This characterful and comfortable home has been transformed back to and beyond its original glory by fastidious current owners. Once known as Stanley Villa, it is one of the street’s original homesteads. Over the years it has stood the test of time and along with contemporary additions, still includes many original features.

THE LOCATION
Positioned on a corner block there is plenty of privacy and no neighbours to the east to block the awesome sea breezes. A 10-15 min stroll or 3 minute drive will have you at the waterfront, and there are multiple shopping options less than 5 minutes away. Frank Street is also located in the school catchment areas for Scarborough State Primary, Southern Cross Catholic College offering prep to year 12, and Redcliffe High.

THE GARDEN
While making full use of the 452m2 block, the gardens have been designed for a beginner or sometimes gardener with loads of established herbs, fruit trees and easy-care flowering plants. Three water tanks, including a 4000L underground tank, feed an irrigation system. There’s a huge compost bay and a chook house as well as heaps of no-fuss edibles and vegetables already growing. A comprehensive list can be obtained on inspection of the home.

WHY YOU NEED TO SEE IT
This home is a real hidden gem. A drive-by does not suffice for this one and photos cannot fully portray the true character of the home.
Currently it is home to a family of four (including Sam the dog) but would also be ideal for the young couple with entertaining in mind, or retirees ready to downsize but not ready for unit living.

Expressions of interest from serious buyers are encouraged and private inspections are welcomed.
