The alleged attacker doused him in petrol before he was interrupted by another occupant, prompting him to run off.
Emergency services arrived minutes later, taking the victim to hospital where he remained in a serious but stable condition on Tuesday.
Police alleged the two men knew each other.
The Camira man was arrested near a Morayfield shopping centre about 9.30am on Monday.
He was charged with attempted murder and entering a dwelling with intent to commit a crime.
His case was mentioned in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday, with his next appearance set down for October 13.
