The Best Homes Often Start With the Best Blocks
Some properties impress because of what has already been built.
Others stand out because of what they make possible.
Welcome to 12 Caringbah Street, Wakerley.
Positioned on a level 724m2 corner allotment with an impressive 54.6 metres of combined frontage, this is one of those increasingly rare opportunities where the land may be just as valuable as the home itself.
Set within one of Wakerley's most established pockets, the property occupies a high and level position that many buyers overlook. Yet on a clear day, you'll often catch glimpses of the Brisbane skyline from the street, a subtle reminder of the home's elevated setting and desirable location.
Built at a time when homes were designed around generous proportions rather than squeezing every square metre onto a block, this residence offers the space, flexibility and substance that families continue to seek.
Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate one of the home's most distinctive features. The formal lounge boasts soaring raked ceilings that create a wonderful sense of openness and natural light. It's a space that feels grand, welcoming and increasingly difficult to replicate in many modern homes.
Multiple living areas provide flexibility for growing families, while the practical floorplan offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and the versatility needed for everyday living.
Outside is where the real opportunity begins.
The level corner allotment provides options that are becoming increasingly difficult to find throughout Brisbane's Bayside corridor.
Whether your vision includes a swimming pool, a substantial shed for boats, caravans or hobbies, additional entertaining areas, or accommodation for extended family, this property provides the space to make those plans a reality.
Subject to relevant approvals, buyers may wish to investigate the potential for a secondary dwelling of approximately 80m2 habitable area, plus associated non-habitable structures such as patios, carports and storage areas. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly scarce in established Bayside suburbs.
For buyers thinking long-term, this is the type of property that allows you to add value over time rather than being restricted by land size or site constraints.
