Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 878 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $602/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.
Detail
Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 878 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.
Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Development optionality of this lot

Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 878 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.
Lot-level flood
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure

Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownNSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.
Net yield / holding costs

Listing material
Listed by SOLD Real EstateOn fire, well it was, and now it's been all but re-built, and the winner is you, with everything inside almost all brand spanking new.
A ton of the heavy lifting has been done here, from the clean lines, fresh modern kitchen with walk in pantry, to the fresh and functional bathroom, and new plaster and paintwork throughout, the layout feels light filled and wonderfully open plan and easy to live in.
The best features of the original cottage remain, with genuine timber floorboards throughout the living and entry, flowing beyond to the 3 generous original bedrooms.
Out the back, second open style living and bedroom 4, also boast genuine timber floorboards, providing that quality feel and continuity of flooring we all love.
With a lovely easy flow to the backyard, the floorplan here makes sense, with the kitchen central to both light filled front and rear living areas, with the bedrooms and bathroom in a wing of their own.
The back laundry screams second bathroom potential too.
There's this magic combination of wonderfully already done, and move in ready, mixed with a magnificent opportuntity to add extreme value, without starting from scratch, ta rare mix, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often.
Not at all over-polished, it's definitely not overdone, leaving lots of room for you to come in, and let your imagination run wild, with a roll up your sleeves attitude, and a good eye for design, you can not only make it your own, but you can make money here too!
Promising the perfect North facing big backyard, with a monster pool, plenty of lawn, and fabulous side access to a huge 4 car, old school shed, that is definitely in need of a make over, but would come up a treat.
It's out the back that you can really turn this property around, from eye sore to resort setting.
Right now, the pool and spa are definitely more frog pond on steroids, than refreshing or sparkling blue, with the local ducks even giving it a hard pass at the moment, but apparently the pool equipment still works, and the pool can be salvaged and turned around.
Imagine the home opening out to a luxe pool, with a blue lagoon backdrop, creating the perfect outlook from dawn to dusk day to day living and entertaining.
Picture lush lawn, the super size shed partly transforming to a fantatic pool house, with new contemporary lake house cladding with another new big shed appearing out the back, if toys and tinkering are your thing!
While more outback reserve now, the potential is undeniable, and represents a huge upside.
A chance to transform, to add value, and to create something genuinely special in a location that absolutely deserves it.
Set in highly desired Swansea North, just 8 houses from The Lake, this is where lifestyle meets opportunity.
Morning walks to the water at the end of the street, sunset strolls to The Channel the other way … it's all right here, and all on the flat.
Inside, the home opens up into light-filled living spaces with a mix of finishes that tell the story.
Polished areas blend with raw timber floorboards that are just waiting for their next chapter.
It's real, it's honest, and it gives you options.
Move straight in and enjoy, or take it to the next level over time.
At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen is clean, functional, and well-positioned to connect with both living and dining.
The new bathroom follows suit, modern and fresh, already done so you can focus your energy elsewhere.
The layout flows easily, and offers multiple living zones, good bedroom separation, and direct access out to the covered entertaining area and backyard beyond.
• A solid, single-level home set on a flat, usable block in tightly held Swansea North
• Just 8 houses to the lake, delivering an easy, level walk to the waterfront
• Updated kitchen with modern cabinetry, ample bench space, and practical layout
• Renovated bathroom with clean finishes, neutral tones, and a fresh, modern feel
• Fresh paint throughout creating a light, bright, move-in-ready interior
• Air conditioning providing comfort across the main living zones
• A mix of finished and raw timber flooring offering immediate livability with future upside
• Multiple living areas allow flexibility for families, downsizers, or those working from home
• Covered outdoor entertaining area flowing seamlessly from the main living space
• A pool that currently needs love but represents serious value-add potential
• Wide side access leading through to a large garage and separate workshop space
• Ideal setup for tradies, hobbyists, boat owners, or those needing serious storage
• Generous backyard space with room to landscape, improve, and completely transform
This is the kind of property that speaks to a wide range of buyers.
For premium lifestyle location enthusiasts, this is a chance to secure something with a clear upside, and an affordable entry level price point, a blank canvas where all of the big-ticket items have already been taken care of.
And for anyone who understands real estate… it's simple.
Location first, potential second.
Positioned in one of Swansea's most tightly held pockets, you are just a flat, easy walk to the Lake at the end of the street, and equally close to the channel in the opposite direction.
Swansea Beach, Cafes, clubs, shops, boat ramps, and everything you need day to day are all within easy reach, which is part of Swansea's never ending appeal.
Opportunities like this are getting harder to find… especially ones where you can still add your own touch and reap the rewards.
Come and see the potential for yourself.
