8 Henry Street, Chapel Hill QLD 4069

I'm not a fan of real estate cliches but this property really deserves all the cliches that include the word opportunity! Think "opportunity knocks", "opportunity abounds", "opportunity in abundance", you get the idea. And if you can't see the "opportunity" here then you are simply looking at the wrong things. First time to the market in some 60 odd years, this is a whopping 842sqm in an exceptionally convenient location literally metres to the corner store, public transport and easy access to the Western Freeway all within a tranquil, rainforest setting on a quiet street with minimal traffic. The house itself is circa 1950's and hasn't changed much since it was built so the "opportunity" to renovate and restore to create a character filled home is immense. Alternatively, as much as it would break my heart, there are no restrictions to removing the existing house to build your dream home from scratch in this spectacular location.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that this type of "opportunity" less than 9km from the CBD is becoming increasingly rare and in the current market is even more so.

THE LOCATION

The giant spotted gum on the median strip is an old growth tree, older than white settlement in Australia. Trees of this age in Brisbane are extremely rare. It was featured on the ABC TV's Gardening Australia show.
