14 Murdock Place Wakerley QLD 4154

Split-level sanctuary | 407m² under roof | Bushfire overlay present | Owner-occupied pocket This property offers a rare configuration advantage in Wakerley: a split-level floor plan with 407 square metres of internal space on a 696-square-metre lot, giving 58 percent site coverage that most standard homes cannot match. The double-height carport and double lock-up garage create genuine utility for a boat, caravan, or workshop use—a practical edge in a suburb where 75 percent of properties are owner-occupied and turnover is low. The 24-kilowatt ducted air-conditioning, Blackbutt timber floors, and reverse osmosis filtered water tap signal a home that has been upgraded for long-term comfort, not resale gloss. This property best suits a family who values internal volume and covered parking over a large backyard, and who is prepared to pay a premium for a home that is effectively a custom build in a quiet pocket. The bushfire overlay is the primary risk: it may increase insurance costs and limit some future renovations, though no flood or heritage overlays apply. The asking price sits near the upper end of the estimated value range, meaning the buyer must negotiate from a position of low comparable sales evidence—only one recent street sale. The rental estimate of $995 per week suggests a gross yield below 3 percent, so this is not an income play. The commercial logic is simple: buy for the configuration and the street character, not for flipping. Hold as a long-term family home, and the scarcity of similar floor plans in this suburb will protect value over time.
