Held by one owner since it was built in the early 1960s, this charming mid-century home with original features is ready for a new family to build their own memories.
With the living on the upper level, and a five-car lock-up garage plus multi-purpose room below, this solid brick home with stone features has three bedrooms, one bathroom, a large lounge area, separate kitchen and dining, plus a laundry. A spacious balcony overlooking Marchant Park spans the front of the home.
Positioned centrally on the block with its 16.3 metre frontage, there are large grassed front and back yards with plenty of space for children and animals to play. The land is a blank canvas for landscaping to create lush gardens and perhaps installing a pool.
Arrive in the entry foyer with its mosaic tile floor and ascend the stairs into the large main lounge area. The kitchen and dining, with magnificent parquetry timber floors are located off to the left. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated some years ago, and features plenty of bench space and storage.
The upper level of the house, including the three bedrooms, are all carpeted, with hardwood polished timber floors beneath. The bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes with timber veneer doors.
The bathroom has a vanity, shower and spa bath. The toilet is separate. The laundry has access directly to the back yard Hills Hoist, through its stable door onto the concreted back patio.
There are two skylights in the house - one in the hallway, another in the kitchen - to let in additional light. Windows throughout the house are dressed with Venetian blinds plus sheer curtains, and security bars for additional peace of mind. The timber framed full-length sliding glass doors to the front verandah feature sheers plus solid curtains.
Split cycle airconditioning units in the lounge and dining areas keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer.
The location of this home is wonderful, overlooking the massive Marchant Park with its sports grounds as well as extensive walking and bicycling pathways. Westfield Chermside and Chermside Marketplace are a few minutes drive in one direction, and Aspley shopping including the Hypermarket is in the other.
Local schools include Aspley State School, and Aspley East State School, Craigslea State High and Aspley State High, and private schools including St Dympna's and St Paul's. Excellent public transport includes easy access to buses and trains at Zillmere or Geebung stations. The home is located approximately 20 minutes from the centre of Brisbane.
The Prince Charles and Holy Spirit Northside hospitals are close by for healthcare support.
We invite you to attend our next open home inspection and to reach out with any questions in the meantime.
