68 Fernvale Rd

A genuine 1950s character home on a rare 1,310 square metre block, offered vacant and ready to move into. That's close to double a standard Brassall lot and more land than almost anything for sale in the suburb under $900,000. Original hardwood timber floors run right through it, behind a quaint white picket fence. The character is genuine: high ceilings, original casement windows, a large eat-in kitchen with loads of storage, and front and back verandas. Inside are three bedrooms (two with ceiling fans, one with built-ins), split-system air conditioning, a family bathroom with the original pastel tiles, and a second toilet off the large laundry. Out the back, a 6 by 6 metre double lock-up shed with drive-through side access for the tools, the cars, or the boat and trailer. The generous block is where the value is. There's room to extend, add a pool or put in a granny flat down the track (subject to council), which the smaller blocks on the market don't offer. Move in now, lease it out, or renovate over time. Great for families with kids in school: Brassall State School and Ipswich State High are both walkable and both in catchment. The Mihi Tavern is about 500 metres away, the local IGA a couple of minutes, and Brassall Shopping Centre (Woolworths, Aldi and specialty stores) about three minutes. Ipswich CBD and Riverlink are roughly eight minutes, and Wulkuraka Station, with trains to Brisbane, about five.
