As both a homeowner and one of Acrow’s skilled carpenters, Shaughn had a clear vision: to add a secondary dwelling to his Wyongah property that would generate additional rental income while maintaining a high standard of build and design. He knew the value of a well-planned investment and wanted something that would be both attractive and functional for future tenants.
Shaughn selected The Dock — a contemporary design that offers practical living with room to entertain. To enhance its appeal, he worked closely with Acrow to modify the layout slightly, adding a larger patio with an extended roof, perfect for outdoor living and easy maintenance.
Smart, Functional Upgrades
The build was completed under a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), streamlining approvals and keeping the project within budget and timeframe. Flooring choices were practical: tiles in the living areas for easy cleaning and carpet in the bedrooms for comfort.
During the colour selection and finishing stage, Shaughn added personal touches that improved both aesthetics and tenant functionality. He chose knob handles throughout, upgraded the towel rail, and included a dishwasher. A rotary clothesline was installed in lieu of a fold-out, reflecting a balance between practicality and quality living.
Constructed by B&J with a timber frame and truss system, the granny flat stands as a durable, low-maintenance investment property, combining modern design, tenant-friendly features, and clever use of space.
Outcome & Investment Benefits
The completed Wyongah granny flat is compact, stylish, and ready for tenancy. The extended patio and quality interior finishes make it appealing to renters, while the practical additions — from flooring choices to appliances — ensure low-maintenance living. Shaughn’s investment now offers a reliable source of rental income and long-term property value growth.
