A home with history, surprising proportions, and a whole lot of possibility
Behind its traditional weatherboard facade, this Holland Park West home has a few surprises up its sleeve. What begins as a modest street presence unfolds into a wonderfully generous family residence, shaped by years of additions, extensions, and everyday living. With polished hardwood floors, multiple living spaces, an elevated entertaining deck, and a swimming pool tucked into the backyard, the foundations are here for something special. A little imagination, a few personal touches and the next chapter could be its best yet.
Its familiar character sets the scene, with casement windows, a tiled roof and traditional battening beneath the raised home. Established gardens soften the frontage, while a substantial, secure front deck provides a welcoming introduction, complete with coded access and double doors opening into the residence.
Inside, polished hardwood floors bring warmth to the formal lounge and dining areas, offering generous proportions and the flexibility to reimagine these spaces over time. The floorplan reveals its true scale as you move further through the home, where a separate tiled family room and meals area create a relaxed setting for everyday life. The adjoining kitchen, equipped with gas cooking and a dishwasher, is ready for a refresh when the time feels right.
Four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, each with timber flooring and built-in storage, while the master enjoys a walk-in robe and an ensuite. A walk-through family bathroom, reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout the bedrooms and family room, and ceiling fans add practicality to a home that has clearly evolved with its occupants.
A Backyard Worth Staying Home For, A Location Worth Getting Out For
Beyond the interiors, the home opens to a substantial rear entertaining deck, where triple-opening doors invite the outdoors in and an elevated outlook stretches towards the leafy Wellers Hill surrounds. It's an inviting place to gather, with enough room for long lunches, weekend celebrations or simply watching the afternoon unfold.
Below, the gently sloping backyard offers another layer of possibility. A saltwater swimming pool, tiled alfresco and firepit area, secure fencing and room for children and pets create an outdoor setting with plenty to enjoy now and scope to enhance later. Vehicle access to the rear, extensive covered parking and a separate workshop and storage area beneath the home add considerable versatility.
And then there's the location. Positioned in a quiet, no-through street, this established pocket of Holland Park West places Marshall Road State School and Holland Park State High School within walking distance. Local parks, cafes, shopping and only 8min walk to Holland Park West Busway where you can enjoy .50 cent fares to Brisbane CBD in around 20 mins.
Greenslopes Private Hospital, major motorway connections and Brisbane's CBD, approximately 8km away, make everyday life wonderfully convenient.
