Alderley, QLD 4051

Positioned on a substantial parcel of land in one of Alderley's most desirable pockets, this beautifully renovated pre-1946 Queenslander offers exceptional scale and character just 5km from the Brisbane CBD. This large family home combines timeless charm with generous living spaces, dual living potential, and valuable LMR2-3 zoning, providing outstanding future development opportunities without Demolition Control Precinct restrictions.

Large Queenslanders of this size and presence near the city are increasingly rare. The home features abundant internal and external living areas with natural light and high ceilings, thoughtfully transformed through a comprehensive renovation. The residence blends classic Queenslander warmth with modern comforts, having undergone full internal and external repainting, a new kitchen, renovated bathrooms on both levels, a brand new laundry, new carpet throughout, updated lighting, ceiling fans in bedrooms, new blinds, roof insulation, and professionally completed front fence, landscaping, and gardens. The home is move-in ready, allowing new owners to settle in immediately.

Designed for growing families, the spacious floorplan offers multiple living and entertaining zones, providing flexibility for families of all sizes. The generous proportions create a sense of openness rarely found so close to the city. The flexible layout supports accommodating teenagers, extended family, guests, or home office needs, with ample room to adapt to various lifestyles.

A standout feature is the exceptional dual living potential. The layout allows homebuyers to rent out the bottom level to help with mortgage payments while residing upstairs. It is also ideal for families accommodating elderly parents, adult children, or long-term guests, maintaining privacy and independence. Additionally, renting spare bedrooms is a simple option to improve cash flow, addressing the cost of living challenges faced by buyers today. This versatility makes the property attractive for current and future needs.

The expansive yard space is another highlight. Large, flat, usable blocks are scarce in Brisbane's inner north, making this property particularly appealing for families. Children and pets have plenty of safe play space, with room to add a swimming pool, outdoor entertaining pavilion, granny flat (subject to council approval), or further landscaping enhancements. The land's size and usability offer endless opportunities for enjoyment and value enhancement.

The property’s development potential is significant. Zoned LMR2 3 Low Medium Density Residential (2 or 3 Storey Mix), it offers exciting possibilities for redevelopment subject to council approval. Brisbane City Council has confirmed the property is not affected by a Demolition Control Precinct or traditional character overlay, allowing flexibility for future planning, including potential townhouse or unit development. This makes it attractive for land banking, developers, or families seeking a growth-oriented investment. The surrounding streetscape already features townhouse and unit developments, reflecting strong demand and ongoing evolution.

Location is a key advantage. Situated in the heart of Alderley, residents enjoy easy access to amenities contributing to a desirable lifestyle. The Coles supermarket complex is approximately 300m away, a bus stop 100m away, and Alderley Train Station about 700m away, providing convenient commuting options to Brisbane CBD and surrounding suburbs.

This property offers a unique combination of size, flexibility, lifestyle appeal, and long-term upside on a generous parcel of land just 5km from Brisbane's CBD. Large character homes on sizeable allotments with this level of renovation, family accommodation, and development potential rarely come to market. It provides immediate enjoyment with exciting possibilities for the future.

Families will appreciate proximity to highly regarded educational facilities including Alderley State School, Newmarket State School, Oakleigh State School, Hillbrook Anglican School, and St Anthony's School. It is also near Enoggera State School and several respected secondary schools.

A vibrant selection of local cafés, restaurants, and dining precincts are within easy reach, including the Alderley Arms Hotel, Newmarket dining precinct, and thriving café culture throughout Alderley, Grange, and Newmarket. Residents can enjoy weekend breakfasts, casual dining, boutique shopping, and everyday conveniences close to home.

For active lifestyles, the property is surrounded by green spaces and recreational facilities. Banks Street Reserve offers walking and cycling tracks through natural bushland, while nearby parks, sporting fields, and playgrounds provide excellent outdoor opportunities for families.

Notable features include newly painted interiors and exteriors, brand new kitchen, renovated bathrooms, new laundry, carpets, lighting, ceiling fans, blinds, roof insulation, new front fence, garden landscaping, and rare LMR2-3 zoning.

Location highlights include proximity to Coles supermarket (300m), Newmarket Village (1.5km), Brisbane Airport (9km), Brisbane CBD (5km), Enoggera Barracks (2.3km), Westfield Chermside (5km), Alderley Kindergarten & Preschool (850m), Enoggera State School (700m), Newmarket State School (1.2km), Hillbrook Anglican School (1.1km), St Ambrose's School (2km), Oakleigh State School (1.5km), and Alderley Train Station (700m).
