Blank Canvas Opportunity On A Large, Family-Friendly Allotment

Situated in a quiet, leafy residential street and just moments from a host of retail and service amenities, schools, transport and acres of parkland, this lovely post-war cottage is a real gem, as is, and offers the buyer or investor plenty of possibilities for future improvement.

Ready for you to put your stamp on, whether that be a simple renovation, a total redesign and transformation or the consideration of knocking down and rebuilding a sizeable residence for your family (STCA), the opportunities are endless.

Well looked after and sound, the original weatherboard dwelling has solid timber floors, high ceilings and updated interiors, with a huge 3-bay, high-clearance shed at the rear of the 607m2 property perfect for four-wheel-drives and trade vehicles, a boat or camper trailer and workshop use.

There is a welcoming porch at the front and a covered patio at the back, a gently sloping yard with a shade-covered terrace and garden shed, a water tank, a raised veggie garden and a level lawn area for the kids and pets to play on.

Inside, refreshed living spaces include a light-filled lounge room with air-conditioning, an eat-in kitchen with a gas stove, retro-style cupboards and a separate pantry, two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower-over-bath combination. Ceiling fans are located throughout, and a large, enclosed laundry space has been added, adjacent to the back stairs.

Located within Brisbane City's desirable 10km middle ring radius, the house is set in behind fragrant frangipanis and a white picket fence and is walking distance from Oxford Park Train Station, Arana Hills Plaza with its Coles, Kmart and Aldi, Grovely State School and the Arana Leagues Club.
