Elevated Potential on Corner Site


Occupying a high-profile corner site in a desirable family-friendly neighbourhood, this attractive family home with sizeable detached sleepout has development potential. Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban and comprising a generous 796 sqm (approx.) largely flat accessible site, the opportunity to transform the block will have huge appeal to developers and investors. Conversely, families looking for a spacious home in established gardens will love the entertainment spaces and appreciate the handy accommodation bonus for teens or boarders.

The elevated brick and stucco 1950s-character home has been well-maintained and features original native timber floors in high traffic areas adding a honey-toned contrast to the crisp white modernised interior. Expansive open plan living and dining areas have French doors opening out onto a pergola alfresco area and decking with steps to safely fenced, sheltered lawns with ample space for a swimming pool. Mosaic tile splash back walls define the well-equipped contemporary kitchen where composite stone benchtops accompany ample cabinetry integrating hideaway laundry. Bedrooms share the bathroom complete with shower, floating vanity, heated ladder, and WC. The home maintains year-round warmth from the ducted heating and cooling system along with all-day sun from a north facing aspect. The sleepout studio set well away from the house has a pitched roof above slumber zone and incorporates a handy food prep area and ensuite bathroom.

The single basement garage provides off-street parking while attractively landscaped grounds feature mature trees bordering the property. In zone for Glendowie School and College - both nearby - this exceptional property is located close to foreshore walkways, both Crossfield and Roberta Reserves, as well as hugely popular Churchill Park.
