*** THE FIRST OPEN HOME - PROPERTY LAUNCH - SATURDAY 27th JUNE 2026 @ 11.30am - 12.15pm
Every now and then, a property comes to market that is not simply about the house you see today, but about the location, the land, the history, the lifestyle and the future you can create from here. 18 O'Connell Street, Redcliffe is exactly that kind of opportunity.
This is a property for the buyer who sees potential. The first home buyer who wants to secure a coastal address and improve a home over time AND get into the market at the entry level. The renovator who understands value. The builder, tradie or project-minded buyer who can see what this highset 1976 home could become. Or the buyer with the vision and resources to remove the existing home and create a brand-new coastal residence designed entirely around their own lifestyle.
This is not a dressed-up renovation. This is not a quick cosmetic makeover hiding behind fresh paint and new flooring. This is an honest, original, one-owner home being offered exactly as it stands.And that is part of its strength.
Built by the current owner in 1976, this home has never been sold, never been rented, and never been passed from one owner to another. It has simply been home. Generations of family have grown up here. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have all been part of the story of this property. For almost 50 years, this address has held family memories, everyday life, celebrations, milestones and the quiet comfort of a stable, much-loved home.
The owner is now ready for his next chapter. While he is sad to leave his friends, neighbours and the memories attached to this home, he is also excited to relocate into a new family home environment surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The end of one beautiful chapter now becomes the beginning of a new and exciting journey for the next owner.
The home itself is original, dated and ready for attention, but it is also perfectly liveable and comfortable as it is. Yes, it needs a facelift. Yes, it needs TLC. Yes, it offers obvious renovation potential. But that does not make it daunting. It makes it exciting.
This is the type of home you can move into, take your time with, and improve properly. You do not need to do everything at once. You can live here while you plan. You can renovate in stages. You can modernise as your budget allows. You can slowly transform a solid original home into something fresh, functional and valuable.
Homes of this era were built differently. The structure, the construction methods, the practical design and the workmanship were from a time when houses were built to last. This home has stood through every season, every storm period and every major weather event since 1976, and importantly, the property has never flooded in that time. For buyers in Southeast Queensland, that history matters.
Inside, the home offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate toilet, and an open plan family and dining area with clear separation between the lounge and dining zones. The dining area sits directly off the kitchen, making everyday meals simple and practical. The kitchen is original, straightforward and functional, ready to be used now or redesigned in the future.
Downstairs is where the opportunity becomes even more exciting. The lower level provides a huge concrete storage, laundry, utility and workshop area, with approximately the same footprint as upstairs. It is ideal for tools, trade equipment, hobby projects, bikes, fishing gear, camping equipment, surfboards, kayaks, storage, workshop use and general family overflow.
Most importantly, the lower level is legal height, creating genuine future potential to build in underneath and create a much larger two-level home, subject to council approvals and the buyer's own investigations. The existing concrete lower level gives the next owner a strong foundation to work from, whether the goal is more living space, additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, dual living-style utility or a major renovation project.
Vehicle accommodation is practical, with a single lock-up garage, an undercover carport suitable for two or more off-street vehicles, and room at the front to further enhance parking if desired. For buyers with a boat, caravan, trailer, work vehicle or additional family cars, the property offers flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in this price range.
The backyard is generous, usable and full of possibility. For those wanting to renovate and retain the existing home, there is room to improve, landscape, entertain and enjoy. For those considering a full removal and rebuild, the 405m² parcel offers the chance to design a substantial two-level coastal home with room for a pool, boat or caravan parking, outdoor entertaining and a home that reflects your own style, taste and future lifestyle.
As a land buy, this is where the long-term value becomes impossible to ignore.Redcliffe is a coastal suburb with finite land supply, established infrastructure and enduring buyer demand. You cannot create more land this close to water, beaches, schools, transport, medical facilities, shopping, parks, clubs and lifestyle attractions. That is why properties like this should not be overlooked.
As of June 2026, the median house price for Redcliffe 4020 is sitting around the $1 million mark. When a property becomes available in this median price range, in this type of coastal location, on a usable parcel of land, with a liveable home already in place, it is your lucky day.Buying 18 O'Connell Street today is not just about what the property is now. It is about what it can become tomorrow.
The street itself is one of the hidden treasures of this property. O'Connell Street is a quiet cul-de-sac, meaning only you and your neighbours have a reason to travel through. There is no constant passing traffic, no busy road energy and no feeling of being exposed. It is private, residential, settled and comfortable.
