Displaying all the romance & charm of classic heritage architecture, this well-preserved & enhanced Queenslander is a property with the key elements of location, character, convenience & lifestyle that have helped create one of Brisbane’s most sought after inner city ring localities.
Those with sound financial sense will recognise this warm & very inviting residence as both a solid lifestyle investment & a viable economic entry point into upmarket Kelvin Grove – a suburb that has benefited from investor demand & a healthy rental market. Its investment appeal is further enhanced by the potential for future expansion & renovation.
The spacious 196sqm floorplan incorporates 3 generously sized bedrooms, modern bathroom & undercover car accommodation.
The sub-floor area of the property houses a car space, WC, laundry & storage. The area also provides a number of different development opportunities (subject to Council approval). Architectural drawings can be viewed at the end of the photos.
At under 3kms from the GPO on a manageable 304sqm block, it is both a convenient city fringe base & a tranquil retreat for the family.
One of the home’s greatest strengths is its focus on enjoyment of the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that so suits Brisbane’s climate. From its elevated position, a delightfully charming front verandah connects with the interior’s open plan layout that merges into a full-width private rear deck – a perfect environment to relax & entertain in spacious comfort.
The warmly attractive interior - a showcase of heritage features - integrates the rich patina of polished hardwood flooring & VJ paneling in traditional colours.
THE LOCATION
The property has an elevated position in a quiet character-filled street - a treasured part of Brisbane’s inner suburban landscape. The street is overwhelmingly made up of other colonial cottages & classic Queenslanders.
Kelvin Grove is a friendly, lively & upbeat suburb under the 3kms from the CBD. It is the undulating terrain & fine examples of domestic Victorian & Edwardian architecture frequently surrounded by beautiful sub-tropical gardens that give the area its unique character.
It is close to all amenities including some of Brisbane's best cafes, restaurants, art galleries & fashion boutiques. The Kelvin Grove Urban Village & Newmarket shopping centre is within walking distance providing a range of specialty shops, supermarkets & professional services.
The suburb has attracted renewed interest during the past 2 decades & much of the captivating character of the area has been retained through renovation of workers’ cottages, Queenslanders & colonials. Such renovating of older style homes has contributed to the higher median sale price. In addition many of the newer houses have been designed to be sympathetic with the local urban fabric.
Kelvin Grove is popular with young owner-occupier professionals working in the CBD & has benefited well from investor interest. It has a healthy rental market based on young city workers & students.
