Originally built as one home, 22 Cathcart Street has evolved into something altogether more versatile. The original 1940s residence has been thoughtfully divided into two self-contained units and has also previously been utilised as business/office premises, opening the door to a variety of possibilities. An easy walk to the CBD, and with excellent exposure to the highway and an existing street-front sign in the yard providing a prominent position for business advertising, the property offers an appealing option for those seeking a highly visible premises from which to operate, subject to any necessary approvals.

+ Each residence features two spacious bedrooms, a renovated kitchen with electric cooking, dishwasher and rangehood, and an updated bathroom with dual showerhead, creating two comfortable and independently functioning spaces
+ Additional living areas add further versatility, with Unit 1 incorporating a small sunroom or sitting area off one bedroom, while Unit 2 features a working fireplace, distinctive circular stained-glass windows and a separate sunroom with plantation shutters
+ Previously utilised as business/office premises, the property’s flexible configuration, excellent highway exposure and existing street-front advertising sign also lend themselves to a range of professional or business uses, subject to any necessary approvals
+ Currently operating as short-stay accommodation, Unit 2 has been achieving approximately $250 per night with a vendor-advised occupancy rate of around 90%, presenting an established option for buyers interested in continuing its accommodation use
Beyond the two residences, a double carport and additional off-street parking provide room for multiple vehicles, while Unit 1 is complemented by its own single carport. Twenty-three solar panels and insulation to the main building add further practicality to a property designed to accommodate more than one purpose.
Whether the vision is to accommodate different generations under the one roof, live in one and explore the possibilities of the other, continue the property’s existing accommodation use, or establish a highly visible business or professional premises, 22 Cathcart Street offers a level of flexibility that its traditional façade doesn’t immediately reveal. Its transformation from one 1940s home into two individual spaces has created an opportunity to enjoy the history and character of the original building in an entirely different way.
