Beautiful Characteristic Home in Prime Location, on Massive R20 1052m2 Block!
Welcome to this amazing three-bedroom, one-bathroom home built in 1957 and placed on a massive 1,052 square metre block in the heart of Redcliffe. It is not often that such a good quality home on this size block comes on to the market, and with the extra features that this home possesses (external shed area with undercover patio/side access down lane to rear yard/internal robes just to name a few of the features!) this home is certainly one to not miss out on. Best of all, this home currently has a zoning of R20 - and may be possible to subdivide (potential to approval). With gorgeous front gardens and a huge rear yard, a large living space, and enormous potential, this home certainly has a lot of worth - will you be the new owner?

Drive up to the front of this home and enjoy the drive-through access along the whole side of the home to the backyard and rear shed. The home is a partially rendered brick and metal build which presents vibrantly in its current green paintwork. The home is set back from the road behind trees and a fence provides additional security. The entrance to the house itself is enclosed underneath the main roof of the home giving you weather protection brining in the shopping – or an exciting building envelope to re-design, renovate and make your own!
Step inside the front door and walk across timber floor-boards through a surprisingly large open living space. There’s wooden mantle that runs the length of the room with a fireplace space marking the centre (currently has an electric heater installed inside). The walls for this front living space are a lovely sky blue with ornate cornice patterns matching the feature light fittings. Will you keep the lovely retro-stylings when you re-design, or go for something more modern? A truly sensational feature of this space is the wall cut-out between the kitchen and the living space enabling vibrant connection between the preparation of food and it’s enjoyment.
The kitchen is framed around a large L-shaped benchtop that contains a metal sink and large amount of cabinetry – perfect for storage and ensuring your kitchen space runs smoothly. There’s a window above the sink, and a cut-in for the oven space meaning you can either utilise the electric oven currently installed or place your own to complete whatever kitchen vision you have in mind! The flooring here is also timber floor-boards meaning that once polished and highlighted the space will look incredible!
The bedrooms are decent sizes, both with a large window and carpet flooring. There are plenty of power-points around to aide with your electronics requirements, tall ceilings, and enough space to utilise each room fully and comfortably.
The bathroom is a bright and vibrant lavender pink – with separate bath and shower, feature tiling in the shower and flanking around to greet the vanity, and a tall ceiling with purple cornices too. Flowing out to the rear sleep-out – there’s a good amount of space here and it could be converted into a third bedroom. There’s a laundry area here, a gently sloping ceiling, access to the main house as well as the backyard, and large windows that draw plenty of natural light into the home. Enjoy wooden French-style double doors that open up to the backyard patio.
Stepping onto the patio – it’s a tidy construction with cream paved flooring and a good amount of usable space before you reach the massive backyard.
The backyard is open and yours for the taking – how will you utilise this excellent space? Green grass flows all the way around the property, with a scattering of trees and garden beds to round out the area. SCA-DA6 zoning from the City of Belmont (best to get in touch with them to determine all the development possibilities here) provides an awesome amount of development potential subject to council approval. Properties with such potential coupled with large, open spaces are rare – don’t miss out!
The home is located in northern Redcliffe, mere houses down from Great Eastern Highway. This results in a prime commuting location – swift to access both routes to the city and Tonkin Highway for north or south travels. Local schools include Redcliffe Primary School and St Maria Goretti’s Catholic School. This home would be sensational for those who need to commute thousands of kilometres too (such as FIFO workers) with the airport a very short drive (or walk!). Costco and DFO are both nearby shopping options – this home’s location brings a new meaning to convenience!
Don’t miss out on this exciting Redcliffe opportunity.
