Privately positioned high on prestigious Ascog Tce Toowong, this generous family estate is being offered to the market for the first time in over half a century.
The property occupies a remarkable 2,291m2 of valuable inner-city land (over 2 lots with 2 street access) and commands an ideal North-East aspect. From its elevated position suspended above the city, the property takes in expansive vistas which sweep 180 degrees across Brisbane, climaxing in breathtaking views of the broad city skyline.
Properties encompassing this land size so close to the CBD are as rare as hen’s teeth and this property offers a host of opportunities. Renovate, detonate, subdivide, re-develop or preserve, this property is real estate gold, ideal for developers, investors, designers and families alike.
Currently the original 1960’s architect-designed brick home takes pride of place on the highpoint of the extraordinary block, overlooking the swimming pool, tennis court and terraced lawns. Spectacular views can be appreciated from all areas.
Like a time-capsule, the impressive brick home has preserved a slice of 1960’s modernist design that will transport prospective buyers back to a time when interior design was all about bold colour, vinyl, linoleum surfaces and statement wall art.
The solid brick home has been very well maintained, offering a functional floorplan for today’s lifestyle.
Downstairs there is a granny flat with original sixties kitchenette and separate bedroom and living room. For the kids there is a huge recreation/rumpus room with direct access to the yard, pool and tennis court. Even the ground floor captures city views. For convenience a separate bathroom, toilet and sauna are located on this level.
Upstairs showcases an expansive living area with adjoining lounge and dining rooms. Both rooms are flooded in light and open to the terrace, capitalising on the spectacular views of the city skyline and the ideal north-east aspect for perfect year-round alfresco living.
The kitchen, characterised by a retro built-in breakfast booth, also opens to the terrace and enjoys the best of the morning light from the east.
Down the hall are four bedrooms, each with built in robes and retro cabinetry. The front two rooms share views of the city and all are serviced by the family bathroom with corner spa bath and separate toilet. A study is also located on this level, as is the laundry with direct access to a rear courtyard and clotheslines.
A two-car garage plus additional carport, two water tanks, underneath storage rooms and security system complete the list of features in the home.
The property is fully fenced and enjoys the advantage of two-street access.
Of course, the location is a major contributing factor to the value and desirability of this property. Toowong is located just 7kms (approx.) from the Brisbane CBD and boasts outstanding amenities. The Wesley Hospital and Toowong Private Hospital are in close proximity as well as excellent public and private schools, including prestigious BBC (Brisbane Boys College), the University of Queensland and the Qld Academy for Science Mathematics & Technology.
