TURN THIS UGLY DUCKLING INTO A SWAN
This is the ideal project for an enthusiastic renovator. This original Queenslander built in the early 1900s absolutely screams potential. The home is located on Albany Road in the established residential suburb of Hyde park only 5 km from the CBD with all essential services including schools, parks, shopping and hospital all located in the area. The block is a handy 774 m2 in size, is fully fenced and the home has a lovely big back yard for the kids. The house features many sought after period features such as weatherboard exterior, tongue in groove internal walls, wrap around verandas, high ceilings, French doors and timber floors. The layout is very traditional yet functional with two large well proportioned bedrooms in the centre of the home, masses of living space on three sides, spacious kitchen, useable bathroom space, separate w.c. and smaller third bedroom or study. The iron roof has been recently replaced and the wiring has been mostly updated throughout which is one expense the successful buyer will not have to worry about. Perched on original timber stumps, with plenty of room below for parking / storage etc, the home would benefit from being restumped and perhaps raised to legal height and potentially doubling your living space. Internally the house is in need of a total renovation / restoration to bring it back to its former glory. Any improvements done to this house in this desirable location would be money well spent, and the finished product could be something truly spectacular. For sale at little more than land value, and still negotiable, this is a wonderful opportunity for the right buyer.
