There are some properties where the house is the story.
29 Alford Street is about the position. You're not simply buying the house. You're buying the position and the opportunity that comes with it.
Elevated in one of Mount Lofty's tightly held eastside streets, this property captures an impressive outlook across Toowoomba and the surrounding landscape. It is the sort of position that is difficult to recreate and opportunities to secure this combination of elevation, outlook and orientation are exceptionally limited. And that's what makes this property different.
The existing home gives you options. Renovate and work with what is already here, undertake a more substantial transformation, or consider what could ultimately be created through a future rebuild.
The existing character home combines an original bungalow at the front with a later extension at the rear. Across two levels there are four bedrooms, three separate living areas, two bathrooms and a large kitchen and dining area. Downstairs, the original section retains its character with a wide front verandah, timber fretwork and a wood-burning fireplace. Two bedrooms, a bathroom and living room occupy this level, while the extension provides the kitchen and generous dining space.
Upstairs, the main bedroom and second bedroom are accompanied by their own family room and bathroom, with the elevated position again capturing the outlook. Outside, the north-east facing backyard provides an established setting with a covered entertaining area and substantial 6.4m x 11m in-ground swimming pool.
For the buyer looking for a renovation project, there is plenty to work with. For someone looking further ahead, the combination of land, elevation, north-east orientation and outlook provides something much harder to find, a property where the future can be shaped around the position.
Located within easy reach of Downlands College, Fairholme College, Toowoomba Anglican School, Toowoomba State High School and East Toowoomba State School, 29 Alford Street sits within one of Toowoomba's established eastside precincts.
Currently leased until October 2026, the property also provides holding income while you consider your plans.
