76 Hickey Way, Carrara QLD 4211
Large dual-living layout on 715m² | 5-bed, 4-bath, 353m² internal | Elevated with hinterland views | Suits multi-generational or income-focused buyers | 1990 build with premium space over finish
This house stands out in Carrara for its sheer scale and functional flexibility. At 353m² internal with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, it offers roughly double the floor area of typical family stock in the immediate street, where three-to-four-bedroom homes around 140–200m² are the norm. The dual-living configuration—separate zones, a guest suite with its own kitchenette and ensuite, plus side access and workshop space—creates genuine multi-generational or home-plus-income potential that few nearby properties can match. The elevated position with hinterland views adds a lifestyle layer that broadens appeal beyond pure utility. It serves best a buyer wanting substantial space for an extended family, or an investor seeking strong rental yield through dual-occupancy use.
The 1990 build means condition and finish will vary, and the large layout carries higher running and maintenance costs than a standard family home. The parking discrepancy—two recorded spaces versus marketing claims of six-car capacity—should be clarified on inspection, as it affects practical appeal. Rental estimates vary widely, from $1,000 to $1,700 per week, reflecting two distinct use cases; the higher end depends on the dual-living appraisal being realised. Land size at 715m² is not unusual for the pocket, so the value sits primarily in the building footprint and configuration rather than the block itself.
