The opportunity now exists for the astute buyer to acquire this classical example of Federation style architecture resting on an all-usable, elevated 1280 square metre block. Completed in 1902, this homes tangible historical connections and irreplaceable charm are immediately evident at first glance, exuding a commanding street presence.
The successful purchaser will value not only the inherent nostalgia, but will appreciate the potential in a property of this calibre... the appropriate refurbishment will see not only another 110 years of graceful existence, but also the commensurate and handsome increase in value.
The formal layout adheres to Federation style edicts... Central verandah entrance opens to wide hallway. Large, high ceilinged bedrooms either side, ventilated via full height weighted double-hung windows. Further in, the spacious living/ lounge sits opposite the third bedroom, with matching sleep-outs either side of the home, and two bathrooms. A wide transverse enclosed space (the original back verandah) accommodates a kitchenette, and separates the front section of the home from the large kitchen and dining room with attendant rear covered verandah at the rear. The aspect from here is a most favorable north to north-easterly, with the Brisbane CBD visible five kilometres away.
Downstairs, accessible internally, is a huge lockable concreted space literally the footprint of the living area above, comprising copious separate storage spaces, a third toilet and room to park three cars, four at a pinch. There's also a big separate lockable storage space under the kitchen.
Given this property's ideal location, all imaginable amenities are within easy reach... shopping, healthcare, schools of all levels. Taringa Train Station is an easy walk, and the University of Queensland is less than 3.5km away.
Not ready to renovate yet? Consider then the opportunity to move in as is, or lease out the property at a potential five bedrooms while you assess your alternatives.
Needless to say, properties with this degree of historical presence and imminent potential are rare offerings indeed.
