21 Faucett Street, Mitchelton QLD 4053

It's one of those suburbs that doesn't really exist anymore, but Oxford Park is known by locals to be one of the most esteemed property 'hot-spots' on Brisbane's inner North. Situated on a large 597m2 corner allotment, this original high-set brick residence is a rare find that provides plenty of options for those with a little imagination. You'll find Faucett Street and be immediately impressed with the quality of homes in this wonderfully leafy and elevated street – some of the properties here do provide city views so those with an eye for detail will realise it's a great street to buy into. Faucett street was blocked at one end many years ago, thus ensuring no passing traffic but your convenience is assured given your driveway runs straight off Blaker Road…and there's obviously options here for a two-street access so this is yet another key feature of this property. Oxford Park Train Station is right over the road – is there a better way to get to the CBD than wander a mere 30 metres from your front door and you'll find yourself at Central Station in less than 20 minutes. And the conveniences don't stop there – you're a short stroll to the Blackwood Street café precinct and Brookside Shopping Centre whilst you're only 25 minutes from the Brisbane airport. So the location is 'blue chip', the position is 'ultra-handy' and now let's have a look at the property… You'll head up the front porch (with a privately screened area that's partially undercover) and open the front door to discover the spacious air-conditioned lounge room…and right from the outset, you'll notice the lofty 9 foot ceilings that provide a real 'light and airy' feeling.. Now we're not going to lie – this abode is in original condition and requires a little 'TLC' but structurally it looks good and the cavity brick façade means it's low maintenance. As you head through the lounge room, you'll discover the dining area as you head right into the kitchen that offers a 4-burner gas stove and oven, lots of cupboards and plenty of space for a double door fridge – just imagine what you could do with this room if you chose to renovate? There's three bedrooms that are all very large in size – two of which offer built-in robes and one of these also provides air-conditioning. The bathroom features a shower and vanity whilst there's a separate toilet as well. Head out to the rear porch, down the stairs at the back and underneath the home, you'll find the laundry area and spacious single garage. There's a huge amount of storage area underneath and as you'll see when you're here, the concrete pillars seem to be in good order and there's hardwood timber framing throughout – a sturdy construction in anyone's language. The yard is a fabulous blend of open grassy areas and a selection of leafy trees – it's very usable yet very private at the same time. If you're observant, you'll see the additional fencing that divides the yard into two sections – perfect for dogs and kids. Given this is a post-war home, it can be knocked down should you choose to build your dream residence – after all, opportunities are few and far between to acquire a decent 597m2 allotment with two-street access in the area. The potential here is endless but one thing's for sure – there's very few chances to buy into this gorgeous suburb in this price range now – don't miss out!
