Description

* Easy walking distance of the CBD * Circa 1890 * 2 street frontage A unique offering; this gorgeous colonial Queenslander boasts a charming ambience that is impossible to replicate. Requiring significant restoration, an opportunity exists to recreate a very special living space. The inviting front veranda is a great place to start and the perfect spot for a relaxing drink after work, or with your lovely neighbours and friends. There are currently city glimpses, but raise the house, and you will have amazing city views. A classic wide hallway and 12ft ceilings gives this home plenty of breathing space. All three bedrooms are large, with a full height bay window extending from the 2nd bedroom, reminiscent of a bygone era. The master bedroom boasts French doors opening out to the veranda. Another unique character feature is the original open fireplace in the kitchen. Extensive excavation underneath has allowed for ample parking and storage and the home has been completely restumped with concrete stumps. A sloping backyard backs on to Strath St. Other neighbouring homes have built their car accommodation here, which would give you the option to greatly extend the living area underneath the house. Now, consider this location. You cant beat it! A private, pretty street in fashionable Highgate Hill; just around the corner are some of Brisbanes best schools and tertiary institutions. You can even comfortably walk to the CBD or take a long leisurely bike ride along the Brisbane River. You are also a short walk to the train station and the many attractions of South Bank and the Cultural Precinct. This home has been lovingly held for over 20 years. The owner knows it is going to make someone very happy. Inspection is an absolute must. The owner is relocating and ready to sell. Wheelchair access is currently set up, but will be removed if it is not required. *The Sustainabilty Declaration for this property can be obtained from Metro Frist National
