Beatrice has adored her time at 66 Coventry Street, however after 46 happy years she has officially moved out and provided me with extremely clear instructions - to sell her beloved family home.
Set high and mighty on an elevated 688sqm block is the crowd-pleasing character- oozing Queenslander in the heart of Hawthorne.
Times change, but a mix of soaring VJ's, lofty ceilings and robust pine floorboards remain made for each other and forever timeless.
Packed full of history, the lovingly preserved original home - headlined by two formal bedrooms, numerous sleep-out's, an updated kitchen and bathroom along with a formal dining and covered deck - is a timeless reminder of just how special the Queenslander really is.
So much praise must then go to the current owner for the way the property has been lovingly looked after since 1972. However, it's now vacant and officially time for one lucky purchaser to come in and add their own personal touch to a genuine piece of Hawthorne history.
Your kitchen with gas cooking and plenty of cupboard space. Your bathroom with its very own bath tub and separate shower. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. As for that master bedroom, its walk-in robe is expected, but an opportunity to input an ensuite right away in the shouldering "powder room" is a big and a beautiful surprise. Downstairs, equipped with so much potential you'll have to see for yourself.
Rich with happy memories, imagine converting the existing dwelling into something seriously special. For example, raising up and building in underneath STCA to create the dream 5 bedroom Hawthorne home. An artist's impression has been done for a reason, however don't let it pigeon hole you into just the one concept…this home has many fairy-tale endings.
The backyard being as flat as it is, believe it or not was once a tennis court where neighbours would enjoy swinging the racquet. See yourself putting a pool in right away, or simply leaving it as is for the active pet and young child to roam free.
The current owners have set extremely realistic expectations and have reassured me that the property will be sold at auction if not sold prior. Don't miss this opportunity to capitalise on an enormous block in one of the premiere streets of uptown Hawthorne. Contact Patrick Ivey today for more information.
