78 Lodge Road, Kalinga QLD 4030

Characterful 1930s Queenslander | dual-living layout | 810sqm in tight Kalinga pocket | pool and north-facing deck This property presents a rare configuration edge for Kalinga: a fully detached Queenslander on an 810-square-metre block with a permitted dual-living floorplan, which is uncommon in this tightly held suburb. The combination of six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and separate lower-level living and studio space serves buyers seeking multigenerational accommodation or a house that can generate ancillary income without structural compromise. The north-facing balcony, lap pool, and secure off-street parking for five vehicles are features that typically command a premium in this price band, and the property’s position within the Eagle Junction and Kedron State High catchments adds to its family-market appeal. The primary risk is the 100% building coverage, which limits future redevelopment potential and may constrain any buyer hoping to expand the footprint. The property sits on a 12-metre ground elevation with a 9-metre roof height, which is adequate but not commanding for flood-free positioning in the broader Brisbane context. The opportunity lies in leveraging the dual-living layout immediately—either as a high-yielding rental split or as a home with a self-contained wing for extended family. The estimated weekly rental of $1,395 supports a hold strategy while capital growth in Kalinga’s constrained market continues. Use this property as a long-term family home with an income buffer, not as a land-banking play.
