Boasting never-to-be-built-out views into Eagle Farm Racecourse, this highset Queenslander presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers to create their dream home on a prestigious and unique 546sqms.
Ripe for renovation yet filled with impressive original details including hardwood floorboards, 3-metre-high ceilings, decorative timberwork and VJ walls, the home lends itself to an array of exciting growth and transformation possibilities. Also offering scope to fully capitalise on its easterly views overlooking the racetrack, options include:
Simple refurbishment and reconfiguration/opening-up of the existing floorplan to create a more modern flowing layout with stylish finishes.
Taking advantage of the block's 15.4-metre-wide frontage to extend the footprint of the home into the front and/or rear yard, adding substantial living space and bedrooms*; or
Further raising and building-in the ground floor of the home to create a huge dual-level family residence with plenty of room and access for a swimming pool*.
Either way, the potential to combine classic charm and contemporary luxury with Hendra's exclusive family and racing lifestyle is exceptional.
In addition, the currently vacant home could easily be rented out to minimise holding costs while plans for the property are undertaken. Features include:
-Huge, air-conditioned lounge and adjoining sunroom with racecourse views
-Separate kitchen with dishwasher, smart updated flooring, and dining area
-Expansive rear alfresco entertaining deck accessing fully fenced private garden and level lawns
-Versatile three-bedroom design; 2 with built-ins including the master with air-conditioning
-Third bedroom with its own entry, for optional use as a home office/studio/rumpus room
-Original bathroom with separate toilet
-Secure, powered, plumbed lower level with garage for 1+ vehicles, storage, workshop, 2nd toilet
