45 Maclagan Street, Isaacs ACT 2607

5-bed Isaacs house | 876sqm block | 27% building coverage | solar panels & recent paint This property offers a rare combination of generous block size with a low 27% building coverage, which provides genuine scope for extension or landscaping without sacrificing the existing 5-bedroom configuration. The 1988 build with recent internal updates reduces immediate renovation burden, while solar panels and Fibre to the Node support modern liveability. It suits families prioritising school catchments for Farrer Primary and Melrose High, or buyers seeking a hold that can be improved over time for equity gain. The main risk is the lack of recent sales evidence for the street, with only 10 five-bedroom sales in the suburb this year and no auction clearance data. The property has been on market for one day only, so pricing discipline will be tested. The 2002 last sale price is irrelevant. Buyers should treat the value range of $1.517–$1.581M as a ceiling, not a floor. There is opportunity in negotiating below that, given the absence of competing bids. Hold for medium-term capital growth through incremental upgrades and land value appreciation.
