Offering an ultra-rare triple street frontage, totalling more than 70m across Kellett Street, Dart Street and Isabel Lane, this delightful Queensland character home has been cherished for more than three decades, but is now offered to the market giving you the chance to make it your own and create memories with your family for years to come.
Over two sprawling levels, the house features all the character and charm that people still long for after well over a century. White picket fences, manicured grounds and a wraparound verandah create an alluring street appeal, while inside the home you'll find extra-high ceilings, breezeways, VJ wall paneling, an extra-wide central hallway and weight-and-pulley sash windows.
The upper level, just two steps up from the front entry, is climate-controlled via ducted air-conditioning and houses the master bedroom with walk-through robe and modern ensuite. A sprawling lounge/dining opens out onto the wraparound verandah via two sets of French doors, complete with Crimsafe. Updated in 2019, the beautiful, country-style kitchen will delight with its functionality and finishes, including a 6-burner Bosch stovetop, 40mm stone bench tops and a striking island bench with a chequered, 100mm solid timber top. The kitchen connects with a family meals room, which links to both a home office (or optional fifth bedroom) and a covered back deck, offering a leafy district outlook. Double-hung windows allow the natural breezes at this elevation to permeate through the home. Carpeted throughout, it provides the future owner an exciting opportunity to rip them up and restore the classic timber floorboard aesthetic these homes are known for.
Downstairs, built in during the 80's, you'll find a generous, air-conditioned family room with French doors opening out onto a covered, wraparound patio. It also hosts a second kitchen, the main bathroom, a large laundry and three bedrooms. The combination of brick and carpet provides a cosy environment for those special moments with family.
The flat, manicured rear yard is low maintenance, with a magnificent Poinciana providing plenty of shade and resplendence when in bloom. A double carport, accessed from Dart Street, has covered access to the home and there's a rear shed accessed from Isabel Lane (though it's seen better days!). The 607sqm block is comprised of 2 lots and is generous without demanding too much of your time for upkeep.
Set amongst tree-lined streets and a plethora of other Queensland character homes, you'll enjoy peace and privacy in excellent company here. The home is just 3km from the CBD, a 500m stroll from Auchenflower Station, with The Wesley Hospital just a touch further, and the easiest of drives to Rosalie Village and Toowong Village. It has excellent access to Universities, with QUT Kelvin Grove just over a 3km drive, a 4km commute to The University of Queensland and just over 4km to QUT Garden's Point. It also sits in the Toowong State School and Indooroopilly State High catchments.
It's difficult to overstate the benefits of multiple street frontage - it affords you incredible options for improving and reconfiguring the property. The ease-of-access for pool installation will please your wallet. Extensions are that much simpler and a new driveway and garage location should also be a breeze (STCA) if desired. It truly is an exceptionally rare offering in a sensational location. Currently owner-occupied, the sale will be with vacant possession.
