If you aspire to live or invest in a blue chip New Farm location, this two-level house on 600m with 20-metre frontage represents the perfect chance to stake your claim, while also offering considerable scope for future development.
Located just a short walk from beautiful New Farm Park, you can move straight in to the large, extended house and immediately enjoy the many lifestyle benefits New Farm offers, or call your architect and transform it into the luxury home befitting such a location.
Although within a Demolition Control Precinct, significant alterations made to the gabled 1920s Queenslander over the years may make it eligible for removal from the block, allowing you to start afresh.
You need only look across the street to see the calibre of homes already being built in this lovely neighbourhood.
If you’re in no hurry, the current house offers a functional and comfortable place to call home for many years while you plan how to best capitalise on the position. Alternatively, it would attract a substantial income as a family or student rental until you are ready to build.
And while the home itself may not be a palace, it’s proportions are definitely palatial, offering seven bedrooms plus an office and a study, two bathrooms, ensuite, and two separate living areas one on the upper level and one on the lower.
It would definitely provide a very versatile home for a big or extended family, with an array of options for keeping children entertained, as well as accommodating their needs through the various living areas.
The home has a substantial chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances including a stand-alone six-burner, cook top and oven, and neat, modern bathrooms.
The interior is mostly painted in fresh white, with polished timber flooring upstairs and serviceable polished concrete floors in the main living and dining area, which is on ground level adjacent to the kitchen.
Some original features have been retained in the original part of the house, with a few rooms in the upper level featuring VJs, pressed metal ceilings and even ornate art deco picture rails in the central family/rumpus room.
Outside is a world of entertainment for children of all ages from the massive, covered outdoor entertaining area to the swimming pool replete with full shade sail, slippery slide and f lying fox over, and the grassed yard with plenty of room for a swing set and trampoline.
For the car enthusiast or tradesman, you’ll never be short of space with a huge 6 x 3 metre work shed, a separate two-car garage plus off-street parking for an additional two vehicles.
From your front door, it’s only a five minute walk or a one minute drive to Merthyr Village home to the renowned New Farm Deli and Coles and not much further to the exclusive shopping and dining precincts of Brunswick and James Streets, while only 2km away by bicycle, car or City Cat is the CBD.
And for those leisurely Saturday mornings, the trendy Cafe Bouquiniste is literally at the end of your street.
With so little properties available in blue chip New Farm locations, let alone ones with so many options, this home will attract a serious amount of attention. Be sure to inspect soon and realise your aspirations today.
