Offering an attractive opportunity for investors, this elevated character property combines traditional Queensland charm with the benefit of two separately leased residences, currently generating a combined rental income of $885 per week. Behind its distinctive facade and white picket fence, the property retains an abundance of original character, including polished timber floors, high ceilings, decorative archways, and beautiful casement windows with coloured glass detailing. Each unit offers its own kitchen, bathroom, and living spaces, providing practical and comfortable accommodation for the residents. Outside, established tropical gardens, lawn areas, and covered off street parking add to the property's appeal. With both residences currently leased into 2027, this is an opportunity to secure immediate rental income while retaining the potential to further enhance the property over time.
