38 Miles Street

Clayfield QLD 4011

Set on an easy to maintain 405m², the home currently incorporates two bedrooms, a bathroom, two sleepouts, separate kitchen and spacious living-dining room, as well as an elevated rear deck.
From the deck, nestled amid shady trees, are expansive views to Mt Cooot-tha and the western ranges – just perfect for unwinding on a Sunday with the weekend papers and a coffee.
While the home would currently offer comfortable living for a couple, its true potential can easily be unlocked by even the novice renovator, and the addition of a lower level would transform it into a gorgeous two-level family home.
In fact, the elevation and position of the house on the block creates both the space and accessibility to effortlessly create a lower level below the existing upper floor of the home.
Indeed, with downstairs already legal height, it's simply a matter of designing the new rooms and constructing them.
The recent restoration has seen the home freshly painted both inside and out in a neutral colour scheme, a new roof and guttering, boundary surveying, floor boards polished to a sparkling shine and new ceiling insulation installed for cool summers – so there really is nothing more to do than build in under.
Best of all, because the block slopes gently back away from the street, the lower level will open out into your private garden creating an ideal space for entertaining – perhaps around a plunge pool should you wish to include one in your plans.
Of course, if you did want to design and build a brand new, contemporary home, this isn't a problem. The home is not in a Demolition Control Precinct and may be removed, subject to Council approval.
This home is in a wonderful position for families with young children or for executive couples who may be looking to start a family in the near future, being located in the coveted Eagle Junction State School catchment and close to some of Brisbane's most regarded private Schools including St Margaret's, St Rita's and Clayfield College.
It's an easy walk from the home to two train stations and the many restaurant and entertainment options of the Albion dining strip. A short drive will take you to a range of shopping complexes including Clayfield Markets, Lutwyche and Toombool Shopping Centres and the discount haven of DFO.
Of course, you'll never be short of things to do, with Portside Hamilton and Racecourse Road only a few minute's drive from the home, easy access to the city via the Inner City Bypass and Brisbane Airport only 4km away.
Of course, the future holds many more exciting things for this area, with the Albion Mill development aiming to provide a similar experience to James Street and Portside Hamilton.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the first home buyers, executive couples or families who don't mind renovating to create a stunning historic home base that secures their future lifestyle.
