295 Alderley Street, South Toowoomba QLD 4350

Sitting on two titles and comprising two individual homes, are these rare, enticing properties - not often seen so close to the city. The front allotment with a charming 3-bedroom character home occupies 626 square metres, while the rear allotment, with a 1-bedroom home, covers a whopping 1,041 square metres. Centrally located, 295 Alderley Street is just a stone's throw from some of Toowoomba's most popular eateries, major shopping precincts, The Toowoomba City Golf Club or one of the many other sporting centres, such as Gold Park -the heart of Downs' rugby, Nell E. Robinson Park -home to netball, or South Toowoomba Bowls' Club. Toowoomba's vibrant centre and respected primary and secondary schools are less than a 5-minute drive away.

Pretty as a picture, the gabled cottage beyond the picket fence, has all the charm and period features one would expect in a Post-World War II home. The original 8-pane windows throughout and 2.4 metre high ceilings, showcase wonderful, light and airy spaces. Enhancing the nostalgic feel are gorgeous polished timber floors, authentic dado, picture and plate rails and painted timber battens on the ceiling and walls. Adding to the warm and cozy ambience is a free standing, box fireplace with external flue in the living room, complemented by two air-conditioners for the summer months. All three bedrooms have a tranquil atmosphere complemented by a soothing colour pallet. The 'retro' eat-in kitchen with natural gas, has a delightful north facing window overlooking the partially covered deck and established gardens. Thriving in Toowoomba's rich red soil is a plethora of fruit trees including finger limes, paw paws, mulberries, lemons, pomegranates, avocados -the list goes on. A double carport completes the picture for the 'front' cottage.

Away from street view is the second residence (rear allotment): https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-south+toowoomba-131891630

Such an interesting proposition for the investor- reside in the cute, front cottage with great street appeal and benefit from renting the rear cottage on a long lease or take advantage of the popularity of short-term accommodation. With the astute developer in mind, the rear cottage could be successfully removed, and the sizeable land built upon. With such a central location and with wonderful amenities on the doorstep, this two titled parcel is extremely attractive.

Buy one or both on Saturday 28 September.
