Overview
This distinctive property offers a rare, north-facing quarter-acre block of 1,082 square meters situated in the heart of Camp Hill, an area prized for its prestigious and peaceful elevated location just six kilometers from Brisbane’s CBD. The site currently features a character-filled, five-bedroom Queenslander home that combines immediate lifestyle appeal with renovation possibilities, enhanced further by an approved Development Application (DA) that unlocks a variety of flexible options for future enhancement or redevelopment.
The broad 27.6-metre frontage is a significant asset, providing space and flexibility uncommon in this sought-after suburb. Council approval to relocate the existing home onto one of the two lots means the property can be subdivided without demolition controls or character overlay restrictions on the free lot, allowing purchasers several strategic choices:
- Retain the entire quarter-acre parcel to develop a landmark family residence with expansive grounds in exclusive Camp Hill.
- Utilise the DA to move and demolish the existing home, creating two separate, vacant blocks of approximately 541 square meters each, each with a 13.8-metre frontage.
- Develop both vacant lots individually or hold onto one as an investment while selling the other, with zoning favourable to residential development.
- Opt for dual usage by moving the existing house to renovate and occupy, while building or selling the other lot separately.
The house itself features classic Queenslander architecture with soaring ceilings exceeding three meters, polished timber floorboards, and intricate fretwork that underscore its historic charm. The spacious upper-level living zones include an adjoining rear alfresco deck ideal for entertaining or relaxed family time. The modern kitchen, equipped with Westinghouse appliances including a dishwasher, supports contemporary needs while the legal-height lower level provides additional living, rumpus, bedrooms, bathroom, and a separate entrance, enabling easy conversion to dual living or guest accommodation.
- Five bedrooms and two bathrooms in total, plus an additional upstairs guest powder room.
- On-site parking accommodates up to four vehicles, including a two-car rear garage or shed.
- Comfort features include reverse cycle air-conditioning on both levels, ceiling fans, solar panels with battery storage, and water tanks as part of an energy-efficient plan.
Location benefits include being within easy walking distance to the top-rated Camp Hill State School and St Thomas' Catholic Primary, as well as excellent childcare facilities and elite private colleges nearby. Local shops, cafes, restaurants, public transport, and parklands with playgrounds and dog exercise areas enhance the lifestyle appeal, supported by close proximity to the Martha Street dining precinct, Camp Hill Marketplace with Woolworths, and major shopping hubs such as Coorparoo Square and Westfield Carindale.
This property offers a compelling opportunity for a wide range of buyers—from families seeking a sprawling home and land to renovators, developers or investors impressed by the rare DA and subdivision options. All development proposals are subject to Brisbane City Council approval, ensuring future land use aligns with community guidelines and asset protection.
