5 Anthony Street, Carlingford NSW 2118

Corner block, north rear, duplex zoning | Epping West catchment, level 746m² | Flood overlay present, strong redevelopment angle | Owner-occupied street, limited recent sales This property’s primary buying case rests on its corner configuration and north-facing rear yard on a level 746-square-metre block within the Epping West Public School catchment — a combination rarely available in this pocket. The land’s orientation and shape support either a luxury rebuild with natural light across the living zones or a duplex development, subject to council approval. For a family seeking long-term land value with immediate occupancy, the existing three-bedroom house offers functional space while the site’s redevelopment potential builds future equity. The street’s high owner-occupier ratio and limited turnover suggest stable demand from discerning buyers who value position over finish. The flood overlay is the primary constraint, requiring floor level verification and potential earthworks costs that could affect duplex feasibility or rebuild budgets. Buyers should commission a contour survey and check council’s stormwater easements before committing. The building size discrepancy between 120 and 169 square metres matters less than the land’s development envelope — a buyer paying for the site should treat the existing house as a holding structure. Hold this property for its land fundamentals and school catchment, not for immediate rental yield.
