Character Home Opposite Booval Fair, With Room to Grow

Opportunities like 73 South Station Road don’t come up often. This 1930s character home sits on a 506sqm block directly opposite Booval Fair, in one of Ipswich’s most established and best connected pockets.

Inside you’ll find three bedrooms and one bathroom, with solar already on the roof to help keep running costs down. It’s a genuine opportunity for first home buyers to get a foot in the door, investors to secure a well located rental, or anyone who wants to put their own stamp on a home with history.

The location does the heavy lifting. Woolworths, Big W and a full line up of specialty retail, cafes and services are right across the road. Booval Railway Station is a short walk along South Station Road, giving you a direct run into Brisbane on the Ipswich and Rosewood line, and buses run past the door. Ipswich CBD, Riverlink and Ipswich Hospital are all within roughly three kilometres. This is a home where you can leave the car in the driveway.

The upside is what sets this one apart. The land is zoned Medium Density Residential under the Ipswich City Plan 2025, with an MD3 density code and a building height allowance of 3 to 5 storeys, subject to council approval. Buy now, live in it or rent it out, and hold land that carries real future potential as Ipswich keeps growing.
