Tucked behind a white-picket fence amid lush greenery is this cottage-style house with a lower-level self-contained granny flat and off-street parking for six cars, less than 5km from the CBD and in the centre of Brisbane’s premier tertiary hub.

This partially renovated solid brick and tile property on the border with St Lucia, is in need of a little TLC to fulfill its potential nestled among quality homes.

Stylish renovations have transformed the main living areas and bathrooms incorporating an open-plan design that includes a good-sized kitchen with modern appliances and bench tops. The main kitchen adjoins a light and airy dining space that flows to an area for relaxing, featuring beautiful polished timber floors, picture windows, high ceilings and elaborate cornice work.

This spacious light-filled living area also has ceiling fans and air-conditioning, with double doors allowing access to a generous tiled front verandah overlooking the pleasant landscaped garden on an easterly aspect to make the most of the prevailing south-easterly breezes.

On this level three, good-sized bedrooms are serviced by two renovated bathrooms.

The main bedroom has its own walk-in robe and French doors allowing access to a balcony with views across the leafy streetscape.

One bathroom has a sizeable bath and a skylight that floods the area including the passage way with natural light. The second bathroom has a large shower and includes facilities for a laundry, with outside access to the clothesline.

The rear yard also has a delightful courtyard/BBQ space, great for informal gatherings.

A polished internal timber staircase gives access to the lower level that comprises a granny flat/teen retreat or home-office space, including one bedroom, bedroom-sized utility room, generous lounge, galley kitchen and a third bathroom/laundry.

This level is functional as is but has great potential for revitalising and remodelling to suit any new owner’s needs, adding further value to the property.

The gardens are landscaped and well established. There are also ramps to facilitate access to the house and two driveways, which allow for a two-car carport, one car lockup garage/storage, and there is a paved area with room for a further three cars off-street.
