If you've been waiting for the opportunity to secure a character home in one of Brisbane's most tightly held bayside suburbs and create something truly special, this is the one. Set on a generous 572sqm allotment with a wide 15-metre frontage, this circa 1910 Queenslander is rich in history, overflowing with charm and offers the kind of potential that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. While significant structural improvements have already been completed, there is still plenty of work ahead, presenting an outstanding opportunity for renovators, builders or buyers with vision to add substantial value and make this beautiful home their own. The home has exceptional bones and provides the perfect canvas for those wanting to restore its original grandeur while incorporating modern comforts. Whether you choose to enhance the existing layout, further renovate the interiors or simply continue the restoration over time, this is an opportunity to create something truly special. Inside, the home retains many of its original character features including VJ walls, picture rails, fanlights, internal doors and beautiful hoop pine and hardwood timber floors. A traditional central hallway connects the flexible floorplan, currently comprising three bedrooms, a separate lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and enclosed front verandah currently used as a home office. Major renovations completed in 2001 included rewiring, replumbing, raising and levelling the home, a new concrete slab, updated kitchen and bathroom, plus new front and rear staircases - providing an excellent foundation for the next owner to continue the transformation. The current owners have also begun further restoration works, with areas carefully stripped and repainted while additional materials, including matching spotted gum timber, bathroom tiles and pre-painted stair balustrades, will be left for the successful purchaser to continue the home's restoration if desired. Downstairs offers an extensive workshop, storage and laundry space with provisions for an additional toilet, while the tandem garage provides drive-through access to the rear garden. Mature gardens and cooling coastal breezes complete the picture.
