119 Bilsen Road

Wavell Heights QLD 4012

Bridging the gap between the simplicity and strength of the 1950's and the expectations for larger lifestyle homes today, is a major goal of many renovators. This classic example of a post war Brisbane home fits the brief perfectly and is worthy of inspection, consideration and excitement. Whilst this style of home was often smaller than we expect today, 119 Bilsen Rd has already been extended which means great opportunity exists to create uplift on the larger block of land in an advantageous position.
The structure is sound, honest and if anything overstated with an abundance of hardwood timbers visible to the eye. Whilst the home can do with some modernisation, its extended and easy floor plan opens up obvious possibilities to bring it into the 21st century. The rear extension opens through an internal staircase to a substantial utility area with great potential (2.46m floor to beams) due to the gentle slope of the land. The front sun room would make a perfect robe and ensuite for the main bedroom and the family room at the rear could easily be opened to a north-east facing deck with breezes and views to the airport and Nudgee Beach in the distance.
Built to exacting standards in 1950 and retained in the same family for over 70 years to today, the home retains many of its original features including external weatherboard timber cladding, casement windows and hardwood timber floors.
