Last Listing description (October 2025)

Nestled in the thriving suburb of Cardiff, which is fast becoming the centre of the Newcastle sprawl, this rare dual-property package is a standout opportunity for savvy investors and SMSF, home buyers wanting a dual income, and forward-thinking developers who wish to have a good yield now but high equity for development later.

The properties, set on one title and comprising two separate, well-maintained two-bedroom residences, provide the ultimate in flexibility.
So, whether you're seeking dual rental returns, multi-generational living, or a redevelopment project with strong future potential (STCA).

Both homes are thoughtfully designed for practical, low-maintenance living. Each offers reverse-cycle air conditioning for year-round comfort, private outdoor spaces ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation, and secure parking options. With independent yards and entryways, the dwellings operate separately, giving tenants or extended families the necessary privacy.

The 8-year-old granny flat (at the back) is currently tenanted. At the same time, the original 1940s home (at the front) was renovated tidily (nine years ago) and looks great. This home is currently vacant and ready to move in or lease without delay.

These properties deliver immediate income security while offering long-term growth prospects in a rapidly evolving suburb. Positioned within easy walking distance to Cardiff's vibrant town centre, local shops, and popular cafés, the homes also enjoy excellent connectivity via Cardiff Train Station for fast commuting to Newcastle and beyond. You will value the proximity to quality schools, childcare, and community facilities. At the same time, the short drive elevates weekend lifestyles to the stunning Beaches to the East or Lake Macquarie foreshore to the West, with Charlestown Square retail precinct only a short drive away, and Newcastle's thriving CBD close by.

Opportunities to secure two dwellings on one title in such a prime location are exceedingly rare. Whether you choose to live in one and rent the other, enjoy strong dual-income investment returns, or explore redevelopment potential, this property offers unmatched versatility and lifestyle appeal.
