159 Empress Terrace Bardon QLD 4065

4 bed house on 739m² freshly listed |Auction 4 Apr |Est $1.66m value |School catchment appeal| 739m² land bank potential. This four-bedroom house on a 739sqm block suits families prioritising land for expansion near Ithaca Creek State School. The modest single-bathroom layout and 116sqm building footprint leave ample scope for renovation or rebuild, given the low 17% site coverage on this generously sized lot. Positioned on a terrace street with similar mid-century homes, it stands out for its three-car parking rarity in a walk-to-school zone 500m from quality state education. Buyers drawn here are typically downsizers or young families eyeing value-add projects, leveraging Bardon’s steady demand for larger blocks amid tighter supply. Comparable four-beds in the area have transacted firmly around $1.6-1.8m recently, underscoring this property’s alignment with local medians despite the dated internals. Its bushfire overlay warrants due diligence but rarely deters in this elevated, non-flood pocket with solid NBN and 5G access. Long-term, the 739sqm holding offers resilience against densification pressures, appealing to those banking on Bardon’s inner-west growth trajectory. Rental potential at $800pw supports bridging finance for owner-occupiers planning updates. Street position enhances accessibility without sacrificing the leafy outlook that retains owner interest over decades.
