For those discerning buyers who crave something different to the typical cookie cutter type homes that are so prevalent now, this could be the perfect antidote! Located on a spacious 809m2 block (that incidentally has great side access for storage of a caravan or jetski etc).
The second that you arrive you know that the house and yard in particular have been lovingly cared for by current owners. With a classical heritage colour palate running throughout, soaring ceilings, beautiful polished floors, original stained glass, stunning fretwork, and charming VJ walls, this is a character home lovers dream. Like most homes of the period (and this one is approx. 90 years old), the verandahs have been closed in to form large sunrooms, and home office areas. The rooms are all well proportioned with original windows. The kitchen is well maintained and is perfectly in keeping the house, and benefits from an additional storage area to the side. The lounge is an inviting place to relax in the evening, whilst the dining area has plenty of space to entertain. In the mornings, the owners love to have their coffee in the sunroom overlooking the garden. The bathroom has been updated and presents beautifully. One of the items that is not of the period, is the zoned ducted Air Conditioning system, but I'm sure that you'll be happy to let that one slide!
Underneath the house there is masses of storage space, so you will have plenty of room for all your toys, tools and camping gear. With a little work and imagination you could really maximise the space. There is a seperate laundry and the benefit of a second toilet.
A huge amount of time and effort has been invested into establishing the gardens but now the hard work means that with you can enjoy the fruits without it being unmanageable. And when I say fruits, I mean there are Tropical Peaches, Mandarins, Tropical Apples, Beach Cherry, Loquat, Kaffir Lime, Coffee, Blueberries, Strawberries, Pawpaw, Lemon, Guava, Oranges, Bananas, Mulberry, Longan, Mango, Cape Plum, Elderberry plus herbs and spices. If you fancy fresh eggs, then you are in luck as the Chook pen is already there too!
Fantastically located approximately 22 km from Brisbane City Centre, with great links to the highway and only minutes from Gailes Train Station. The local shops are a short stroll away and have a fabulous Hardware store that you sadly don't see too much now, a convenience store, Post Office, bakery and more.
Inspections are easy to arrange, so just call John Schlamm @ Ray White on 0421 230 977.
