This really is just like grannys place, neat and tidy and would come up a treat with a cosmetic renovation. The exterior is vinyl clad and the iron roof is painted silver, with safety certified foil insulation underneath. The interior is clean and liveable and has had recent paint, an updated toilet and shower unit fitted in the bathroom, and the kitchen is clean and useable. The entire interior is carpeted, but there are lovely wide floorboards underneath just waiting to be polished. Many of the original coloured glass windows are intact, and there is a lovely timber archway in the lounge/dining and the original fireplace surround is still in place. There are security doors front and rear and a security screen in the main bedroom, and there are mobility safety handrails in the shower unit. The home has updated wiring and has modern safety switches for both light and power in the meter box.
The back yard slopes down away from the home, and while the lower yard did experience flooding in 1974 and 2011, the house itself was high and dry in both flood events. The handy location is in a quiet little spot but just a few minutes to shops, schools, parks, transport, and the Ipswich CBD. This would be a fantastic starter home, or a great investment property for a canny buyer. For more information or to arrange an inspection, please contact Vin Phillips on (07) 3288 6800.
