After all, they know the home so much better than I.
"Our first impression of 42 Hansen Street was of a very neat, renovated old Queenslander that looked great from the street due to its bay windows, attractive paint job, front deck and shrubbed garden.
The location of the property is ideal - it is close and has easy access to the CBD, major transport links (buses, trains and even the Eleanor Schonnell Bridge), several major hospitals and universities. Despite this it is a very quiet street with little through traffic.
We were struck by the beautiful hardwood timber floors throughout - they look great and are very practical.
The lounge, bedrooms and bathroom are all quite large and the bay window gives the main bedroom extra character.
The kitchen is great - its size is a real bonus (it actually had a dining room table in it when we first viewed the house), it has nice timber features and lots of storage space.
The big windows of the kitchen make it bright and airy, and opening out onto the deck make it ideal for entertaining.
The two decks, front and back were also very impressive - also idea for entertaining and give the Authentic 'Queenslander feel'.
There is a large, fully fenced yard and plenty of room under the house for storage. The single lock up garage is also important.
A major appeal for us was the fact that this house needs no work - you could live in it and enjoy it just the way it is.
However, there is also significant potential for future improvement by building in underneath and modernising the bathroom'.
