The home is protected from the street with a screen of tropical gardens and a low slung fence with gated entry that leads through a winding driveway to the under home parking space. The property is in desperate need of renovation so be prepared when you inspect.
Upstairs timber flooring span underfoot and there are banks of louvered windows throughout allowing for excellent cross-flow ventilation. The living and dining areas area spacious and the kitchen sits separately and offers wrap around counters and bench space with overhead storage too.
Each of the three bedrooms is a good size and includes a built in robe space for storage along with timber flooring and walls of louvers. The bathroom is basic and includes a bath tub and small vanity with a separate toilet facility.
Under the home is a concrete slab with plenty of space for storage, parking or outdoor entertaining. There is an exposed laundry overlooking a well shaded yard and a handy garden shed.
The property is ready for your extensive renovation ideas and could be transformed into a working family home with a bit of ingenuity and creative flair. The location certainly lessens the risk of over-capitalisation and in time your family could be living the dream - in the dream home - in the dream location.
Trendy cafes and restaurants, the Parap Swimming Pool, Shopping Village and iconic Parap Markets are within strolling distance and provide the ideal Saturday morning leisure options. A short drive or bike ride away Lake Alexander and the gorgeous Fannie Bay foreshore provide close at hand picnic options.
