14 James Street, The Range QLD 4700

Corner block over 1800sqm | 40m dual frontage | landmark character home | mature private gardens The buying case for this property rests on its scarcity. A corner allotment of this size in The Range, with 40 metres of frontage to two streets, is almost never available. The 4-bedroom character home sits behind established gardens that provide complete privacy despite the prominent position, which is a rare combination. For a buyer seeking a substantial family home with room to extend, reconfigure, or hold as a long-term land bank, this offers a positional advantage that few other properties in the precinct can match. The dual street access also creates potential for separate driveway or future subdivision consideration, subject to council approval. The main risk is the property’s age and condition. A home last sold in 2002 for $225,000 will likely require significant capital to update structure, services, and amenity to current standards. The buyer should budget for a thorough building and pest inspection, and expect that renovation costs could be substantial. The opportunity lies in the land value alone; even if the house requires full renovation, the site’s dimensions and corner exposure support a premium end value well above the current estimated $1.42 million. Hold this property for its land fundamentals and improve the dwelling over time.
