Life is full of surprises and this home in a little known area of Paddington is one of them. The old adage "Never judge a book by its cover" fits this property to a T. The first surprise is walking through the front door and finding a home that is light and airy and spread across 2 levels. The second surprise is the feeling of privacy and peace. The large established garden with a green bush like backdrop is difficult to reconcile with the fact that the CBD is only 5 kilometres away.
From an original worker's cottage this property has been renovated into an eminently liveable home with plenty of indoor and outdoor living areas. It is an ideal family home including three bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom downstairs, a rumpus cum work room, two living areas, two bathrooms, a separate toilet, a loft, a study, a home office and a teenage retreat or additional guest accommodation. There is ample storage both inside and out. The low maintenance garden has wonderful grassed areas for children and pets, there is a gardening shed, a bike cum tool shed and a dedicated wood shed for the wood burning heater which heats both downstairs and upstairs during the winter months.
The home has been freshly painted throughout and is newly carpeted on the upper level. The solar hot water system provides ample hot water in the summer with a booster available in times of overcast conditions. The oversized carport for one car also has 3 large built in storage cupboards. It is just a short walk to one of Brisbane's best transport routes as well as the Paddington café scene. There are no less than five primary schools within a 2 kilometre radius from the home. The large 850 m² (approx.) block provides ample scope for expansion as does this unparalleled home. Move in and do nothing or live in it while you decide how to put your stamp on this unique property. On the market for the first time since 1975. Inspection is a must.
