Built in 1925, this attractive traditional character cottage with classic bullnose veranda is set on an elevated 438m2 parcel, in the highly sought after Gabba Hill locale. Come through neat, low maintenance gardens onto the porch into a single level living area, complete with lovely period features such as five-inch timber floorboards, 3m high ceilings, VJ walls, breezeways and ornate cornices.
The generous main bedroom has a sizable built-in robe, ceiling fan plus air conditioning. Bedrooms two and three are also a decent size, with ceiling fans and air conditioning, and offer flexibility for children, guest or home office accommodation.
A central living room towards the rear of the home is connected to the dining room, the ideal space to add French doors and build a north facing alfresco retreat in the future should you desire. The combined bathroom/WC features an enamel bath/shower and town gas hot water plus additional separate WC at the rear of the house (a loo with a view).
The tidy functional kitchen has electric appliances and provides access to the elevated north facing juliette balcony, which overlooks the fully fenced and dog/child friendly backyard. This area could easily be extended (SCTA) to an amazing outdoor living/entertaining deck, with its elevated position already capturing city skyline glimpses showcasing Brisbane's Riverfire and the NYE fireworks! Add your personal touches to transform this abode further into even more of a stylish city fringe residence.
The rear of the block is accessed via side access for off-street parking for at least two vehicles. The lower level, whilst largely undeveloped, provides extremely useable and extensive storage space, including undercover hardstand trailer parking and laundry.
Whilst the home itself is perfectly liveable exactly as it is, it offers massive potential to value add. So conveniently located, the marvellous and newly opened Boggo Road Village with IGA supermarket, cafés, bakery, healthcare and specialty shops is just a three-minute walk. Additionally, the mighty Gabba Stadium and Antique precinct, Norman Hotel, Balaclava St shops, and South City Square shopping and entertainment precinct all just a 10 minute stroll.
The Mater, Queensland Children's and the Princess Alexandra hospitals are easily accessible via a short walk, perfect for medicos. Educationally the property is in the highly regarded and sought-after Brisbane South State Secondary College and Dutton Park Primary school catchments, and walk to various childcare centres. University of Queensland is an easy commute, bike or bus ride across the Eleanor Schonell (Green) bridge, as is QUT Gardens Point over the Goodwill Bridge and Griffith Uni South Bank.
Your choice of train, bus and metro, and soon to be completed Cross River Rail, are a two-minute walk to the Boggo Road hub, transporting you to the city, Brisbane Airport and beyond. Vehicle access to north Brisbane (via the Clem Jones Tunnel) and Gold Coast (via M1) is all simple from Albert St. Dust off the scooter or bike as the Veloway (bikeway) connecting South Brisbane to Slacks Creek, is at the end of the street. Access Kangaroo Point cliffs or the South Bank cultural precinct and all it has to offer – restaurants, shopping, weekend markets, museums and galleries.
