Whether you're looking for your first home, downsizing from the family compound or thinking of investing, this property located right in the Ambrose Treacy precinct of Indooroopilly ticks all the boxes in being cute, comfortable, and chock-full of potential!
Charm and character abound within this home, with original hardwood floors throughout the main level creating a sense of warmth in the design that is beaten only by the literal warmth you will be feeling from the two wood-burning, pot belly fireplaces upstairs and down, perfect for the cooler days that are certainly right over the horizon. With a newly painted exterior, fresh kitchen with modern appliances and plenty of internal space, the home is very much move-in-ready. But, with such excellent bones you also have plenty of opportunity for a refresh or more extensive renovation, starting with the downstairs that is just a kitchenette away from becoming a fully-fledged, standalone granny flat! And on a leafy 685sqm, the opportunity to make the most of an outdoor lifestyle or even add a pool is exceptional.
Meanwhile, the home's location in this small, peaceful enclave of minimal traffic promises everything you could ask for in proximity to schools, parks and public transport while still being peaceful, lush and family friendly. Sprawling parklands await a short 500m walk away at Rainbow Forest Park, while just a little further in the opposite direction you have the very popular Ambrose Treacy College plus buses to high performing catchment Indooroopilly State High meaning you could not find a better place to put down family roots!
