Located within 10kms of Brisbane's CBD, this substantial 1126m2 block with an incredible and historical residence on, offers immense potential to the savvy buyer. The potential exists to split the block, which is currently on two lots or retain the current large land parcel and modernise the existing dwelling even further. Either way, the site is not protetcted by Charachter overlay and there are multiple opportunities to create the home you love.
"Inuba" circa 1905, a grand classic Federation Colonial residence, prominent and historic in Wavell Heights. Perched high on a hill, it originally had views from Moreton Bay to Brisbane City and occupied a little under 2 acres of land which was divided in the 1950's into smaller surrounding allotments. The current owners are the fourth to occupy this remarkable residence.
Entry via the front staircase leads to an expansive verandah, which originally wrapped part of both sides of the home. The solid front door encased by frosted glass leads to a 10m hallway with 3.4 metre ceiling, Georgian archway and Hoop Pine flooring. Off to the left is the stunning main bedroom with walls of lead light windows and also a front bay window. A modern ensuite filled with natural light completes this parents retreat.
On the opposite side of the hallway a large living room, also with bay windows leads through to a powder room. You'll love entertaining in the expansive dining room with original Mahogany fireplace.
Offering five bedrooms and two bathrooms all on one level, plus a third bathroom and multiple utility spaces (not legal height) and laundry downstairs. Accommodation for three vehicles undercover plus many more off street. The land size the property sits on is 1126m2 (23m x 49m approximately) and is located within 10kms of Brisbane's CBD. It is relatively flat, and set high off Rode Road. Additionally, the property has no character overlay and consequently allows for a wide range of options (S.T.C.A.).
With expansive grounds, the opportunities are endless, the current owners had plans to move the property forward on the block, and raise it to 10m (approved), intending to build in underneath allowing for a modern floor plan, and adding a pool. If you've been looking for a grand home, on a large block, with immense potential, don't miss this unique opportunity.
