Overview

Endless Potential in a Prime Position

Positioned in a quiet, wide, tree-lined street directly opposite parklands, this charming late 1960s home presents an outstanding opportunity to secure a structurally sound property with genuine renovation potential in one of Raceview's most sought-after pockets.

Set on a flood-free 607 square meter block, the home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner for over 30 years and now offers the perfect canvas for a thoughtful modern makeover. Whether you are a renovator, first-home buyer, or investor seeking opportunity, this property allows you to add your own vision and truly make it shine.

Inside, the residence retains much of its original character with solid timber floors, high ceilings, and multiple living zones throughout. A large, renovated kitchen serves as an excellent starting point, while the original bathroom provides scope for future updates. The enclosed front sunroom adds valuable extra living space and could easily be extended to the lounge room or converted into a playroom or home office.

Step outside to the fully enclosed and screened deck, a versatile area ideal for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or providing a safe play space for children and pets. The high-clearance carport easily accommodates a caravan, boat, or truck, while the shed offers additional storage and practicality.

Key features include three bedrooms, one bathroom plus an additional toilet, and one car accommodation. The property is built on a flood-free 607 square meter block with strong foundations and excellent bones from the late 1960s. It is situated directly opposite parklands in a quiet Raceview street, featuring beautiful solid timber floors and a large renovated kitchen. The bathroom is fully functional but ready for future updates, with a second toilet located off the laundry. Updated shutters provide privacy and character, and multiple living zones include the enclosed front sunroom. The fully enclosed and screened deck offers extra living and entertaining space, complemented by a high-clearance carport suitable for larger vehicles and a shed for additional storage. Solar panels are installed to help reduce electricity costs. This property offers excellent renovation potential with scope for further enhancement, subject to council approval, making it ideal for renovators, first-home buyers, and investors.

Location highlights include being in the catchment area for Raceview State School and Bremer State High School, close proximity to Ipswich Grammar School, Ipswich Girls' Grammar School, St Edmund's College, and St Mary's College. It is just minutes from Ipswich Hospital and offers convenient access to Riverlink Shopping Centre, public transport, and the Cunningham Highway.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a home or investment with space, practicality, and renovation upside in a highly convenient location.
