Last Listing description (August 2021)

This is your chance to purchase a classic 1930's bungalow that has a host of features including dual living, character and charm of a bygone era. Located in one of the best streets in Ipswich surrounded by other quality period homes.

From the minute you arrive at the property you can't help but be impressed with the street appeal and calibre of homes that surround this property. Newtown as a suburb is extremely desirable and has some of the most spectacular homes in Ipswich. It is very rare to get an opportunity to purchase in such an executive location.

Entering the home via the front stairs you walk straight on to the large verandah which is North-Easterly facing. The elevated verandah is the perfect space to enjoy your morning tea or coffee, relax and watch the world go by.

Walking through the amazing leadlight and coloured glass front door you are absolutely blown away by the modern renovations that work in conjunction with the character and charm of a bygone era. From the beautiful polished timber floors, 14-foot-high ceilings, timber fret-work and breeze ways, stained glass casement windows, Edwardian skirting boards and VJ walls. There is no need to worry about the roof either as it has been replaced and a 6.5Kw Solar system installed.

The large and spacious kitchen has been renovated and really well designed. It offers an abundance of bench and cupboard space, double sink, LG dishwasher, Delonghi 900mm European dual-fuel free standing oven and cooktop, tiled splashback and room for the largest of double door fridges. There is also a set of beautiful stained timber French doors that open out to the large elevated rear deck which is a massive 5.5 x 6m. It is privately positioned and makes the ultimate entertainment area for BBQ get togethers with friends and family and it also doubles as a 2-car carport below which could also be utilised as a second entertainment area.

Located just off the kitchen is the separate dining and lounge which are both large in size and divided by beautiful timber fret-work. There is also a reverse cycle air-conditioner, polished timber floors, ornate 14-foot-high ceilings and stained-glass windows and an internal staircase leading to the lower level of the home.

Two of the five bedrooms are upstairs and both are generously sized. The master also has an air-conditioner and two sets of French doors, one opening out to the front verandah and the other opening into the large sleepout room which you can walk to the upstairs bathroom.

The upstairs bathroom can be accessed via the kitchen or from the master via the sleepout. This bathroom features a single vanity, separate shower and spa bath and a toilet.

Walking downstairs via the internal timber stair case you enter the lower level of the home which is basically a second home in its own right. It is legal height and boasts air-conditioned open plan living with a large lounge/dining space complete with kitchenette. There are three bedroom, two of which are oversized and the third being a great size for a study or single bedroom. The lower level offers great storage with a large under stair storage cupboard and massive walk-in linen cupboard. There is also a bathroom with single vanity, shower and toilet. The laundry is also located on the lower level and is the perfect size for the biggest of top loading washing machines and still has room for a dryer and has access to the backyard to hang out washing.

This lower level is perfect for those with older/adult children or even elderly parents who need their own space and privacy but still want or need the security and comfort of knowing help is available upstairs and all the while feel safe and secure as the it has full security screens and doors. You could even use this area as the base of operations for a home business or rent it out.

The home sits on a fenced and manicured 905sqm block that is a blank canvas for new purchasers. It offers plenty of access for vehicles to the backyard and there is plenty of room should you want to renovate and extend the existing home, build a granny flat, or build the biggest sheds/carports for boats, caravans and trailers and still have enough room to build a pool. Subject to Ipswich City Council approval you could potentially subdivide this block and build another home or bring in a removal home or sell the block, it's up to you!
