MaxDwell buy's undervalued home in Blacktown

Our clients were initially drawn to 25 Charles Street, Blacktown, which sold at auction for $1.3 million. That home offered three bedrooms on a 561 m² block and presented well after renovation, but despite their interest they missed out under the hammer.

MaxDwell then stepped in to secure an alternative, sourcing 8 Winter Place, Blacktown through private treaty. The result was striking: for only $33,000 more, our clients purchased a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a larger 633 m² parcel, positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac. Beyond the immediate lifestyle advantages of extra accommodation and privacy, Winter Place also carries CDC approval for a granny flat, providing genuine dual-income or extended family potential. The property featured a renovated kitchen, pergola entertaining space, drive-through carport and fibre-to-the-premises internet—ready to live in or lease without further expense.

The comparison highlights the value achieved. Where Charles Street represented a well-kept three-bedroom home, Winter Place delivered substantially more—two extra bedrooms, a bigger block, and future development potential—at a price point that should have commanded at least a 10% premium over the auction result. By acting quickly and sourcing outside the auction arena, MaxDwell secured a home that was not only superior in location and offering, but also exceptional value for money.
