Last Listing description (January 2021)

Situated on a 405m2 allotment within a tranquil and leafy pocket of Indooroopilly, this charming 1946 cottage provides a serene hideaway with an abundance of potential.

Down the winding brick path surrounded by lush greenery, the home opens into an enclosed verandah, enacting as a wonderful entrance way.

The air-conditioned open plan living and dining area showcases all the delightful period features that make up a home of its era. Wainscoting, picture rails and casement windows run the perimeter of the space whilst coffered ceilings hang overhead. A bay window seat proudly acts as the centerpiece of the room, creating a picturesque scene.

The cottage-style kitchen features classic white two-pac cabinetry, white subway tile splashback, stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher and SMEG gas cooktop, pantry with additional built-in storage cupboard and a window servery out to the rear covered deck.

Three of the four bedrooms are also housed on this level, two of which are air-conditioned. The main bathroom which features an enclosed shower with bath base continues to pay homage to the property's era with a classic checkerboard tile pattern adorning the floor and simple subway tiles on the wall.

Up the 100-year-old timber stairs sourced from a Spring Hill property, the entire second storey of the home is dedicated to the master retreat. The space paints a magical picture with its vaulted ceilings and expansive gable windows, allowing light to beautifully filter in. Air-conditioning, a versatile loft area and an ensuite with a free-standing clawfoot bathtub add to its luxury.

The backyard is fully fenced with an abundance of greenery, gabled roof pergola, garden shed with storage loft and covered open air workshop.

A two-car carport with a storage loft above completes this bohemian paradise.

Additions to the residence were designed by Owner Bill Sanderson Slade (with the assistance of son Ben), of multi-award-winning Archetype Designs and Projects P/L. Archetype Award Winning designs include The Wild Canary Cafe at Brookfield Gardens, Units at 40 Macdonnell Street, Toowong and the residence at 43 Victoria Avenue, Chelmer to name just a few.
