16-18 Athol Street, Yeronga QLD 4104

16-18 Athol Street Yeronga offers 810sqm (2 lots, 2 titles) of prime real estate in a tightly held flood free pocket within Yeronga. Owned by the same family for the last 23 years, homes like this are rarely offered to the market and they don’t get much better than this. Positioned on arguably one of the best blocks in Yeronga, north/south orientated, on a wide street in a cul-de-sac.

With gorgeous street appeal, behind the manicured hedge lies a home with a real southern influence. The brick and tile home is full of character and the charm of yesteryear, often sought after but rarely found in Queensland. Enjoy the current home on offer; renovate and extend to your own needs; build a new home; or split the block into two (subject to council approvals). This 1940’s home is full of original features with hardwood timber floors throughout, ornate cornices, high ceilings, feature arched windows, casement windows and lead lights.

Walk down the path and enter via the turret style porch through the solid oak door into the heart of the home. You are greeted by the spacious lounge room surrounded by French doors so the room can be closed off to enjoy the cosiness of the fireplace. The lounge opens up into what is currently being used as a study and could easily become the 3rd bedroom, one of my favourite rooms with a wall of arched windows. The other two bedrooms are to the other side of the lounge room separated from the lounge with a hallway and from each other by the bathroom. The main bathroom is tasteful and in keeping with the home offering a shower over bath and toilet, with a second toilet in the laundry

The kitchen has been modernised with quality cabinetry, an oversized pantry, gas cooktop, dishwasher and casement windows to bring the outside in. French doors separate the kitchen to the living or can be opened up so that the cook can stay connected to their family and guests. The dining room is at the back of the home and offers an open plan living and dining that flows out through the glass sliding doors to the large back yard and covered entertainment space. With plenty of room for a pool and room for the kids and animals to play.

The fully fenced home is complete with a single carport and a lock up garage. This side of the home provides lots of scope for an extension. Build the garage into the home, or remove the garage and build in this area that runs along the side of the home creating a whole new wing. Or you may even want to demolish the 2nd living area and create a two story extension to the back of the home, retaining the lovely facade while at the same time extending the home to capture the city views.

Excellent public transport access for both bus (just around the corner) and Yeronga train station within walking distance. There is also easy access to the major hospitals, major universities, QLD Tennis Centre, prestige private schools; just a bike ride to the Green Bridge and University of Queensland; and walking distance to parks, local shops and cafes, Yeronga offers an outstanding lifestyle only 5km to the CBD with excellent capital growth potential.
