A Smart Buy in a High-Growth Area - Move In or Invest with Confidence

Positioned in the ever-popular suburb of Norman Gardens, 1 Forday Street presents an ideal opportunity for first home buyers, downsizers, or investors looking for a quality property with excellent potential.

This charming three-bedroom, one-bathroom home has been thoughtfully refreshed throughout. A brand new roof has just been installed, and inside, updates include a refreshed kitchen and a spacious living area that offers a comfortable, low-maintenance lifestyle for families or professionals.

Sitting on a generous 599sqm block, the outdoor space is a real standout. There's plenty of room for kids or pets, and the dedicated outdoor entertaining area, complete with a brick fire BBQ, makes it perfect for weekend gatherings. At the rear, a large 6.9m x 5.6m two-bay shed provides secure parking or workshop space, with room for two vehicles. An additional two open parking spaces offer extra convenience.

The location is peaceful and family-friendly, yet incredibly convenient - just a short walk to local schools, a daycare centre, and a nearby corner store. It's the best of both worlds: quiet suburban living with everyday essentials close at hand.

For peace of mind, a building and pest report is available, showing only minor issues with nothing of serious concern.

Currently leased at $520 per week until May 1st, 2026, this home offers strong investment appeal. A current rental appraisal estimates the potential to increase returns to between $550 and $580 per week after the lease ends.

This property represents outstanding value in a high-growth area. Don't miss your opportunity to secure a renovated, move-in ready home in one of Rockhampton's most desirable suburbs.
