This home has dual private access points, as downstairs is self-contained living, including two bedrooms with built-in robes, bathroom with a bathtub, new shower and separate toilet, and an exclusive back terrace with full privacy screens. Long, wide benchtops and plenty of cupboards adorn the spacious kitchen, which is brightly lit with huge windows and modern downlights. Split-system air conditioning cools the main bedroom and tiled combined lounge and dining area, and there are ceiling fans throughout. The shared laundry on this level also has a second toilet attached, and the internal staircase could be secured to completely separate the two storeys. This space would be ideal for extended family or guests, or could be rented out for an additional income. Upstairs sees a generous living and dining room, which flows out onto the huge 32m2 entertainer's deck. The kitchen offers some exceptional personal touches, with its exquisite cabinetry designed with hand-pressed metal detailing on the doors - these antique pieces were formerly the ceiling of the old Childers Palace Backpacker Hostel! In the centre of the kitchen is a beautiful pine butcher's block, hand crafted by a carpenter and certainly one of a kind. Two of the three bedrooms open out onto the lattice-screened front deck, and all three contain built-in robes. The entirety of the upstairs space has ducted air-conditioning and ceiling fans. This beautiful property is set on a quiet street, and features a low-maintenance yard and double lock-up garage accessed along the side of the house. This unique 1950-built five bedroom home offers a rare encounter with history, enhanced by modern conveniences, in a prime spot barely a stone's throw from the Kedron Brook bikeways, playgrounds and parks. Wide doorways, large windows, VJ walls and ceilings throughout add character reminiscent of the old Queenslanders, and the contemporary luxuries within make this remarkable home perfectly liveable in elegance and comfort year-round.
