Description

For those seeking the true Queenslander experience, this one has it all ... and within walking distance of the CBD! A unique offering, this gorgeous colonial Queenslander boasts a charming ambience that is impossible to replicate. Configured in a way that allows for multi-zone living, due to the segregation of bedrooms and different living spaces, it's an extremely flexible home that could suit many purposes. The house is recently and tastefully painted inside and out, and the beautiful wooden floors have been repolished. Bathrooms and kitchen are renovated, the house is restumped and sound, the garden is shady and easily managed. Just move in and enjoy! A huge covered L-shaped veranda at the front offers a shady retreat after a hard day's work, or perfect place to set up a hammock for lazy Sundays. The main living/dining area boasts an authentic open fireplace, for those cold nights or just for a bit of atmosphere. And we can just see you now, enjoying your coffee and croissants of a morning in the sun-drenched breakfast room. Walk through the office/retreat to the master bedroom with ensuite. The other bedrooms are both large, with bedroom 3 coming off a sleep-out and boasting a lovely bay window. This arrangement is ideal for those seeking an additional workspace. The eat-in kitchen has been tastefully renovated, with ample cupboard and bench space, stainless steel appliances and dishwasher. Out the back you'll find an outstanding feature of this property: a two-storey, fully self-contained weatherboard flat, complete with its own spiral staircase and full-sized bath, and a lovely deck of its own for long breakfasts and evening drinks. This is perfect for a teenage or guest retreat, or could be rented out for additional income. It really is something else! Now, consider this location. You can't beat it! A private, pretty street in fashionable Highgate Hill, a few minutes drive from the CBD and a short walk from the train station and the many attractions of South Bank and the Cultural Precinct. Just around the corner are some of Brisbane's best schools and tertiary institutions. You can even comfortably walk to the CBD or take a long leisurely bike ride along the Brisbane River. This home has been lovingly held for over 20 years. The owner knows it is going to make someone very happy. There are a few ways to look at the opportunity here. From an investment perspective, this is one of those rare inner-city homes that offer strong income combined with high capital growth prospects. Because of the flexible living situations within the house, it can command premium rents. As a young professional, you can comfortably have your own space while getting some help with the mortgage from renting the extra rooms, or just renting out the self-contained apartment out the back. And for those with a large family, this home offers the space to play and get away. Inspection is an absolute must. The owner is realistic and ready to sell.
