12 Inwood Street, Wooloowin QLD 4030

Character cottage | 6km city fringe | 405m² pool block | downsizer or investor play This house occupies a rare position in Wooloowin: a character cottage on a full 405m² lot with a detected pool, within walking distance of two state schools and a train station. For a buyer seeking a low-maintenance city-fringe holding with genuine rental upside, the configuration is unusually strong. The 120m² floorplan with original floorboards, large living, and a second room that can serve as a study or nursery gives it flexibility that most cottages at this price point lack. It suits downsizers wanting single-level living near transport, or investors targeting the $685pw rental midpoint with capital growth from a tightening inner-north market. The main risk is the absence of recent sale data and a 2002 last transaction, which leaves the buyer without a clear price anchor. The $1.35m+ listing sits at a discount to the $2.065m sale at 26 Inwood Street, but that property was larger on a double block,this house must be valued on its own smaller footprint. The pool adds maintenance cost without confirmed council approval, and the 30% building coverage limits future extension. The buying case rests on location and scarcity: hold for rental yield while the suburb re-rates, or reposition as a polished downsizer home for a premium resale within three to five years.
