Complementing its strong development credentials is a fully renovated, high-spec residence designed to a modern standard. This residence offers an ideal turn-key home or premium rental option during the planning phase. Originally a standard dwelling, it has been significantly upgraded with quality improvements throughout, blending comfort, functionality, and long-term efficiency.

This provides a clear pathway for feasibility analysis and accelerated development application preparation. The property has also been enhanced with strong energy efficiency and sustainability features, including a high-capacity 6.6kW solar system paired with a substantial 32.5kWh battery storage unit, delivering reduced energy costs, improved efficiency, and long-term sustainability benefits.

Perfectly positioned within a major Western Sydney growth corridor, the property is within walking distance to the Parramatta Light Rail (Ngara) and offers immediate access to the Westmead Health and Education Precinct. It is also just a short distance to Parramatta CBD, ensuring convenient access to major retail, dining, and employment hubs. The area continues to benefit from significant infrastructure investment, including future connectivity improvements via the Darling Mills Creek Bridge and its inclusion within the Parramatta North Urban Transformation precinct, further enhancing long-term capital growth prospects.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a premium corner development site with strong holding income potential and exceptional long-term growth prospects in one of Western Sydney's most strategically positioned corridors.
