Homes like this are incredibly hard to find - a charming character cottage offering independence, warmth and future potential. Beautifully restored and positioned on its own 153sqm block, this residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a standalone home with no body corporate, providing a compelling alternative to apartment living with the privacy and character only a home of this style can offer.
From the moment you arrive, the home's charm is unmistakable. Traditional awnings, breezeways, French doors and VJ walls set the tone, while timber floors, high ceilings and beautiful natural light enhance the warmth and character throughout.
The kitchen features stone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry and gas cooking, and flows through the adjoining living space out to a private deck enclosed by white shutters - creating a wonderful space for relaxed entertaining.
The bathroom has been tastefully updated, featuring a full-sized bathtub, modern vanity and beautiful natural light from the traditional window, maintaining the home's character while offering everyday comfort. Accommodation includes two generous bedrooms, each with mirrored built-in robes, with air-conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.
An exciting additional feature is that the home has already been raised to legal height, currently housing an oversized double car garage combined with laundry and storage space, while also presenting potential for future expansion underneath - subject to the appropriate council approval.
The lifestyle on offer here is just as appealing as the home itself. Positioned in a quiet pocket of Northgate, you're only 150 metres to bus transport and around 200 metres to Northgate station, making the commute into the city effortless.
At the end of the street, you'll also find direct access to parklands leading through to Northgate Reserve and the popular off-leash dog park. When it's time for coffee, dining or a bit of shopping, Nundah Village is only minutes away, while the airport and access to the Southern Cross Way are within easy reach.
For young professionals, downsizers or investors, this home presents a rare opportunity - a charming character cottage offering independence, lifestyle convenience and future potential, all within one of Brisbane's increasingly sought-after inner-north locations.
We look forward to welcoming you to 14 Olivia Street, Northgate.
