β’ Option 1: Dual Street-Front Subdivision (Side-by-Side)
Leverage the rare dual street frontage to create two independent, street-front lots of approximately 385sqm each.
Ideal for two modern, high-spec homes with separate addresses and no shared common property or driveway.
β’ Option 2: "Retain and Build" Strategy
Keep the existing 1960s character home and renovate to add value while subdividing the rear portion of the block.
This allows for immediate rental income from the front residence while a second dwelling is constructed at the rear.
β’ Option 3: Battle-Axe Duplex Development
A traditional front-and-back subdivision layout featuring a shared driveway access.
Provides privacy for the rear residence and is a proven model for maximizing land utility in the Queens Park area.
β’ Option 4: The "Forever Home" Estate
Utilize the full 769sqm to build a substantial, luxury family residence.
Ample space for a sprawling floor plan, swimming pool, large workshop, or expansive landscaped gardens-a luxury rarely found in modern suburban lots.
β’ Option 5: Multi-Generational Living
Design a "main house and ancillary dwelling" (Granny Flat) setup.
Perfect for families looking to house multiple generations on one title while maintaining separate living quarters.
