Alternatively, spanning a generous 1,012sqm block with a 20m frontage this desirable location is primed for multiple uses and all the hard work is done as it is DA approved for five architecturally designed modern two-storey townhouses with strata subdivision. This property's convenient position and R3 zoning allows for a range of opportunities for the savvy investor to reap the rewards of strong capital growth and a high rental yield in Lake Macquarie's growing CBD.

The attained council approval includes the demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of 5 townhouses - two x 2 bedroom and three x 3 bedroom dwellings, designed with extra living areas, walk-in robes and ample parking, as well as balcony views over the Sugarloaf Ranges.

For developers this is a rare opportunity to build in an established and sought after suburb that's currently in the midst of a range of exciting large-scale public and private investments, including the expansion of Charlestown Square, "The Corner" entertainment and eatery, a regional transport interchange, upgraded cycling facilities, and a range of other targeted strategic area upgrades.
