22 Love Street, Crestmead QLD 4132

3 bed, 1 bath, 658m² | 25% site coverage, 167m² building | Bushfire overlay, no flood risk | Crestmead State School 0.6km, Marsden High 2.5km The buying case here is its uncommon site efficiency. With only 25% coverage on a 658m² lot, the house sits on a footprint that leaves substantial yard space for extension or a granny flat, a rare configuration in a suburb where most blocks are more heavily built upon. The 40m elevation and 5m roof height also position it above street level, offering better passive cooling and drainage than neighbouring lots. This property suits a buyer wanting a family home with immediate school access and a clear path to add value through a rear dwelling or renovation, given the 1990s core is structurally sound and free of heritage overlays. The bushfire overlay is the primary risk; it may raise insurance premiums by 15–25% and limit certain landscaping or material choices. However, the absence of flood or heritage constraints simplifies approvals for any future development. The 3.6% gross rental yield on the $885k estimate is below the suburb median of 3.8%, so if buying as an investment, the play is on capital growth from the 15.4% annual trend and the ability to subdivide or build a second dwelling to lift yield. Hold for 5–7 years and renovate the bathroom or add a second bathroom to capture the next buyer pool.
