Positioned less than 5 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and within walking distance to lifestyle precincts, parkland, transport and hospitals, this quirky 1930s character Queenslander presents a wonderful opportunity for those looking for a "move in ready" home with plenty of scope to add value.
Built by the Thomson family (Noel and June Thomson), this is one of the original homesteads in Greenslopes and showcases plenty of unique timber features, personally crafted by Noel himself (including the four-poster bed in the second bedroom). Noels workshop remains intact under the home and although not legal height, there is plenty of room including another enclosed room used as an art studio towards the rear.
With potential for renovation, refurbishment or extension, this beloved historic home is perfect for the astute buyer looking to add value. Further to this, the property is extremely habitable as is and perfect for those who admire something a little different.
The home features two spacious bedrooms (the main bedroom comes with a feature bay window). Additional sleep out or study for those looking to work from home. Air-conditioned living / dining area. Functional eat-in kitchen with island bench, perfect for chats or extra bench space. Formal entry area and main bathroom, all complimented by period features including VJ panelling, led light windows, fret work and 12-foot ceilings.
Outside, the fully fenced rear yard is surrounded by established gardens, raised vegetable gardens, fruit trees, a fire pit for winter and shady trees for year-round comfort. Enjoy a cup of tea on the front porch or a glass of wine down the back in your little piece of paradise.
The potential is endless with this one, so grab your builder on speed dial and dont miss the opportunity to purchase this special and much-loved home.
