34 Crabb Road, Smithfield Plains SA 5114
Semi-detached duplex | 990m² MPN-zoned lot | Tenanted with upside | 1969 build, one upgraded
This property presents a strategic land play with immediate income. Its core strength is the 990m² lot under Master Planned Neighbourhood zoning, a rare parcel size that grants substantial development optionality beyond the existing two units. The configurationone renovated unit and one requiring workprovides a value-add path for either rental uplift or repositioning. It serves the investor seeking a foothold in a growth corridor with a buffer against vacancy through current tenancies.
Proceed with the cost of the flood overlay assessment and a precise subdivision feasibility study priced into your offer. The duplex structure and dated second unit limit premium resale to owner-occupiers, anchoring its utility to investors or developers. Acquire for hold, leveraging the zoning to future-proof the investment, with a clear plan to renovate the second unit to capture the evident rental upside and strengthen the overall income profile.
