30 Bennelong Cres, Macquarie ACT 2614

Corner block with deep garden | 5.5-star energy rating | 928m² in tight suburb | 1971 build with modern solar | 3-bed floorplan for families This property’s competitive edge is the 928m² corner block in a suburb where median land is smaller, combined with a 5.5-star energy rating from solar panels and a water tank – rare for a 1971 build. The floorboards and built-in robes reduce immediate refurbishment needs, while the corner positioning offers dual access and potential for future subdivision or a granny flat, subject to council. It best serves a family seeking a quiet, established garden setting with priority enrolment at Macquarie Primary and Canberra High, and who values low ongoing utility costs over a pristine interior. The main risk is the 93-95m² floor area, which is tight for a 3-bedroom house and may limit appeal to downsizers or investors seeking higher rental yield. The 1971 build also carries potential for older wiring or plumbing, though the energy upgrades offset some holding costs. A buyer could negotiate on the basis of the smaller interior versus the land value, then hold for land appreciation or explore a future rear subdivision – the corner block and 10% building coverage make this a logical long-term land bank play.
