This circa 1930 Kelvin Grove cottage is sure to appeal to those who love their homes full of charm and warmth; a truly inviting home that still retains many of its period features with ample room to expand and develop further.

Complete with two double sized bedrooms which open out to a partially enclosed north-east facing verandah, one bathroom, large eat-in kitchen, elegant lounge, formal dining room, front porch with abundant storage space underneath, including enclosed storage, and room for two cars parked tandem undercover, on a lush, leafy 746m2 block; this is the style of home particularly popular with young couples looking for a home with history and soul, along with potential to enlarge as their family grows.

Features such as hardwood polished timber floors, high ceilings, VJ walls, ornate fretwork, French doors, bay window in master bedroom, original windows and the cosy ambience of the home that envelops you on entry, all work in synchronicity to enhance appeal. This property has been well maintained and has elegant decor that complements the era it reflects.

The kitchen is at the rear of the property, and although a bit dated it is equipped with a dishwasher, upright oven with gas cook top; quite a generous size there is definitely space to update and put in additional storage and bench space.

A front porch is an intimate place to sit and enjoy a morning coffee, and there is also a side verandah, currently used as a gym, enclosed with lattice, which could be used as a sleepout/study; or remove the lattice and it’s a wonderful alfresco entertaining deck.

A large garden with plenty of room for a pool and framed by well established vegetation which promotes privacy, is a good size for children to play, and a rear deck could also be built overlooking the garden, which would extend entertaining space.

With so much storage space underneath the home, there’s a lot of opportunity here with some flair and imagination to enlarge, particularly the outdoor/verandah areas without compromising the character of the home.

Located in a quiet, family-friendly street close to major arterial routes, public transport, education facilities, Royal Brisbane Hospital and just minutes to the CBD, Kelvin Grove is an every popular, highly desirable location.
