Last Listing description (October 2020)

This home offers an incredible opportunity to buy a huge Character home in one of Brisbane's best suburbs. Over the past number of years this great house has served as a large family home as well as a fantastic high income investment property. With five bedrooms, two kitchens, three living rooms, three bathrooms, a huge patio and a great man cave or lady cave out the back, this property offers plenty of space for even the largest of families. If you don't need all the space right away you can separate off the granny flat to the side of the ground floor and rent it out for a little extra income.

For the investors, the total rent per week is currently $825.00 - this is broken into two leases (one for the main house and the other the granny flat). With some minor cosmetic updates this rent could be increased even further. It's a popular rental for employees and students at the Royal Brisbane Hospital and the Queensland University of Technology.
