AN ORIGINAL QUEENSLANDER
LOCATED IN A POPULAR INNER CITY SUBURB OF RAILWAY ESTATE, CLOSE TO SCHOOLS, BUS, BOAT RAMPS AND RECREATION AREAS, THIS 2 BEDROOM QUEENSLANDER IS 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE CBD AND THE BEACH. IT HAS COMBINED LIVING AND DINING AREAS, A BIG KITCHEN WITH A GAS COOKER/OVEN AND A WALK IN PANTRY, SMALL BUT FUNCTIONAL BATHROOM WITH BATH AND SHOWER AND A SEPARATE TOILET, A STUDY, AND AN ENCLOSED L-SHAPED VERANDA. UNDER THE HOUSE IS LOCKABLE, OF LEGAL HEIGHT AND CONCRETED - IT HOLDS LAUNDRY, 2 CAR SPOTS AND STORAGE/WORKSHOP AREA. THE HOUSE IS FULL OF FEATURES THAT GIVE QUEENSLANDERS THEIR CHARM, INCLUDING A BAY WINDOW, SOARING HIGH CEILINGS, TIMBER LOUVERS TO VERANDAS AND CAMEL BACK WINDOWS WITH ARCTIC GLASS, FRENCH DOORS AND WIDE, HONEY COLOURED FLOOR BOARDS (HARDWOOD TO VERANDAS). FLOORS ARE WIDE HONEY-COLOURED PINE BOARDS TO LIVING AREAS AND BEDROOMS, HARDWOOD TO VERANDAS, CEDAR PINE TO STUDY AND BACK ENTRANCE AND HERITAGE-STYLED TILES TO BATHROOM AND TOILET. THE HOUSE WAS RELOCATED ONTO ITS HIGH AND DRY SITE (ENGINEERED, DEVELOPED AND SOLD BY THE LOCAL COUNCIL) IN 1998, WHEN IT WAS RE-STUMPED, RE-WIRED, RE-PLUMBED, REPAINTED AND UPDATED TO WITHSTAND HIGH WIND LOADS, AS PER APPLICABLE BUILDING REGULATIONS. IT WAS POSITIONED ON THE BLOCK SO AS TO CAPTURE SUMMER BREEZES AND HAS ROOF INSULATION, MAKING IT A VERY COOL HOUSE (THOUGH IT STILL HAS A REVERSE CYCLE SPLIT SYSTEM TO LIVING AREAS AND AIR-CONDITIONERS TO BEDROOMS). ON A GENEROUS 809 M2, THE HOUSE IS FULLY FENCED AND SET BACK AWAY FROM THE STREET TO INCREASE ITS AMBIENCE OF TRANQUILLITY. IT HAS LUSH GARDENS AND ACCESS TO THE COUNCIL'S ?GREEN AREA' TO ONE SIDE. WHILE THE HOUSE OFFERS COMFORTABLE LIVING STRAIGHT AWAY, IT OFFERS LOTS OF SCOPE TO ENHANCE IT AND ADD VALUE. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU COULD CONVERT SOME OF THE UNDER THE HOUSE AREAS INTO LIVING SPACE (SUBJECT TO COUNCIL REGULATIONS) OR ADD A FRONT DECK TO APPRECIATE THE FRONT GARDEN. GARDENS HAVE FRUITING CITRUS TREES AS WELL AS CLIMATE-APPROPRIATE NATIVES, E.G. BOTTLEBRUSHES AND PAPERBARKS WHICH ATTRACT WILD BIRDS. THE ELECTRIC BLUE ULYSSES BUTTERFLIES BREED IN THE GARDENS THANKS TO THEIR LIFECYCLE TREES BEING PLANTED FOR THEM.
