Magnificent 1927 Quintessential Queenslander nestled on 1070sqm in the heart of Indooroopilly
Set high and proud in blue-chip Indooroopilly, enjoy this captivating home that offers the discerning buyer a taste of the high-life. A two-level home with timeless Queenslander features, there’s plenty of space for extended family to live, play and celebrate the fantastic Brisbane lifestyle.
Drift through the private front garden which captures natural evening light, to enter this traditional double-gabled timber home through an expansive, airy front deck – an ideal haven for coffee and conversation. Moving inside, the upper-level opens onto a broad, cool lounge area, flooded with light through the French doors. Classic polished timber flooring complements traditional VJ walls and 3m corniced ceilings. The timber architrave ushers in an open-plan dining and kitchen space with ample size for culinary masters – including an excellent butler’s pantry. Opportunity abounds to update as a contemporary design while retaining the stunning bush view over the rear tennis court and fire pit retreat.
A grand front bedroom - awash with natural light – includes a delightful bay window. The large Master retreat retains classic features including VJ walls, and private access to an upper-level bathroom, boasting a tidy shower cubicle, toilet and vanity with storage. The Master suite includes a spacious dressing-room, which could easily be utilised as a nursery or sunroom if preferred. A third bedroom includes vintage timber flooring, louvred windows to catch the breeze and options to configure as a home office or reading room.
Head downstairs to the cool, quiet lower level with stylish terracotta tiling underfoot. There is a big rumpus room, perfect as a teenage retreat or relaxed family room. Two great bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobe) offer space and separation for families, plus the ‘Jack and Jill’ shared bathroom is a real bonus. The laundry is also fitted with shower and toilet – very handy when guests are visiting. There is even a large gym/yoga retreat/workshop on this level.
Outside are private and secure rear gardens and the stunning tennis court area – a rarity nowadays. Enjoy this superb facility with family and friends throughout the year, or perhaps include a swimming-pool and play area. Hidden away to the rear of the lush garden is a quaint dining and picnic spot, perfect for luxuriating in the summer with strawberries and cream, or on cooler evenings enjoy the warmth of a fire-pit. A double carport, additional back yard patio, useful garden shed and extra storage under the front verandah ensures the house is never too crowded. Newly installed is 6.65kw of Solar panels, with timer and grid booster over-ride - this will slash your power bills.
The current owner of 25 years has meticulously restored and hand-painted the house from roof to slab. The extra heavy gauge, hail-secure roof is rustproofed inside and out and finished in ‘Vivid White’. The ‘Paperbark’ exterior blends beautifully with the ‘Classic White’ interior. East-west orientation optimises prevailing wind and weather conditions ensuring maximum enjoyment of sunrise and sunsets and solar hot water is installed with plentiful space for further panels. Having withstood Brisbane droughts, fires and floods, the property is a secure investment in your future, or split the lot to develop two superb properties (STCA).
Beyond the property’s magnetic appeal, buyers will feel the buzz and vibe of Indooroopilly’s top-quality shopping centre (just minutes walk away), convenient medical and dental facilities, well-equipped fitness centres, hideaway restaurants, bars and quaint coffee shops. Easy access to Brisbane CBD with excellent public transport options - bus stops just 3 minutes walk, and Indooroopilly train station a 15 minute relaxed stroll. Leave the car at home and take advantage of the dedicated bike paths out to Jindalee, to Mt Coo-Tha and the Botanical Gardens, and into Brisbane City centre.
The property falls within the catchments of the highly-regarded Indooroopilly State School and Indooroopilly State High School catchments and is close to schools such as Brisbane Boys College, Ambrose Treacy College and Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology. It is also an easy bike ride or quick drive to the University of Queensland campus.
Classic properties of such size, quality and privacy are increasingly rare, and with so many options for families, investors and developers, the appeal is undeniable. Don’t miss your forever home at 18 Usher Street, Indooroopilly!
