Pure and Original - Inter-war Home on over Half an Acre
Yes! That is over HALF AN ACRE in an inner city suburb (within 4 minutes) of the thriving Ipswich CBD!! One of the most pure and original examples of an Inter-war home that I have encountered, this home will whisk you back into a time-gone-by and appeal to your wildly romantic side!
Timber, polished only by time, features warmly throughout this home.
Original bathroom features enamel pedestal sink, and a wonderfully deep bath to match...both in top condition.
Shabby-chic is the best way to describe it... the home oozes with charm and proud history.
The kitchen has almost all of its original components, yet remains as functional and easy as any modern kitchen...just much more charming. There's even the old stove recess to take the stove of your dreams.
Characteristically large bedrooms, still with full settings of original ''Cribb and Foote'' stamped furniture available, which the owner is happy to leave if you desire.
Find your way from both bedrooms, through French doors to the most beautiful and romantic sleepout, comfortable all year round, with ample windows to catch the breezes and appreciate the leafy gardens.
Spacious living room with stunning timberwork...a feature of these quality hardwood homes, built to last longer than a lifetime, with functional designs and decorative appeal.
Ceilings and light fittings are all in keeping with this masterpiece, with the power box and wiring to the street recently upgraded with safety switches and regulation fuses. Still electrical work to complete, but a start has been made.
Fully insulated for your comfort, recently upgraded HWS and freshly painted sleepout and bathroom.
Ample space under with a laundry, workshop, and ''the Gardeners Toilet'' downstairs to save the stairs whilst you are in the garden.
1 carspace under, concreted and secure for your storage.
Now if you think the home is something special, then you are yet to discover the half acre (2023sq.m) allotment in all its glory.With producing fruit trees, rich soil for the vege gardens, established gardens surrounding the home in lush greenery, good elevation to capture the breeze and a dense pocket of rainforest-like bushland down the back to explore in the privacy and security of your own property.
You might even like to turn the rustic carport into a chook pen, collect the eggs, turn the compost, grow the vegies, and live the simple life...yet stay within minutes of the hub of the city and shopping.Live the Dream!!!!
For any Brisbane commuters who long to escape the grind, and come home each day to an affordable, peaceful, retreat...this home is well positioned with a straight run to the Warrego Highway and only a quick run to Brisbane...
Underneath you'll find the laundry, a workshop and one garage space fit for a small car. There is also plenty of storage space left over - you could always lift the house to create another room underneath.
Come inspect this property today! The seed of the dream is here for you. A bit of work and you will reap the rewards.
