What's around 8 Clarissa St

Character, Charm & Endless Potential in a Convenient Location + 4.96% Gross Rental Return

Steeped in character and rich in history, this relocated early-1900s home offers the timeless appeal of a bygone era combined with the comfort and convenience of modern living. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this charming residence is the perfect opportunity for first home buyers, downsizers or savvy investors looking to secure a home on its own freehold title without the ongoing expense of body corporate fees. Inside, you'll immediately appreciate the classic features that make homes of this era so sought after, including soaring 3-metre ceilings and the warmth of mostly original VJ walls throughout. The spacious air-conditioned living area provides a comfortable place to relax, while the renovated modern kitchen offers plenty of functionality for everyday living. The home features three generous bedrooms, with the master suite offering a large walk-in robe and private ensuite. Adding even greater versatility, the master bedroom enjoys its own separate entrance from the front deck, making it an ideal home office, consulting room or small business space where clients can conveniently access the ensuite without entering the remainder of the home. The main bathroom is generously sized and includes a shower over bath, while the upstairs laundry is conveniently positioned in the hallway. There is also an exciting opportunity for the new owner to further enhance the home's value. Updating the bathroom finishes and installing your choice of new flooring-whether floating timber-look flooring, tiles or carpet-will allow you to personalise the home to suit your own style while adding your own finishing touches. Outside, the easy-care 357m² allotment offers all the benefits of owning your own land without spending every weekend maintaining a large yard. It's the perfect balance for those wanting the long-term capital growth of freehold property while enjoying a low-maintenance lifestyle. A single lock-up garage with an automatic door provides secure parking, while the mezzanine storage area is ideal for camping gear, Christmas decorations, sporting equipment or all those extra items that are difficult to store inside the home. If you wanted extra space for another car or even a campervan, you could remove the current garage structure or extend on the existing. The location is equally impressive, with direct access to the popular Black Gully Reserve, where you'll enjoy walking trails, a Disc Golf course, an off-leash dog area, a dog park and outdoor fitness equipment. St Andrew's Hospital is just a short stroll away, while several schools, shopping centres and everyday conveniences are only minutes from your doorstep. Whether you're searching for your first home, looking to downsize without compromising on character, seeking a home business opportunity, or wanting to add a quality investment to your portfolio, this unique property delivers exceptional flexibility, lifestyle and future potential. Features include: • Renovated modern kitchen with gas cooktop, electric oven, canopy rangehood, dishwasher, pantry, wide cavity for fridge, fixed island bench with power on one end & lots of storage. • The house has been recently painted internally • Bedrooms with carpets • Smoke alarms updated to code • Fan on the ceiling in the main bedroom • Aluminium sliding windows with flyscreens on the majority • Paved area downstairs ideal for entertaining • 2x gas bottles for Instantaneous how water & cooktop • Convenient upstairs laundry & linen storage adjacent • Minutes to schools and shopping centres • Currently leased until 28/07/2026 for $480 per week; however, the rent is appraised at $600 per week, which is a 4.96% gross rental return • Land rates $1,341.01 & water connection $377.40 (both per 6mth period) Call Scott to arrange a private inspection, or look out for advertised open houses. Disclaimer: Toowoomba today is hydraulically a completely different city than it was in 2011. The Council invested tens of millions of dollars into detention basins and channel widening, specifically designed to control major rain events. The green space next to this property is a deliberate part of that modern engineering; it's designed to act as the buffer, keeping the water exactly where it belongs and completely away from the residential footprint." So the property sits in a "Vulnerable Use Restriction Area", NOT in a flood zone as such. I can forward you a report to put your mind at ease, or simply go to the council website
