There's no way to beat around the bush here; this old girl checked out a long time ago. It's the first time she's been up for sale in 35 years, and everything inside is like a timewarp - a throwback to the 70's.
From the dizzying carpets to the wallpapered kitchen, retro might be back, but probably not quite this far. The truth is, this old girl is ready for a complete overhaul, and we're giving it to you straight.
The good news, however, is while cosmetically this home needs a whole makeover, it's saving grace has to be its location. A 610m2 gently sloping corner block, in walking distance to local shops, TAFE, transport and so much more. The bustling suburb of Mt Gravatt East continues to outperform its neighbours, and it's easy to see why; with an abundance of fantastic parks, a great café scene and just 10km to the city, it's central location is also close to Westfield Carindale, Westfield Garden City and Greenslopes Private Hospital.
The bones of this home are also excellent. The brick and tile construction are as solid now as they were in the early '70s, with a single lock up garage, fully fenced block and large rooms, you can definitely update the existing home, if a teardown and rebuild is not for you.
Inside, three good sized bedrooms (2 with built-ins) share the family bathroom. With shower and separate bathtub, it's certainly big enough to accommodate a busy family.
The main living/dining is open plan and a great size. Once you stop marvelling at the stunning carpet, you can see with a little work; you'll have a bright and airy space to entertain here. The kitchen may also require sunglasses, but with such a great size, a modern family kitchen can be installed, perhaps with removing a wall to open to the living space.
Sliding doors already lead on to the patio, so indoor/outdoor living, and watching the kids run around the gardens will be set to go from day 1. The laundry is inside the single lock up garage with internal entry, and also has direct access to the garden.
We're hiding nothing with this one - she is not a pretty lady anymore, but whether you want to renovate or detonate, look past the cosmetic flaws, and you will see a fantastic opportunity in a very much sought after location.
