20 Morcombe Street, Brighton QLD 4017

Brighton flood-overlay house | 405m² land | 3 bed, 1 bath | NBN HFC and 5G This property offers a rare combination of a full 405m² land holding in a coastal Brisbane suburb with a flood overlay that has not deterred market pricing, as the current listing sits near the top of the valuation range. The 43% building coverage leaves meaningful yard space, and the 3-metre ground elevation with a 5-metre roof height suggests the house is elevated above typical low-lying flood risk. For a buyer seeking a detached house with expansion potential in a school-catchment area served by Brighton State School and Bracken Ridge State High, this represents a viable entry point into a tightly held pocket of Brighton. The flood overlay is the primary risk, and any buyer must verify the specific flood level against the house’s finished floor height before proceeding. The inconsistency across sources on land size, car spaces, and floor area signals either data error or a property that has been modified without full council record, so a building and pest inspection is essential. The opportunity lies in the land-to-building ratio: with 175m² of building on 405m², there is scope for a rear extension or a second dwelling subject to council approval, which could lift the property’s value above the current $1.08 million asking price.
