25A & B McIntosh Street

PRICE GUIDE: From $900,000. All reasonable pre-auction offers will be considered. Sitting elevated from its quiet loop street on a 1,119m2 block, this solid duplex offers the kind of privacy and investment future that's increasingly hard to find. The two-bedroom home to the front makes excellent use of its orientation - a north-facing living and dining space fills with beautiful natural light throughout the day, while the bedrooms occupy the eastern side of the layout, welcoming gentle morning sun. The one-bedroom home to the rear benefits from the buffer provided by the expansive rear yard - a huge wedge of the block that's laid almost wholly to lawn. But the real conversation here is about what this block can become. Under the ACT Government's recent changes to residential densification, this RZ1 block could comfortably accommodate three dwellings - and it also meets the criteria for subdivision. In a suburb already seeing steady redevelopment activity, that's a significant opportunity. Whether you're an owner-occupier with a long-term vision for your dream build, a developer with an eye for value, or an investor seeking a low-maintenance holding with tenants already in the market, the pathway forward is genuinely compelling. Or simply get your foot in the door - live in one, lease the other, and let the market do its work while you consider your next move. Versatility like this rarely comes in one package and with its position a five-minute stroll from Scullin shops and Southern Cross Primary School and a five-minute drive from Belconnen Town Centre, high schools and colleges, the location is quietly convenient in the way that matters most.
