Price reduced Owners wants it sold!
Iconic! That?s the comment I made when we first viewed this home. The Owner and I stood on the front verandah, looking out over the street, you can feel the 100 plus years and all its glory, rolling by!
A large number of the homes in Park Street define the Character and History of our beautiful City and this property certainly meets all criteria.
Built between 1880 and 1890, this standout Queenslander Character home has been beautifully renovated for premium street appeal. It's not often a house in this location, quality and price comes on the market. Sitting on the original 130 year old wide veranda planks, with a north aspect, this house offers views to another four well known traditional Queenslanders captured in paintings featured at the Ipswich Art Gallery. The aptly named Park Street is 1 minutes walk from Central Ipswich's largest park, Limestone Park and 5 minutes walk from the renown Queens Park which features the newly renovated, multimillion dollar, animal and bird nature enclosure which is an established SE Qld Tourist Attraction. It needs to be noted that this part of Park Street, only has an left exit to Warwick Road, which arguably ensures that this is one of the quietest parts of this well known inner city street. Opened in 2013, the largest Coles in Qld is only 7 minutes walk away and within another minute you are standing inside the CBD. The hospital is closer at 5 minutes walk which is next to another place of natural beauty, the Denmark Hill Conservation Area.
The home features 3 bedrooms (2 with large built in cupboards), 1 bathroom, upstairs and downstairs toilets, separate sunroom/dining room, large living room, large kitchen with ample bench top space and storage, lower floor contains large secure cemented storage area and laundry. The House could be easily lifted and built in underneath for extra bedrooms and a multi media space. All the hard work has been done. Simply move in and enjoy central Ipswich's premium street.
As you enter through the front gate arch of bougainvillea you might smell either the frangipani or the lavender in the low maintenance, well established, front cottage garden. The front verandah has lattice for privacy when enjoying a cup of tea or as an extra play space for the kids. Enter through French doors to the first bedroom or convert to a study. Typical of this era, the living room retains the original horizontal tongue and groove boards and 12ft high ceiling. The recently turfed and landscaped back garden with established shady trees (including a mango tree) is a cool retreat.
