FAMILY ASSET CLEARANCE.
This interwar Queenslander, circa 1930, has seen only 2 owners in its 80 year (est.) history; the current family bought the property in 1947. Its street specific zoning – CMU02 – Character Mixed Use (Denmark Hill Summit) says it all. There’s work to do – no denying that! All in all, it’s stood up well to the ravages of time and the bones are solid; as they say, they don’t build ‘em like that anymore. Some of the internal “VJ” tongue in groove walls are unpainted and in perfect condition; a testament to the quality of both the timber and the craftsmanship of the era.
Advice received from Council’s Heritage Advisor indicated that there’s an enormous opportunity here to re-position and restore this special piece of Ipswich history. Needless to say, but you know I’m going to, the view to the north is spectacular and shared only by a handful of houses along Chelmsford Ave. Raised, rotated and moved forward so that the home faces the avenue, this view would be even more spectacular. Add a back deck, sit back, relax and enjoy one of the best views in Ipswich.
Access to the property is via an easement off Nicholas Street which was granted in 1929 for the princely sum of One Shilling! If the house was repositioned as suggested, parking and access issues would be relieved. A character styled carport could be positioned for car parking via Chelmsford Ave but this, and any changes to the existing building, would be subject to Council approval and conditions.
Its position so close to the Ipswich General Hospital would make this a perfect residence for visiting doctors or for use as low key professional offices, again, subject to Council approval and conditions.
