Sometimes when you walk into a home it has enough charm and grace to make your hairs stand on end and 26 Errard St is such a home. It has been lovingly cared for throughout its long life with most of the sought after pre-war features still remaining and in extraordinary condition. We fell in love with the pressed metal ceilings in every room (you heard right, lounge and bedrooms all beautiful patterned pressed metal), the stunning fretwork above every doorway, the light roses and pull-cord switches, the vertical joinery and stunning timber floors.
This home is an absolute beauty, inside and out just as it stands today, however it also offers ample opportunity for an increased future potential. Raise and build in underneath and create a four or five bedroom, two living area home, add a pool in the lush backyard - so many options to turn this charming abode into your dream home.
Property Features:
- A flat 405sqm block with great mature gardens creating a beautiful green leafy outlook.
- Beautiful front and back balconies giving great outdoor seating space.
- Three well sized bedrooms all with VJ's, stunning pressed metal ceilings and fretwork above the doorways.
- The large lounge room is in the centre of the home, with plenty of space for a full modular sofa setting or a couple of couches. It also has the most stunning pressed metal ceiling finished with a beautiful ceiling rose and traditional lighting.
- At the back of the home is the kitchen and dining space, which is open plan leading out to the back balcony through timber French doors.
- The kitchen is in a country style and suits the home well, it's in great condition but if you would like to update it we have some fabulous ideas to assist.

- Through to the back balcony which also fits a large dining setting and has extra room for an outdoor lounge. It overlooks the tranquil leafy backyard.

Location Features:
Errard St is right on the Kelvin Grove / Red Hill / Ashgrove boundaries and therefore you have easy access to all these great suburbs, the Kelvin Grove shops, Newmarket shops, Ashgrove shops and Paddington precincts are all a short drive (some even a short walk) away - and you are only a few minutes to the CBD. Walk around the corner to Bancroft Park which is well known amongst local residents as we all like to go there with our dogs to make use of the large dog park, and children can play safely at the playground, there is also a BBQ area for family get togethers. Another great feature of this parkland is that it doesn't end at Bancroft Park, the walkway can take you all the way out to The Gap (with many parks to stop at along the way) or right into the City via Herston... use it for bike rides, runs or walks... great for children riding their bikes and scooters safely.
Suburb Features:
In the growth suburb of Kelvin Grove, situated near the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital (RBWH), Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the Kelvin Grove Village, this house is in the perfect location. The Kelvin Grove Village offers great shopping including many Restaurants and Cafes, a local Supermarket, Butcher, Dentist, Doctors and a Beauty Parlour. All this within a walk of your new home. The Village is quickly becoming something special with the Saturday Farmers Markets and many Creative Events on the calendar every year.
You are also an easy distance to the Newmarket Shops, and also the fabulous Paddington Shopping precinct... so many dining and shopping options to choose from. On Sundays you can take the Parkland bikeway straight to the Northey St Organic Farmers markets.
