QUEENSLANDER CHARM IN PERFECT POSITION
This picturesque 1940’s Queenslander is high on the hill, on a quiet street in one of Annerley’s most sought-after pockets. Within walking distance to major shopping precincts, cafes, public transport and all major transportation routes to the CBD, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, M7 and M1 motorways – but in this tranquil abode, you will only hear the sounds of birds in the trees from the top or bottom deck of this absolutely stunning, private and serene property.
From the moment you arrive at the front door, you will see all the hallmark features of a character home with the solid wood front door, weatherboards and front porch. Walking through the formal entrance hall brings you to a sizeable open-plan lounge and dining area with direct access to an entertainer’s kitchen where you can serve either directly to the dining room, or through French doors, onto the spacious back deck.
While there are two bedrooms and a modern, family bathroom upstairs, there is also space downstairs which is just shy of legal height; a very functional teenager’s retreat with walk-in robe, over-sized rumpus room, home office space and large laundry complete with shower and toilet. This means that you have lots of extra space for your family to enjoy now, with the option to make slight adjustments in the future to make these spaces meet regulation (STCA).

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Annerley has enjoyed a renaissance in the last decade with young families and professionals flocking to the inner southern suburb which is only 5km (8 minutes’ drive) from the CBD. With Woolworths only a short walk away, along with the Annerley Junction shopping district, you’ll never need to leave your suburb for great shopping, cafes and services – if you haven’t been to Café O Mai (350m away from your doorstep), you are missing out on one of Brisbane’s finest brunch locales!
Public transport is one of this area’s strong points, as is the connectivity to major arterial roads and freeways. The South & North entrance to the South East Freeway as well as the entrance to the Clem 7 are all approx. 4 minutes away, and buses run every 10 minutes from Ipswich Road which can take you into the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Woolloongabba, South Bank, Brisbane CBD and Fortitude Valley. The Active Travel Veloway for cycling through Arnwood Place into many of the same locations, and the Greenslopes busway is a short distance and provides very regular frequency.
In the catchment for two of the area’s most sought-after state schools, Yeronga State School and Yeronga State High School as well as close by to prestigious private schooling options, and only a short bus ride to the University of Queensland, Griffith University and Queensland University of Technology.
