Fed up of the commute ? Don’t want to leave the comfort of your lovely cosy home to go to work ? Well, we have the answer .
This unique Queenslander Cottage has a real heritage feel, and features high ceilings, polished timber floors, and tongue / groove panelled walls. Lovely through breezes, ornate wrought-iron windows, and a warm welcoming feel all give this charming home a real sense of character and quality.
Up the front steps to the light and roomy entrance hall, which leads into the spacious living / dining / family area with fitted kitchen – all of which open onto an attractive full-depth covered verandah – just perfect for either entertaining, or chilling with a book and a glass of something cool.
But it’s the lower level where this property comes into its own. Accessed by a spiral staircase or directly from outside, the under house area has been converted for use as a home business, and offers flexibility rare in properties of this quality or style. There are three large offices, all complete with hardwired network ports and multiple mains points, plus a laundry / shower room, separate toilet, twin garages, and a workshop / storage area – Quite unbelievable !
Both front and rear lawns are fully fenced, with established trees and bushes ensuring privacy and security.
You will be close to local amenities and bus / train routes, motorway access, the centres of Toowong, Indooroopilly and Kenmore, and just ten minutes to the city. The property will appeal to professionals, empty-nesters, down-sizers, or investors looking for rental income. In addition, the downstairs office space offers something extra for expanding that home-based business, without the worries of the commute or security.
The flexibility that this unusual home offers, in terms of its character and charm upstairs, and work space downstairs, is very rare indeed. Imagine the heritage feel and the features of a Queenslander, combined with ultimate business practicality – and you have Number 56.
