Jo Dryden is very proud to present to market this post war beauty in a highly sought after pocket of Mitchelton, when we say potential plus we mean it!
This grand dame was moved from her original base in Newmarket to this large flat site in leafy St Helens Rd 18 years ago and has been a much-loved family home since.
Now, with the kids grown up it's time for a new family to take up residence and restore her to her former glory.
Crammed full of all the charm and grace you'd expect from a property like this you'll instantly appreciate the amazingly rare opportunity on offer here from the moment you enter.
A wide full-length hallway greets you from the front door with original fretwork features and a soaring high ceiling, creating a very grand first impression indeed and setting the scene for what's to follow.
To the left and right are what can only be described as identical master suites, yes two of them, each with a spacious bedroom, Walk in robe and ensuite plus a private sitting area, you can have one each or bribe your teenager with a retreat to really boast about.
There are 2 further large double bedrooms to the left of the hallway, again these are very grand rooms, and one can quite easily see what beautiful spaces these will be for the lucky little prince or princess who will one day reside here.
To the right of the hallway is the large formal lounge room, another stunning space waiting to be transformed into a calm and graceful sanctuary
At the rear of the home you'll find the hallway opens to the large and very functional kitchen/diner with French windows overlooking the parklike grounds
But we're not done inside yet, there's a further good-sized room perfect for a study/home office/playroom or 5th bedroom and an internal workshop adjoining the large laundry, there's also a family bathroom off the kitchen
Throughout this home you'll find charming original details everywhere such as pressed metal ceilings, ceiling roses, floorboards and fretwork
Outside you'll discover an acre of flat parklike grounds, with a mature stand of trees toward the back of the property separating you from Kedron Brook, there's the archetypal fire pit, vege patch and chook pen you'd expect on a lifestyle block plus room for goats, llamas even a horse or two..
Did I mention the location? Your new premier residence is just 11kms from the CBD, which you can easily access via train from nearby Mitchelton station. A mere 5 min walk and you'll find yourself in the heart of the Blackwood St dining precinct or take a 5 minute drive to that other amazingly hip dining precinct, Park Lane @ Everton Plaza, Brookside Shopping Centre is just a short stroll away too as are parks and greenspace galore
St Helens Rd itself is full of beautifully restored, character homesteads, one of the best streets in the suburb and one of the few remaining parts of North Brisbane where you can enjoy such peace and tranquility so close to the city, properties in this catchment are sought after and it's easy to see why.
Your local state schools are Mitchelton State and Mitchelton High School, or enjoy easy access to private schools Our Lady of Delours primary school and Mt Maria College
This home represents an opportunity that is certainly unique, to take on a project that you can truly pour your heart and soul into but with that combination of character, space and location rarely on offer.
