17 Devoy Street

A white picket fence frames this freshly painted, low-maintenance, Queenslander cottage, inviting you into a world of timeless charm, on an easy-care 365sqm freehold block in the heart of Ashgrove. Step inside this charming home and the character of another era reveals itself with quiet confidence. On entry, the weatherproof, enclosed, front verandah stretches wide and welcoming, a room unto itself, equally suited to morning coffee, or a quiet evening tipple. Polished timber floors carry you forward through rooms shaped by high ceilings, VJ-lined walls, and the gentle geometry of French doors, period details that have endured not merely because they are beautiful, but because they are simply right. The generously-proportioned living and dining areas flow naturally from the verandah, inviting both intimate evenings and easy entertaining. A large eat-in kitchen, refreshed with a brand-new Bosch oven and dishwasher, flows from the dining room and opens through French doors onto the private covered back deck, perfect for alfresco dining. Steps lead to a tranquil courtyard perfect for pets or child's play. Four bedrooms feature throughout the home, whilst a versatile retreat off the master bedroom, also accessible from the hall, lends itself equally to a parents' sanctuary, a home office, a quiet study, or a children's haven. It is the kind of thoughtful space that adapts gracefully to every stage of life and adds so much Queenslander charm to the home. 2 bathrooms complete the utility of the home, one located off the dining space, complete with bath ... and the other, adjacent to the retreat.
