Elevated 920m² block | detached studio with bathroom | inground saltwater pool | three-phase power and solar The property’s competitive strength lies in its rare combination of a large, elevated 920m² lot with a detached studio that includes its own bathroom and split-system air conditioning—effectively offering a separate living or workspace without compromising the main house’s four bedrooms and three living areas. For a buyer seeking multigenerational flexibility, a home office with true separation, or a rental income stream from the studio, this configuration is difficult to match in East Maitland. The inground saltwater pool with solar heating, 6.3kW solar system, and three-phase power add operational efficiency and appeal to families who value low ongoing costs and outdoor amenity. The property best suits a buyer who prioritises space, independence of zones, and energy performance over a turnkey finish. The main risk is that the house itself may require updates—no recent sales history or renovation details are available, and the value range is wide, suggesting the market has not yet priced in the studio’s potential. This creates an opportunity: a buyer who can see past cosmetic work and verify the studio’s legal status (e.g., separate approval or council compliance) could secure a property with two income streams or dual-living capacity. The bushfire overlay is confirmed and should be investigated for insurance and development implications. Hold this property as a long-term family home with a rental studio, or use the studio for a dependent relative to increase usable space without extending the main dwelling.
