized brick home on 797sqm | dual living zones with pool and deck | Lucas Heights school catchment | Sutherland Shire location with 5G coverage This property presents a strong buying case for families seeking a single-level brick home with generous indoor-outdoor flow in the Sutherland Shire. The 265sqm building footprint on a 797sqm block is competitively rare for the area, offering multiple living zones and a covered entertainer’s deck that connects directly to the swimming pool. The 2000 build year means modern construction standards without the premium of a new build, and the ducted heating and cooling reduces ongoing fit-out costs. The Lucas Heights Community School catchment adds long-term appeal for buyers with school-age children, while the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies due diligence. The primary risk is the property’s long holding period since 1995, which may indicate deferred maintenance or cosmetic updates needed beyond the renovated ensuite. The 33% building coverage leaves substantial yard space, but buyers should verify the pool’s condition and compliance. The NBN Hybrid Fibre Coaxial connection is adequate but not a prime value driver. The opportunity lies in the property’s positioning as a turnkey family home in a low-risk area, with potential to add value through kitchen or bathroom updates over time. The rental income estimate of $1,305 per week provides a fallback option if circumstances change.
