69 Edward Street, Dalby QLD 4405

Colonial-era character | 1012m² block | 365m² building footprint | No flood or bushfire risk | Below-market entry point against median The property’s 1935 origins present a maintenance cost you must expect, not avoid. That 365m² roof footprint at 5m height means repainting and guttering will cost a buyer roughly 8-12k more than a standard 2020’s build. The recent kitchen and exterior paint help, but the core structure is 90 years old, so plumbing and electrical systems are likely original or only partially upgraded. The land-to-building ratio is strong, 36% coverage leaves 647m² of usable yard, which in Dalby’s rental market supports a 535 weekly estimate against a 547k valuation, giving a 5.1% gross yield on current list price. This is a hold-and-improve proposition not a flip. Buy only if you plan to live in it for five years or rent it out as a stable passive income play. The 1012m² block with four parking spots, including that 9×6 shed with power, is rare for a sub-550k entry point in Dalby, where median house prices are 481k. The north-easterly outdoor area and new front porch give it a livability edge over comparable period homes that often lack modern amenity. This property serves the buyer who values space over polish, wants a foothold in a rising regional market, and can absorb minor upgrade costs incrementally. The sharpest next step is to request the building and pest report, then commission a plumber to scope the drainage lines, because the sale price gap to the high range estimate of 570k suggests the vendor has already priced in some deferred maintenance.
