87 Mackay Street, Coorparoo QLD 4151

27m frontage | 5-bed renovated house | walkable Coorparoo | architect-designed bones This house offers a rare combination of a wide 27-metre frontage on a low-maintenance 450m² block, with five bedrooms and recent renovations that reduce immediate outlay. The original design by an award-winning architect gives it structural credibility that many renovated homes lack. It suits a family wanting space near schools and cafes without the need for further work. The street has high owner-occupier density, which stabilises neighbourhood character and resale appeal. The main risk is the lack of recent comparable sales on Mackay Street for freestanding houses, making the Domain estimate of around $2.39m a broad guide rather than a firm floor. The historical sale price from 2013 is irrelevant now. Buyers should verify the bedroom count discrepancy between current and past records, as it may affect valuation if one room is non-compliant. The opportunity lies in the frontage: it allows future subdivision or a granny flat if zoning permits, adding land-bank value. Hold this property for at least five years to let the location and scarcity of wide blocks compound.
