11 Olmai Avenue, EASTERN HEIGHTS

INCREDIBLE CIRCA 1930 CHARACTER HOME IN UNBEATABLE LOCATION

Situated on a 665sqm allotment on leafy Olmai Avenue, this classic beauty is overflowing with charisma and charm. A paint and polish on the inside has given this grand old lady a new lease on life, while pristine character features help her to retain her old-world charm.
She will steal your hearts and smiles in a flash.

Inside you'll find a long list of features that are a throwback to a bygone era. Gleaming polished timber floors and soaring ceilings work together to create a warmth and openness that is seldom found in newer constructions. Gorgeous original stained-glass windows adorn the tongue and groove walls, and decorative fretwork sits proudly above the doorways and arches through the home.

Upstairs you will find two of the six (that's right - six!) bedrooms including the huge main bedroom, which features a beautiful bay window and accesses a sleepout running down the side of the home. This space could quite easily be converted into a walk-in wardrobe or a private study and has access to the upstairs two-way bathroom, providing you with an ensuite of sorts for the main bedroom! This bathroom has a separate bathtub and shower plus a separate toilet and services the other upstairs bedroom, which again is a great size and showcases those beautiful stained glass windows.

There is no shortage of living spaces in this home, with two generously-sized lounge rooms located upstairs plus a separate sitting area/study nook near the internal stairs. The nearby kitchen is flooded with natural light and is much larger than what you find in a modern home. In here you'll find more storage and bench space than you'll know what to do with, as well as an electric oven and a gas cooktop. This overlooks the nearby dining room, which in turn leads out to the covered rear deck. Here is where you should be entertaining your guests, where they can enjoy cooling breezes and keep an eye on the kids as they play in the rear yard. Alternatively, you can utilize the front deck that has a great outlook OR the concreted area underneath the rear deck -that's a total of three outdoor spaces for you to enjoy!

Let's take a look back inside now at what's on offer downstairs. Upon entry you're greeted by an enormous living area that is sizeable enough that it could be used as a rumpus and lounge room in one! There's an additional four bedrooms down here (all with built-in wardrobes) plus another bathroom, giving you the potential for dual-occupancy or just a separate space for teenagers / houseguests. The laundry is also located down here, which I'm sure you'll agree is an excellent size and comes well-equipped with plenty of storage space to take care of everyone's least favourite chore.

With schools, shops and public transport only minutes from this secluded pocket of Eastern Heights, I think you'll agree that the location is quite a treat. The Ipswich CBD is located within 5 minutes' drive, and for the commuters out there, Brisbane CBD is approximately 40 minutes away by car. Riverlink & Booval Fair Shopping Centres are both close by, treating you to as much retail therapy as you could possibly need. Local bus stops are well within walking distance, and electric rail access is about 5 minutes away by car. Quality public and private schools for both primary - and high-schoolers are just a short drive away, and nearby Limestone Park and Queens Park (including the Wildlife Centre!) are great places to spend lazy weekends with the kids.
