Last Listing description (May 2026)

A rare opportunity in the tightly held Darwin inner-city precinct.

Currently used as a city home for the very long-term owners. This property could be your own home or perhaps a rental investment, whilst you prepare your redevelopment plans.

The home has 3 bedrooms upstairs and a large rear verandah overlooking the yard. There are further rooms downstairs plus a second bathroom.

The property has excellent off-street parking, both undercover and in the open. Access is available via two driveways along the Shepherd Street frontage.

The home is fully post-cyclone coded.

The CB, or Central Business zoning is a very flexible zoning, allowing the land to be developed with highrise units, offices, retail and more.

This corner site location opens up any future development to some wide-ranging views to the North and East. It also provides the opportunity to have excellent natural light coming into the building.

As the neighbour at 33 Lindsay Street is also listed for sale, there is a possibility to secure both properties and have a substantial consolidated site with 3 street frontages.
