Treasured by the one family for more than 65 years, this delightful post-war character home sits in a quiet corner of Morningside, just footsteps from its best lifestyle amenities. Surrounded by stunning contemporary homes, the option exists to build a new luxury residence on the level north-east facing site* But for buyers with a little vision, the current residence would certainly lend itself to an impressive renovation.
Solidly constructed, immaculately maintained and still boasting a functional floorplan, the air-conditioned home promises immediate liveability. The interior offers plenty of original character, featuring high ceilings with ornate cornices and hardwood floorboards preserved beneath the carpets.
Outside, a large rear yard currently features a bricked barbeque area and large storage sheds; but it’s easy to see how large lawn space or a swimming pool would be perfect family additions.
Investors wishing to landbank the property would have no difficulty obtaining immediate solid rental returns, while scope exists for a quick low-cost refurbishment to increase yield. And those planning on a full rebuild could easily offset costs by leasing out the home while plans are undertaken.
Either way, this versatile and much-loved family address is desirably positioned just footsteps from bus transport and only minutes to the train station. It is a short stroll to local specialty shops, major supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, parkland, the popular Beelarong Community Farm, as well as health and fitness amenities including the Morningside Tennis Centre. Families will enjoy excellent proximity to a choice of top childcare and schools including Sts Peter and Pauls and Cannon Hill Anglican College, while the property sits an easy 6kms from the CBD by road, with quick access to the airport and coast via the Gateway motorway.
With true renovation or knock-down rebuild properties becoming harder to find, this is a rare opportunity to take your place in the best part of coveted Morningside.
