Elegant and Character Rich Paddington Colonial on 810m2

Step back in time with this magnificent 1890’s era colonial Queenslander, occupying an 810m2 block (2 lots) in a superb Paddington location. The home enjoys a perfect northerly aspect to the rear and conveniently has two street access, delivering exciting possibilities for future enhancements.

The classically beautiful property has only had three owners in its life and has been a much-loved family home to the current custodians for almost 40 years. It has a wonderful street presence; the quintessential colonial symmetry matched by formal landscaping and majestic palm trees. A deep wrap around veranda skirts the property, creating a pleasant spot to sit and catch the breeze. The home feels elegant and is rich with character. The hallway is wide and welcoming and the ceilings soar more than 3-metres.

There is a formal sitting room and what would once have been a veranda at the rear has been enclosed to create a popular casual living zone. There is a formal dining room and a contemporary kitchen, which boasts a freestanding Ilve cooker with double ovens and practical stainless benches that will be loved by keen cooks. The kitchen has easy access to the partially enclosed side veranda, creating lovely indoor/outdoor flow and an ideal spot for everyday meals.

There are four bedrooms; including two on entry that have superb double hung sash windows accessing the verandah. One of the front bedrooms has charming decorative stencils on the wall that were uncovered during a renovation and are attributed to the very first owners of the home - a delightful legacy from the past that has been restored and preserved.

There is also plenty of room for cars to park off street. The sizeable backyard and easy access via Devon Street delivers enormous possibility – add a swimming pool, or extend the house. (STCA) In this location and with perfect orientation it’s hard to go wrong.

The property is in one of Paddington’s most admired Terraces; a street that is home to multi-million dollar homes. It is a family friendly precinct and there are numerous schools nearby, including Ithaca Creek State School. It is also close to the cafe and retail strip of Latrobe Terrace and enjoys easy access to the CBD.

Character homes of this calibre on 810m2 blocks are highly desirable and eagerly sought after – don’t miss the opportunity to secure this one for your future and become only the fourth owner of this glorious property.
