Another Great Result by Kim Ridings!

Uncover the charm of this enchanting colonial family home in Herston, available for the first time since 1978 and one of the area's original residences. Nestled on a stunning 784m² (LMR zoning) parcel of land, this property is a rare gem. Bring your vision and updates to restore it to its former glory while embracing its unique character. Full access to the backyard is available, making it convenient for future upgrades, a granny flat, or a huge shed/workshop for extra vehicles.

The northeast-facing backyard is a peaceful oasis, perfect for unwinding after a busy day. A refreshing, private swimming pool sits at the front, while a large back deck (in need of some TLC) and a north-facing side verandah - accessible through French doors from the living areas - capture cooling summer breezes and warm winter sun, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings. With these multiple spaces, everyone in the family can enjoy their private retreats.

Inside, the home features two bathrooms, including a convenient utility bathroom on the lower level, a separate arched lounge and dining area with French doors to the verandah, polished floorboards, VJ walls, original fretwork, and high ceilings. The retro-style kitchen is accompanied by an informal dining area. With four spacious bedrooms, some opening to the verandah through French doors, there's plenty of room to spread out. The home also offers ample storage, legal head height underneath, and approximately 256m² of total space, presenting fantastic potential for future development.

Ideally situated near the vibrant Victoria Park development, Royal Brisbane Hospital, and within the Kelvin Grove State College catchment, this home provides easy access to QUT Kelvin Grove Campus and Kelvin Grove Village. Just 2.5 km from the city centre and with convenient train and bus transport options nearby, you'll enjoy the perfect blend of urban convenience and "homestead" living for the whole family.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to make this character-filled family home your own!
