AN OUTSTANDING 817M2 IN BLUE RIBBON POCKET

"Woodlands" on Blackwood Street is an address with a story to tell. Held by five generations since 1875, it was moved to this location from Spring Hill in the 1920s with substantial alterations made to suit, at that time, high levels of comfortable family living.

The existing property would make a wonderful renovation project for those who adore character. Alternatively, this generous 817m2 block boasts a wide approximately 20.2m frontage and has subdivision potential (with council approval).
Perhaps, many options are available. It could be divided into two lots with the option to: remove the house and build a modern address on an oversized block, slide the original home to one side, renovate, and sell the extra vacant block, or construct two completely new homes. All options are on the table - STCA.

The craftsmanship, quality and timeless architectural features of the original home remain and await the astute buyer who will joyfully bring this home into the new decade. It features wide chamfer boards, a peaceful front deck and VJ walls throughout, which could all remain highlights in your new renovation. You will also discover 6-inch wide, hoop pine timber floors under the carpet throughout, just waiting to be revealed and polished! The home has a generous living and dining area, a separate sleepout, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.

Outside is a large, flat backyard which will be ideal for an extension, veranda or a pool to be added (STCA). Under the home is loads of extra storage, a lock-up garage, a carport and a laundry.

You are securing a cherished family home that was truly loved by generations, set in a peaceful neighbourhood in a blue-ribbon pocket of Brisbane.

You will love this highly connected location with Sherwood Woolworths, cafes, medical services and amenities all close by. It is moments from Sherwood State School and Corinda State High School, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, St Aidan's Anglican Girls' School, St Peters Lutheran College, and the University of Queensland. On weekends enjoy the leafy parks, spaces to walk the dog, sporting clubs, paths along the Brisbane River and the Sherwood Arboretum. Brisbane's CBD is within 10km and can be reached by car, bus or Sherwood train station.
