Here is your rare chance to purchase an ex-display home from the original owners! Let me clarify that it was a Display Home in 1964 but we still retain those bragging rights and hopefully the lucky new owners can transform her into a modern wonderment where visitors ooh and aah at all the awesomeness like they did way back when. This old girl has seen a lifetime of love, memories, sad times, good times and hopefully a carpet salesperson who got sacked after this job! Good news is you can roll up the retro shagpile carpet, introduce it to a bonfire and polish up some nice timber boards found hidden beneath this time capsule.
The colorbond roof was updated in approx 2019 and she still sits nicely on her concrete stumps, with dual driveways providing easy access into the low maintenance 596m2 fully fenced and flood free corner block. 1 driveway is perfect to park the caravan/trailer or tinny on whilst the other leads thru 2 single carports and arrives at the double shed which is the perfect place to tinker in or house the project or show car. A double size garden shed is found alongside the home as is a good ol Aussie Mango tree.
A rear deck runs almost the full width of the home and accesses the home via glass sliding doors leading out from the separate dining space or thru the former separate laundry which was re-located into a garden shed close to the rear deck. Fear not as you could easily 'unre-locate' the laundry back into its original position or utilise the now vacant space within the home for a kitchen or bathroom extension maybe.
The kitchen is right out of a 1964 edition of Better Homes and Gardens magazine and I'm sure it looks better in person than in black & white print. Air conditioning does pump thru the kitchen as well as the good size lounge room and separate dining space thanks to technological advances in the 1990's. An enclosed front sunroom is the perfect kids play zone or computer work space and back in the day was the place to watch and lip read movies for free thanks to the Drive-in theatre that used to sit across the road. Half of Ipswich was probably conceived at that Drive-in theatre but not much of that goes on now since it has long been home to Cascade Gardens Retirement Village. Hopefully.
All 3 good sized bedrooms are tucked away at one end of the home as is the hallway built in linen cupboard and the original bathroom...besides a non original vanity basin upgrade!
This location is handy to plenty with shopping centres, school, day care facility, medical, dental, tavern, takeaway shops all found close by. You may need some Hardware Store visits so thankfully there is also one nearby. The Ipswich CBD, Uni, Medical Precinct and Hospital are also close by whilst bus stops and a parkland are literally just a few steps from the front door.
