This Croydon North subdivision project showcases a smart and efficient retain-and-build development, maximising the site's potential while preserving the existing front dwelling.
The project involved retaining the original home at the front of the property and delivering a thoughtfully designed single storey 3 bedroom residence to the rear. Carefully planned to optimise land use, privacy and functionality, the new dwelling offers modern living within an established residential setting.
The rear home features a practical open-plan layout, generous living spaces, contemporary finishes and seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity, designed to appeal to downsizers, young families and owner-occupiers alike.
By maintaining the existing streetscape and introducing a quality new dwelling behind, this development demonstrates an effective approach to suburban infill housing — creating additional value while complementing the surrounding character of Croydon North.
Our clients kept this property as part of their portfolio and eventually sold off the existing property at the front to pay down some debt. They have minimal debt on the second dwelling which has allowed for some cashflow returns and depreciation benefits.
