24 York Street

This character-filled 105 year old Queenslander stood in Fortitude Valley for many years before being moved and renovated in this picture-perfect, north facing, location. Whilst the beautiful refurbishment ensures that you have all the modern comforts, it hasn't come at the cost of all the classic features. High ceilings, VJ timber walls, stunning fretwork and a wrap-around verandah on three sides are amongst the wonderful heritage attributes. The home is set off the road and its elevated position backs onto a very private acreage block. The main entry welcomes you with a classic front door featuring an elegant lead light insert. All three bedrooms are spacious, air conditioned and the two front bedrooms open directly to the verandah. The main bedroom features a walk-thru robe on the way to the impressive Jack and Jill ensuite. The living room is inviting with stylish floor to ceiling book shelves and French Doors which also provide direct access to the wide verandah. The living area flows into a huge dining room which is open plan with a modern kitchen. Fans are also throughout the home and the ceilings are insulated. The kitchen has all the features that most buyers look for. The stone countertops include a large breakfast bar on the sizeable island bench. There's plenty of cupboard and drawer space, a dishwasher, 900mm electric oven and gas cooktop. The kitchen also opens directly to the verandah which is ideal for morning coffees or entertaining at any time. If you work from home you'll also appreciate the handy office nook. The street frontage has great appeal as well as great versatility. To one side of the block is a steel-framed shed which is perfect as a garage, workshop or simply for use as storage. The other side has a huge carport which can take up to four cars, shelter a large boat or a caravan. Additionally there's good access to below the home and therefore great potential to develop more on the lower level including the possibility of additional bedrooms or living spaces. 20 Kw's of Solar power is provided plus there's rainwater storage for 32,000 litres. Rainwater is plumbed to the toilets and washing machine, however the home is connected to town water. A FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) internet connection is also available. York Street is a quiet cul-de-sac with a friendly community of residents. Wallabies visit each day and you will be impressed by the array of local birdlife in this peaceful location. School buses stop at the end of the street and it's a very quick drive to the local convenience stores. Mount Crosby is known for a low crime rate, great community atmosphere and beautiful bush walks. This home is just over 30 minutes from the centre of the Brisbane CBD and around 15 minutes to the Ipswich CBD. A range of supermarkets and eateries are only minutes away plus the nearby Warrego Highway provides freeway access to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and western areas.
