175 James St, New Farm is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1900. The property has a land size of 440m2 and floor size of 75m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2017.
This elevated Colonial was originally built in the early 20th century and has undergone various ad on's and additions without ever losing its charm, warmth and street presence.
The beautifully restored cottage is a perfect marriage of livability and upside renovation potential. Downstairs is more than legal height (approx 2.7m) and is ripe for a quick build with the option of perhaps having it as a stand alone space or with internal stairs to connect both levels of living.
Options of running a business downstairs whilst living upstairs can and do exist considering the car parking spaces to the rear of the property. Upstairs is already very livable so build in comfort- an extension with potential city views is a further value add option if you so wished to explore.
Upstairs is beautifully original with soaring 3m high ceilings, VJ's, sash windows and designer cornice work. Its a perfect size for entry level couples to kick off their portfolio here in 4005 but to also add value when the time is right.
Located on the ever vibrant James Street and across the road from a Yoga and beauty parlor, you won't only look fabulous but you'll feel fabulous living in Brisbane's most sought after post code. A huge grassed are out back offers a space for animals, kids and or entertaining- there's even room for a pool!
