Description
Gorgeous character home, sought after position, high on the north east side of Sparks hill, expansive views extend to the sand hills on Moreton island.
Positioned for the perfect aspect - sea breezes and no late western sun, sheltered from the storms that occasionally sweep in from the west.
Adjacent to the walking tracks through Sparks hill reserve with acres of native bush extending down to Kedron brook and kilometres of cycle tracks.
Same owner for the last 29 years - you will love this house and the area.
Carefully maintained, all the original Art Deco fittings, ornate ceilings original kitchen, and bathroom with seperate shower and bath in excellent condition, this home is a time capsule.
Just 16 minutes from the CBD, walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, buses and more yet very quiet and secluded position.
Featuring combined lounge dining with seperate eat in kitchen, a seperate formal entrance and hallway,
3 bedrooms and bathroom with seperate shower and bath.
Downstairs there is a utility room which has been used as a laundry and bonus seperate utility room which has been used as a workshop and other storage areas.
Originally built by a local builder for his family this home has interesting features that set it apart including -
2.7m high fibrous plaster ceilings with ornate cornices and an open fireplace with shute to external ash collection door.
Polished hardwood floors throughout and double cavity brick construction, all internal walls are plaster over brick which keeps the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter, current owner has never found the need to air condition.
The double brick with cavity between construction not only provides excellent thermal insulation it makes the house very soundproof, not only from outside but between rooms.
It also means there is no timber framing so termites are not the same threat.
Plenty of options for the new owner - live in as is, renovate or even add a seperate pavilion at the rear and relocate kitchen and dining to capitalise on the views, this would allow the possibility of going up another level with a flat roof pitch.
22 McCawley Street Stafford (Sparks Hill) 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house with 1 car garage and generous carport (2 large cars or 4 small) land size 607 square meters.
