Every home you inspect comes with someone else's story. The scuffs on the hallway walls. The carpet worn thin where someone else walked every day. The kitchen they chose, the bathroom they meant to update, the little jobs they never got around to.
1/23 Scribbly Gum Street doesn't have a story yet.
This home is brand new and has never been lived in. Nobody has cooked in this kitchen, picked out a bedroom or hung a single picture on these walls. The trades have packed up, the finishes are fresh, and whoever buys it gets to write chapter one.
This is what a true fresh start looks like.
It starts with the light. Skylights run right through the home, so natural light follows you from room to room as the day moves. Then you look up: 2.9m ceilings give every space a height and openness you rarely find, and the home is wide all ways, with generous hallways and doorways so nobody squeezes past anyone on a busy morning and moving day is easy.
Two large living rooms change the way a family lives. The kids can have the TV and the toys in one, while the other stays a quiet place for a coffee, a book or a conversation that doesn't compete with cartoons. All four bedrooms are generous sizes, so no one gets stuck with the "small room", and three bathrooms put an end to the morning queue. Upstairs, away from the busy part of the house, the large master bedroom is your own retreat, with a walk-in robe and a private ensuite.
High-end fixtures and fittings run throughout, the kind you'd choose if you were building it yourself. Ducted air conditioning keeps every room comfortable through a Coast summer and a cool winter, and fibre to the premises NBN means the work-from-home calls don't drop and the streaming doesn't buffer. Outside, the block is level and low maintenance, so your weekends go to the beach instead of the garden.
And the beach is close. Shelly Beach is around 15 minutes away, and Westfield Tuggerah is around 10 minutes for the weekly shop, the movies and everything in between. All of this sits in the sought-after Glades Estate, with quiet streets and bushland surrounds. Sydney is around 50 minutes away and so is Newcastle, putting you right between two major cities without paying to live in either.
For investors, the story is just as strong. Brand new means no maintenance surprises in year one, no ageing hot water system and no roof to worry about. It also means maximum depreciation benefits on the building and fixtures, which can make a negatively geared strategy work harder for you. Rental return is estimated at around $1,000 per week, and a home like this, in an estate like this, attracts quality long-term family tenants.
Four bedrooms. Three bathrooms. Two living rooms. Brand new. And a story that only gets written once.
