Set in one of Raceview’s most tightly-held pockets and backing directly onto parkland, 8 Cross Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a solid highset timber home on a completely flood-free block with genuine renovation potential, all just minutes from the Ipswich CBD. The current owner has lived in this home for over 50 years, but the time has come to move on and you now have the opportunity to secure a home that offers the kind of honest foundations renovators and first home buyers dream of.

Elevated from the street, the layout comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, a central bathroom with a separate toilet, and multiple living zones including a light filled lounge, spacious living room and enclosed front sunroom. The sunroom lends itself perfectly to a toy room, reading space or to expand the lounge room. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining zone is ready for a thoughtful update that could dramatically transform everyday living, including the possibility of converting the home into a more open-plan design.

Under the home, tandem two car accommodation provides excellent practicality along with valuable under house space for storage or workshop use, and longer-term scope for further enhancement subject to council approval. On top of the home, you’ll find a nine-panel solar system that will help to put a dent in those rising electricity costs. Set on a generous 688m² allotment, the backyard enjoys direct connection to leafy parkland, creating a sense of space, privacy and outlook that is increasingly hard to find this close to town.

Location is a standout feature. The home sits moments from the Ipswich CBD and is conveniently positioned near Ipswich Central State School and Bremer State High School (in catchment for both), with leading private schools including Ipswich Grammar, Ipswich Girls Grammar, St Edmund’s and St Mary’s all within easy reach. Medical facilities are close by with Ipswich General Hospital and St Andrew’s Private Hospital nearby, while Riverlink Shopping Centre, public transport connections, Queens Park and Limestone Park further enhance the lifestyle appeal.

Offering an outstanding combination of position, land size and renovation upside, this is a property that rewards vision. Whether you are entering the market, upgrading location or looking to add value through renovation, 8 Cross Street represents an opportunity not to be missed.