This is a street of long-term neighbours, friendly homeowners and families who genuinely care about where they live. It is the kind of neighbourhood where retired residents, working families and children all blend naturally together. It is the kind of place where children can safely play cricket in the street, where neighbours look out for one another, and where people tend to stay because the location and lifestyle are so easy to love.
And then there is Redcliffe. This is where the real lifestyle story begins.
Redcliffe is one of Moreton Bay's most loved coastal communities, offering the rare combination of beachside living, everyday convenience, family infrastructure and genuine long-term property value. From 18 O'Connell Street, you are positioned to enjoy the very best of the Peninsula lifestyle.
Suttons Beach, Margate Beach, Queens Beach, Scarborough, the Redcliffe foreshore, Redcliffe Jetty and the waterfront walking and cycling paths are all part of your local everyday environment. Morning walks, weekend swims, fish and chips by the water, sunset drives, coffee by the bay and relaxed family afternoons are not holiday activities here - they are part of local life.
Settlement Cove Lagoon, often described by locals as Redcliffe's own Southbank-style swimming lagoon, is a major family attraction with free public swimming, picnic areas, barbecues, children's pool areas, playgrounds and a resort-style coastal atmosphere. It is one of the most recognised lifestyle assets on the Peninsula and a huge drawcard for families.
Redcliffe Jetty remains one of the area's most iconic meeting places, surrounded by cafés, restaurants, weekend markets, waterfront activity and the kind of relaxed coastal energy buyers move to Redcliffe to enjoy. Bee Gees Way, the Redcliffe Museum, Redcliffe Botanic Gardens, the Redcliffe Showgrounds, foreshore parks, playgrounds and open green spaces all add to the lifestyle appeal.
For those who love boating, fishing, island day trips and outdoor adventure, Moreton Bay is your playground. From the broader Brisbane and Moreton Bay region, ferry and barge services provide access to Moreton Island and Tangalooma, where you can enjoy dolphin experiences, snorkelling the famous wrecks, whale watching, fishing, diving, sand tobogganing, camping, beach driving, island resort dining and some of Southeast Queensland's most beautiful coastal wilderness.
Education is also well covered. The property is within reach of Scarborough State School and Redcliffe State High School, with other respected local options including Humpybong State School, Southern Cross Catholic College, Mueller College, Grace Lutheran College, childcare centres and TAFE Queensland Redcliffe.
Medical and public services are another major strength of this location. Redcliffe Hospital, Peninsula Private Hospital, local GP clinics, specialist medical services, allied health providers, pharmacies, the Redcliffe Library, government services, community facilities and council amenities are all part of the established infrastructure that makes this location practical for every stage of life.
Shopping is exceptionally convenient, with Peninsula Fair, Bluewater Square, Kippa-Ring Shopping Centre, local Redcliffe retail, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, Bunnings, Westfield North Lakes, Costco North Lakes and larger surrounding retail precincts all within easy reach.
Sport and community are deeply connected to Redcliffe's identity. The Dolphins remain one of the strongest names in Queensland rugby league, with Redcliffe Leagues Club, Dolphins' facilities and Kayo Stadium continuing to anchor the area's sporting and social culture. Local clubs, golf, tennis, aquatic facilities, gyms, sporting fields, boating, fishing, walking paths and outdoor recreation all add to the appeal.
Transport is another major advantage. Kippa-Ring Train Station provides direct rail connection toward Brisbane, while road access makes commuting practical. Brisbane Airport is approximately 30 minutes away, Brisbane CBD is generally around 40 to 50 minutes by car depending on traffic, and Bribie Island is approximately 35 to 45 minutes north, giving you easy access to another of Southeast Queensland's treasured coastal destinations.
This is coastal living without being cut off.It is family living without sacrificing convenience.It is a renovation opportunity without losing lifestyle.It is a land-value purchase with a liveable home attached.And that is the point. 18 O'Connell Street is not being presented as perfect. It is being presented as honest, original, solid, liveable and full of future potential.
The property is being sold AS IS. Buyers are encouraged to undertake their own due diligence, and we recommend that all prospective buyers obtain a building and pest inspection report prior to submitting an offer of purchase.
For the buyer who wants a flawless new home with nothing to do, this may not be the one. But for the buyer who understands land, location, construction quality, renovation potential and long-term value, this is exactly the kind of property that can set you up for tomorrow.Move in and renovate over time.
**Modernise and add value.**Build in underneath and create a substantial two-level home.**Remove and rebuild your dream coastal residence.**Land bank in one of Moreton Bay's most tightly held coastal communities.
