Swanning by the park in Sydney's west

As first homebuyers look for more creative solutions to getting a foot on the property ladder, the search is on for sites with potential to go from real estate ‘ugly ducklings’ into dream home ‘swans’.

A double site 1 and 1A Donald Street in Yennora in Sydney’s west offers the opportunity to do just that.

Backing onto Knight Park, the 1,575 sqm double blocks will be sold in a straight line this Saturday, November 26, offering potential for two separate dwellings on a freehold subdivision.

Just 550m from Old Guildford Public School and 1km from Yennora Station, these two sites are ripe for redevelopment, representing the chance to build the perfect family home on one block and maintain the other for passive income, or redevelop both and reap the profits.

Under the Fairfield Council LEP, the sites are zoned R2, Low Density Residential, ensuring that you and your neighbours can enjoy the same laidback lifestyle free from over development and overshadowing.

Given the median house price in Yennora is $922,500, according to Smart Property Investment, this property’s $1.3 million price guide from Town & Country Real Estate Merrylands could offer excellent value for the right buyer.

Address: 1 & 1A Donald Street, Yennora

Price guide: $1.3 million

Open for inspection: 2.30pm Saturday, November 26

The suburban neighbourhood of Kellyville, NSW, might be just under an hour from your nearest beach—like Bondi, Manly and Dee Why—but that’s not to say one can’t own a home with true Hamptons-style aesthetics. Because, that’s exactly what you’ll find here at 11 Acres Road.

Thanks to a brand new renovation that’s plentiful in its modern offerings, it’s hard to go past the quality and attention to detail that has been given to this large and spacious suburban home. While providing that sense of luxury, it also has a sense of warmth and welcome; this is truly a home suitable for families, but also for those that appreciate the finer details in life.

You’ll find four large bedrooms—including two masters with ensuites, one upstairs and one downstairs—as well as a total of three bathrooms and a circular driveway for three cars; the ability for spacious living is immediately apparent. Multiple living areas are fitted out with European oak flooring, giving a sense of effortless Hamptons style-meets-suburban chic. There’s a lavishly renovated kitchen with Carrara marble finishings—a home cook’s dream—plus a covered alfresco with a wood fired pizza oven, guaranteed to appeal to those with a penchant for entertaining.

This home comes with a sizeable backyard that’s ready for a bevy of activities, from gardening to backyard cricket (and more). Ducted aircon will heat and cool the home throughout, and for those chilly winter nights, enjoy a custom-made fireplace of the highest quality craftsmanship.

As always, location is paramount in one’s search for the perfect property. Located just minutes from the zoned Kellyville Primary and High School, as well as public transport to the city, 11 Acres Road ticks all the right boxes in terms of affordability, location and style.
