16 Douglas Street, Enoggera, QLD 4051

Take a look at this rare property ? a solid house in an upmarket suburb with the opportunity to renovate into a stunning family home or build two houses across the two lots*.

This traditional high-set home is located on a quiet street and the white picket fence offers delightful street presence. The covered front portico leads into the well-maintained home. Note the timeless motifs such as decorative cornicing, picture rails and sleek timber floors.

The kitchen, living room and dining room all offer plenty of space and natural light abounds in these relaxing areas. Off the living-room is a tranquil sunroom which gives further space for families to spread out. The country-style kitchen has plenty of bench-space and a breakfast-bar island for the whole family, plus a useful walk-in pantry.

There are three well-sized bedrooms upstairs, two with air-conditioning, while the spacious Master suite also boasts a wall-to-wall built-in wardrobe. A family bathroom boasts full bath-tub and large vanity, plus there is a separate powder-room. There is even a useful study area for kids.

To the rear of the house is a broad covered deck, which makes an ideal entertaining area when guests are over. Perfect for an afternoon barbeque, the deck has stairs leading down to the pristine rear garden. This is a quiet and private space, offering a lush, flat lawn and flower-beds to keep green-thumbs busy. There is also a good double carport and garage (currently used as a workshop) to the rear of the property.

The ground-level of the house is a cool oasis which boasts a huge, light-filled multi-purpose room. Tiled underfoot, and with private access to the gardens, this space can be set up as a separate area for longer-term visitors. There is a tidy shower-room with toilet on this level as well as the laundry and additional storage. A practical kitchenette also offers more options for this area.

Of course, if you are looking for a blank canvas, you can plan a stunning new family home - or divide the property into its two lots ready to build two executive homes*. With a current tenant paying $835 per week the house would bring in a steady income stream while you plan the future. The rear of the property is subject to possible overland flow, leaving a reasonable building envelope at the front of the block*.

Ideally positioned in an exclusive suburb, Brisbane CBD only a ten minute drive, or take the train, bus or bike to work. Amenities abound with the Ashgrove Shopping Precinct just down the road, while the Banks Street Reserve, Dorrington Park, and both Ashgrove and Keperra Golf Clubs offer a return to nature and relaxation. The house falls within Enoggera State School and Everton Park High School catchments, and is close to Hillbrook and other renowned schools. This home is a rare gem that could be transformed or developed into one or two stunning properties*.
