NEW FARM QLD 4005

Perched high on a hill with a north easterly aspect this house is located in the 'Paris' end of Harcourt street just two blocks from the ever evolving James street - Emporium shopping areas and the same distance from the future Newstead River Park precinct.

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, two sitting rooms, kitchen and kitchenette downstairs this versatile family home can be maintained as a house with two bedroom guest accommodations below or joined to create a huge family home. Held by the same family for almost 14 years the home has many of the character features typical of houses built in 1886 such as high ceilings, decorative fretwork, honey gold hoop pine polished floors, double hung walk through windows, wrought iron balustrading, two working fire places and claw foot bath.

The kitchen with Sydney blue gum bench tops and stainless steel appliances and range hood, is perfectly fine while you contemplate adding your own stamp. Particularly good for small children and entertaining the kitchen and deck flow directly on to the back lawn creating a huge and secure private outdoor area.

The verdant back yard has a big old Jacaranda tree surrounded by many rare rainforest species, a lemon tree laden with fruit and a grass tree. With direct rear access to Small Street, subdivision is possible, however, there is also room to fully landscape the back and add a pool to create a magnificent inner city hideaway. Recently re-roofed, insulated and air-conditioned the house is very comfortable and attracts afternoon river breezes from the river which can be glimpsed from Small Street.

A home that you will fall in love with.
