7 Ormond Terrace, Indooroopilly QLD 4068

This inner-city hideaway will offer you the option to restore this artist’s Mid-Century period residence with a strong Mediterranean feel. You may wish to remodel under a renovation or choose to remove and replace with a home of your taste. Either way this marvelous tranquil retreat positioned around lush bushland on a larger than average 711m2 allotment is just 20 minutes from the CBD. The main residence sits neatly behind a skillion roof carport that is attached to a small garage and has seen some improvements over the years since being constructed after 1959.

At first glance, you will appreciate the extensive tree canopy that extends over the large allotment, which not only helps keep the home cool and shaded, but adds seclusion and privacy whilst bringing bird activity. A sunny courtyard, often the place to relax, separates the car accommodation to the home leaving you the option to create the perfect European style patio area under a vine covered pergola. Inside the solid painted block residence, features a wonderful sunroom encased with glass producing dappled natural light under the tree shelter, yet still oversees the surrounding bushland. This room directly receives cool prevailing summer breezes and morning winter sun during the cooler months and works well to appreciate its sky-lit gallery that runs down the side length of the home. A formal living room houses the original open brick fireplace whilst an updated pine kitchen is positioned to the side of these two rooms keeping them all connected. The kitchen, with an overhead skylight, enjoys a gas upright stove and extensive rustic Hoop Pine cabinetry.

A hallway leads you to both bedrooms and the main bathroom with toilet contained. The main bedroom is ideally located at the rear, very spacious and has a second toilet off to the outside of the walk-in robe area, so a renovation may allow you to re-purpose this area into an ensuite and walk-in-robe. Both bedrooms have air-conditioning whilst the bathroom and second bedroom have also been fitted with skylights.

An internal timber stairwell takes you to an office area and hobby rooms once containing a kiln for pottery by the artist, however, in later years it has had use as a wine storage room, as the temperature is consistent all-year-round. Hardwood floors and terracotta tiles are prevalent throughout. The home appears quite solid however, would need updating at some point. The rear yard once contained an above-ground pool but that has almost disappeared amongst established overgrown gardens.

Located within a beautiful leafy and quiet suburb in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of a lush University of Queensland bushland reserve, this property is ready for you to add your touches or redesign your forever home. Walking distance to the shopping centre, the State's best schools, and cycle just 30 minutes to Brisbane’s CBD.
