No flowery, emotive text required here. This is a 100%, bona fide, outstanding opportunity to create the home you have been dreaming of. Whether you knock-down and rebuild or renovate to incorporate the charming character features of this 1950's-built cottage is up to you but when you have a block that is mostly flat (especially by Chapel Hill standards), a quiet street and an exceptionally convenient location, you know this is finally the opportunity you have been holding out for all year!
THE BLOCK
• 607 sqm, rectangular block;
• 13.8m frontage;
• Slight slope to the front and flat to the rear … one of the easiest blocks for building in Chapel Hill!
• This property is going to auction allowing all buyers intending a knock-down-rebuild project to invite builders to visit the property (all access to property on request) and complete all necessary site surveys.
THE HOUSE
• 1950's (estimated) cottage in mostly original condition including timber floors, decorative cornices and timber framed glass doors and windows;
• Large open plan living / dining;
• Bathroom with original terrazzo floors;
• 3 interconnecting bedrooms to the rear;
• Let's be honest, the kitchen is fairly rudimentary in that it contains a sink and a freestanding oven / stove but given that you are going to renovate anyway, I think that saves you the job of removing the existing kitchen!
• Under the house, 2/3 is already over the 2.4m legal height and ready to build in although given that the home is built on stumps, the opportunity is there to raise the whole house and create a double story home front to back.
THE LOCATION
• Quiet but extremely convenient location just metres from Akuna parkland - specifically the children's playground, fitness equipment, footpath and bikeway (connects to bikeway to CBD);
• Take a short walk for a drink or dinner at Kenmore Tavern just a 500m stroll or other nearby restaurants and coffee shops;
• Kenmore Plaza complete with Woolworths, Aldi and specialty shops plus other shops, services, medical centres and vet are also within a 750m radius;
• In fact, why not just get rid of the car … multiple and very regular buses to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, CBD and UQ are also easily accessed on Moggill Road;
• Within catchment for high ranking Kenmore High and Indooroopilly State School;
• An abundance of excellent state and private schools are within a 5-20 minute drive including BBC, St Peters, Brigidine and Ambrose Treacy College. Private buses are also easily accessible for private schools further afield;
• A location combining lifestyle with so many amenities right on the doorstep really doesn't come much better than this!
