45 Maranoa Street, Kaleen ACT 2617

Large 873sqm block | 4 bed 2 bath family layout | North-east aspect | Priority school catchment | First sale in decades The property’s strongest buying case rests on its land size and orientation. At 873 square metres with a north-east aspect, the house captures natural light across timber-floored living areas and a deck designed for entertaining. Being offered for the first time in decades, the home presents renovation upside without the premium of a fully updated property. The priority enrolment for Maribyrnong Primary and UC High School Kaleen strengthens appeal for families. For a buyer seeking space, school access, and a block that supports future improvement, this house positions well within the suburb’s median price range for comparable four-bedroom homes. The main risk is the low energy efficiency rating of 0.5, which will increase ongoing utility costs and may require insulation or window upgrades. The fibre-to-the-node NBN is functional but not a prime driver. The auction campaign and 66% clearance rate in Kaleen suggest moderate competition, not a bidding frenzy. Buyers should budget for cosmetic and energy upgrades, but the block size and street’s 90% owner-occupier mix support long-term holding. Use this property as a family home with renovation potential, or hold for land value growth in a stable suburb.
