HOME SITE HAS NEVER FLOODED. Only the lower section of the yard was affected in 2011 and 1974. However, the ground floor level of the home is 12 metres in elevation above the peak of the 1974 flood. This home will NEVER flood and you won’t be cut off by flood waters either. All offers are to be submitted by 5 pm Sunday the 19th of March. Easter weekend at your new home this year. Invite all your friends and a few chosen family members to camp, kayak, and fish at your 2.5-acre inner-city riverside retreat. This magnificent Queenslander was moved here from Northgate in 1992 and boasts generous dimensions with front and side private and secure verandahs, a massive back deck overlooking the best backyard in Ipswich, 4 large bedrooms, a very roomy office, and a massive open plan dining lounge room. Below the deck is another gigantic entertainment space which is the perfect lockable secure space for a toddler's rumpus room. It's very difficult to find a character home with all this space. Plus there is an extra large kitchen with soft close drawers with smart storage drawers inside the cupboards, and gorgeous Tasmanian Oak bench tops. Add to that an enormous walk-in pantry space which could become a future butler's pantry or an ensuite and walk-in robe for the back bedroom. I could go for hours with superlatives about how good this backyard is but there is not enough space here. Also, there are a maximum amount of photos allowed in these ads so many fantastic pics were cut. Please WATCH THE VIDEO to get an idea of how special this property is. Can you imagine being only a 5-minute drive (in peak hour traffic) from the middle of the fastest-growing City in Australia but owning 2.5 acres of magical bushland and absolute riverfront? Can you imagine coming home to relax on this back deck with that incredible outlook? This home will make you happier and healthier. For example - -You could go for a quick kayak before work and you often have the entire stretch of river to yourself. - or You could meditate in the bush cave surrounded by hoop pines and silky oaks, with only the sounds of birds chirping and cicadas whirring. This is an amazingly quiet pocket of Ipswich as Moores Pocket Road in a No through-traffic street with a 40 k speed limit. You could feel like you are on holiday at a bush retreat every day for the rest of your life.
