The tandem garage under the house has ample parking space, laundry and seperate workshop. There is potential for subdivision with the correct council approvals. This rare gem is in its original state internally, with all of the charm of yesteryear.

Summary: Grab this Tiger by the tail!
Description: Since most properties are described as being on the CBD fringe...this one can be labelled as being on the CBD forehead with its super convenient location being so close to services, amenities, retail, food options, gym, Bunnings, school, day care, IGA, homemaker centre, bus stops and more. Simply put one foot in front of the other to get to work, dinner, exercise, shopping and potentially be one of those people who wheels the shopping trolley home with you! You can simply sell the car or if you want to keep it then this mostly fenced 493m2 block has enough side access and rear yard space to add the Garage Mahal or capitalise on the convenient location and possibly add a Granny Flat if approved to do so! This Circa 1924 built cottage has been within the same family since 1963 and after some freshening up with internal and external paint and a bit of chiropractic by adding in some adjustable metal stumps and a new support beam...is now ready to serve someone else for another 63 years and then Tank Lee the third could probably sell it for you in 2089. The enclosed front verandah/sleepout welcomes you inside and opens up into a good sized lounge/dining room with amazing original wide cut floorboards, high ceilings and a peek at some of the old school t & g timber features found dotted throughout. The great sized bedroom definitely does the job whilst the tidy, light and bright kitchen complete with a bottled gas fed cooktop/oven as well as the adjoining bathroom with separate loo are found at the rear of the home. The kitchen space exits out onto the covered rear deck and the euro styled laundry is tucked away behind double doors and is built into one side of the deck area. Why pay more for a similar sized unit within a complex that has no yard, neighbours too close for comfort and a quarterly body corp bill when you can own your own home and block of dirt on the forehead of the bustling Ipswich CBD! Block size: 493m2 Bedrooms: 1 Bathrooms: 1 Formal lounge: 1 Family room: Enclosed front verandah/sleepout Outdoor entertainment: Covered rear deck Fenced yard: Mostly fenced yard Roof Type: Iron Gas: Btl Gas fed kitchen cooktop/oven Tenants: Nope Amenities: On the CBD Doorstep! Walk to plenty of services/amenities/retail/food/conveniences Flood Free? - Flood map shows 1974 flood across the yard however this home has been within the same family since 1963 and nobody recalls it happening!

Summary: Check out this Large Willey!
Description: Surely this solid old girl will tickle your pickle with its large mostly fenced 974m2 piece of CBD fringe located awesomeness that has the University on one side of it and the Ipswich hospital/medical precinct & bustling CBD on the other side of it! Located toward the end of this sleepy cul de sac street is where you will find this solid home that was moved to site in the 1950's and thankfully still retains plenty of character features from that era including timber flooring mostly throughout, super high ceilings, plenty of tongue & groove ceilings and walls as well as the old wood stove as a decorative keepsake but also potentially a winter heater! An updated iron roof is found up top and for all you potential granny flat addition buyers, she easily has potential for dual driveways along either side of this sprawling yard (those are 2 words seldom used today when describing land!) External front stairs lead onto an L shaped covered deck that does have some drop down blinds for privacy etc however since we have a parkland opposite the home there is no peering eyes from across the road. Once you enter this 2 bedroom home you are instantly surrounded by awesome timber character features from the floor to the walls and ceilings. The supersized air conditioned main bedroom has 2 french doors directly accessing the covered front deck with plenty of space to be like most owners with this era of home that enclose the side portion of the covered deck to add in a spacious ensuite and walk in robe. Bedroom 2 is also good sized, sits opposite the Main bedroom and also has French doors leading out to the front deck as well as a double door built in robe with overhead storage. A very large air conditioned lounge room adjoins a separate study/sitting room that has a door accessing the covered side deck on one side, and access to the separate loo on the other. Be thankful the loo is within the home as back in the day it was located beneath the home and I'm sure people would have held off the toilet visits for as long as they could. Ewwwwwwwww! The tidy bathroom definitely does its job and not far from it is the kitchen/dining area that has some modern cabinetry as well as a super wide double door built in pantry and large fridge space. The old wood stove is still found within the kitchen area as a decorative time piece and could also be used as a winter heater once the chimney system is checked out. External rear stairs lead down from the kitchen area to the concrete floor area and underside of the home that offers a 2 car tandem covered parking, plenty of workshop/storage area as well as the laundry space. Some electrical wiring has been updated, NBN is connected to the property and this solid old girl has plenty of options to grow into, redesign the layout, add in a large shed or potentially a Granny flat, pool...or all of the above subject to ICC approval of course! Wander across to the large parkland opposite this home to run the dogs or the kids or yourself etc, roll the pushie down the road to the local bmx club track, save motor vehicle costs to put towards your HECS debt by walking to the Uni and escape the stupid parking issues at the hospital by simply walking to work! Schools, medical, takeaway food options and bus stops are also close by and best of all you are front row seat to any of the fireworks displays at the Ipswich Showgrounds! Come and live in amongst it all but feel miles away from it all thanks to the sleepy cul de sac street, large block and parkland opposite. Block size: 974m2 Bedrooms: 2 Bathrooms: 1 Formal lounge: 1 Car accommodation: 2 car tandem garaging with plenty of concrete floor workshop/storage space Outdoor entertainment: L shaped covered front deck Fenced yard: Mostly fenced yard Air conditioning: Main Brm + Lounge Room Roof Type: Updated iron roof Tenants: Nope Amenities: CBD fringe.

Description: Spend your hard earned dollars or bank supplied funds on this beauty that is located just a few km from the bustling Ipswich CBD and is within an easy walk to the local park, bus stops, school, day care, shops and pool. The awesome street appeal of this solid and flood free home continues into the inside with a stylish slap in the face upon entry thanks to the timber flooring found mostly throughout, air conditioned lounge/dining/kitchen, separate dining space that exits out onto the covered front deck and the sexy updated kitchen complete with a 900mm wide mains gas fed cooktop, electric oven, big fridge space, microwave nook, dishwasher, pantry, slide out storage solutions and plenty of display cabinets.

The updated bathroom sits amongst the bedrooms and has a top/bottom built in linen storage area with an included combo washer/dryer in the centre and included in the sale. This awesome tweak should mean that the laundry gets done more often thanks to the convenience factor as opposed the wandering across the large rear deck and downstairs to the traditional separate laundry area under the home. Another awesome and space saving addition to the bathroom is the soft close barn door across the entry which I love! A large rear deck is also easily accessed from the kitchen area and has external stairs that lead to the fully fenced rear yard and large under deck area that could also be utilised as extra parking or storage space. Beneath the home you will find the traditional laundry space, concrete stumps, some concrete floor workshop/storage area as well as room for 2 cars parked tandem. The entire 607m2 is fully fenced and also has some secondary rear yard fencing with double gates at the front of the carport to enable easy access into the rear yard and the under house carparking. This way the 2 and 4 legged kids can stay safely fenced in within the rear yard if entering and exiting the carport or front yard. Potential side access to park the caravan/boat/motorhome etc could also easily be done on the right side of the home if so desired or required. Solar Power harnesses the suns power whilst the mains gas supply fuels the kitchen cooktop and the hot water system.
