A four-bedroom home at 4 Stuart Street, Capalaba, featuring a 14,000-litre aquarium converted from a former pool beneath the living area, is set to go to auction.
Capalaba Property Held For 17 Years
The Capalaba home has been owned by the same family for 17 years and is now being offered to the market as they prepare to relocate inland.
Set on a 1,720 square metre block at the end of a cul-de-sac, the residence includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Interior features include high ceilings, a fireplace and a kitchen fitted with a walk-in pantry.
Aquarium Built From Existing Pool
A central feature of the Capalaba property is the 14,000-litre aquarium positioned beneath the main living area. The structure was developed after the existing pool on the site was refurbished rather than built over.
The aquarium can be viewed from windows positioned near the kitchen, as well as from a lower viewing area within the home. The layout also allows access for swimming or snorkelling within the tank.
Over the years, the aquarium has housed various marine species, including a wobbegong shark, stingray, lionfish and stonefish. The feature has been described as Brisbane’s largest residential aquarium.
Additional Features Of The Capalaba Home
Beyond the aquarium, the property includes a separate in-ground pool with a slide and an expansive outdoor area. A three-bay shed with three-phase power is also located on the site.
Side access provides space for vehicles, boats, caravans or trailers, while the surrounding garden incorporates plantings inspired by tropical North Queensland.
Auction Scheduled For 21 March
Recent touch-ups have been completed ahead of the sale. The aquarium no longer houses the original fish, though new wildlife has been installed and maintenance information is available for the next owner.
The property is scheduled for auction on-site on Saturday, 21 March at 1:00 p.m., with inspections planned earlier the same day. The sale is being handled by LJ Hooker agents Jimmy Regan and Shane Kelsey.
