5 Elliott Street Hawthorne QLD 4171
A quintessential Queenslander in the heart of Hawthorne, where the best of the suburb's cafes, boutiques and parks are only metres away, as is a CityCat into Brisbane's CBD. This gorgeous character home, on a prime corner 422sq m parcel of riverside precinct land, offers a plethora of opportunities beyond its current form.
As it stands is a mostly original two-bedroom, one-bathroom single-level home, perched on stilts, and framed by a quaint timber picket fence. Beyond a front deck in the shade of large mature trees, a set of front steps leads into an interior of soaring 3.1m-high ceilings, VJ walls, original timber floors, period and stained glass windows and architraves, and French doors.
The central kitchen is the heart of this welcoming home, a more contemporary space of stainless benchtops, gas cooking, and ample storage. It services an open-plan living/dining area and adjacent north-facing covered timber entertaining deck which overlooks the yard below.
A generous primary bedroom features a bay window seat and French doors, with an additional bedroom is both light-filled and well-sized. The spacious main bathroom has a dual-sink stainless steel vanity and beautiful feature tile flooring. There's also a large sunroom that would make for an ideal study/home office, or a nursery alongside the primary bedroom.
The clincher is the future return on offer here, as there's a lapsed DA for commercial use which reflects opportunity beyond residential gain. Keen renovators will appreciate the location, being a gateway to the exclusive Hawthorne avenues, and the aspect of impressive city views if the house was to be raised (STCA). Alternatively, young families and couples can comfortably reside in this Queenslander as is, while enjoying a friendly village-like lifestyle unlike any other in Brisbane.
