26 Northbourne Drive, Marsden Park NSW 2765

5-bed, 3-bath modern house | 55% site coverage, 264m² build | Marsden Park, Blacktown LGA | no overlays, strong rental yield This property offers a rare configuration advantage for a modern family house: five bedrooms on a 479m² lot with only 55% building coverage, leaving a generous backyard that is uncommon in this density. The 2016 build, dual living areas, and study position it well for a buyer seeking both space and separation, particularly suited to a growing family or an investor targeting the premium rental bracket. The absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage constraints removes costly insurance and renovation burdens, while the established NBN and 5G coverage support remote work viability. The main risk is the lack of recent sales history, making precise valuation difficult; the consensus range of $1.56m–$1.62m should be stress-tested against comparable sales in the immediate street. The 55% coverage also implies limited future extension potential without council approval, which may constrain capital uplift. For an owner-occupier, this house holds well as a long-term family home in a growth corridor; for an investor, the $975/week rental income provides a gross yield near 3.2%, acceptable for the area but requiring careful tenant screening to maintain the premium rent.
