31 Herbert Street, SADLIERS CROSSING
CHARMING CHARACTER HOME - INNER-CITY LIVING ON 2,403SQM
As Queensland's oldest provincial city, Ipswich has a rich history and is renowned for its architectural and cultural heritage. Sitting behind a traditional picket fence, on an impressive 2,403sqm allotment minutes from the hub of our great city, this masterfully-restored Queenslander embodies all of the qualities that homes in Ipswich are known for, without compromising on convenience.
Here you will find a grand old lady with all of the character and charm of a bygone era. Her unmatched street appeal is complimented perfectly by the generously-proportioned front verandah, where you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings with your morning cup of coffee in hand.
The lounge room sits adjacent to the entry of the home, showcasing the gorgeous character features to their fullest extent. Tongue and groove walls, gleaming timber floors and soaring ceilings are welcomed features throughout, creating a sense of spacious living and openness that is rarely found in more contemporary designs; the decorative fretwork and stained glass windows are sure to delight those with a discerning eye.
Split system air conditioning keeps this space, and the nearby dining room, in climate controlled comfort which forms the unofficial heart of the home. The kitchen sits beyond the dining room, and comes well-equipped with all that is required to put a smile on the face of its resident chef. There is an oversupply of storage including a double-door pantry, and the gorgeous stone benchtops are the perfect addition to any kitchen. The island bench incorporates a breakfast bar for informal dining, and the gas cooktop, electric wall oven and dishwasher all work together to make preparation and clean up as easy as possible.
There are four bedrooms in total, two with built in wardrobes and all four featuring split system air conditioners and beautiful sash windows. The bedrooms are very generously sized, as is typical in homes of this era, and stunning timber French doors open out from the master bedroom to the front verandah. Servicing the home is a spacious bathroom, where you will find a shower-over-bathtub arrangement, a twin-sink vanity, a chute leading to the downstairs laundry and a separate toilet. Those wanting a home office could easily make use of the sleepout accessed via the dining room, which in turn accesses that lovely front verandah.
Located beneath the home is an air conditioned utility room that could be used as a home gym or perhaps an office space, completely separate from the main living areas. With access directly from the exterior of the home, this room would be ideal for running a home-based business. The laundry is also located downstairs with a second toilet, next to an open-air entertainment space that easily accommodates a full-sized pool table. For outdoor entertaining you can make use of the gazebo in the rear yard, where an Italian wood-fire pizza oven beckons and you'll be treated to an amazing outlook. The sheer size of the yard lends itself to a number of possible uses, including installing a swimming pool or a shed (STCA).
The Thomas Street train station is an easy walk from the home. Quality schools, public transport and the retail centre of West Ipswich are all also within walking distance, with Riverlink Shopping Centre, the Ipswich Mall and electric rail access just a little bit further. The commute to the heart of Brisbane CBD takes approximately 45 minutes, making this home ideal for those who want easy access to the state capital.
The convenience afforded from this sizeable allotment, combined with its zoning of CHM (Character Housing Mixed Density), gives this property unique development potential. Those wishing to investigate this avenue should speak directly with the Ipswich City Council to find out more about possible uses for the land.
Style, space, sophistication this beautifully restored circa 1913 masterpiece has these qualities in abundance, conveniently located only a few minutes from the city centre and amenities. Call to arrange an inspection before you miss your opportunity.
