Overview
Set on a generous 637-square-metre north-facing block in one of Brisbane's consistently sought-after northern suburbs, this low-set home at 31 Basnett Street offers a compelling blend of immediate livability and promising development potential (subject to council approval).
The property boasts polished timber floors that extend through the living spaces and bedrooms, casting a bright and inviting atmosphere enhanced by a fresh neutral palette. The air-conditioned living and dining area, which seamlessly connects to a dedicated office space, supports both comfortable living and convenient work-from-home arrangements.
Well-appointed for culinary pursuits, the kitchen features a sunny bay window, gas cooktop, under-bench oven, and striking stone-look benchtops, paired with a separate laundry that includes abundant bench space and built-in storage solutions.
The master bedroom currently incorporates a third bedroom space as a generous walk-in wardrobe, offering flexibility to revert back as needed, appealing to families or those valuing adaptable living arrangements.
Externally, the extensive landholding reveals its full potential with a covered patio overlooking a broad, level backyard, ideal for children, pets, entertaining, or future landscaping ventures. Practicality is further enhanced by a long driveway leading to a detached single garage and an additional storage room—features that suit busy households or hobbyists alike.
Strategically located approximately 200 metres from Craigslea State School and High School, and close to local shops, with major amenities such as The Prince Charles Hospital and Woolworths Metro within a kilometre, and Westfield Chermside under two kilometres away, the property is well-positioned to complement a convenient lifestyle. The Brisbane CBD is roughly 10 kilometres south, providing accessible connectivity for professionals.
Whether for immediate occupancy, renovation, extension, or redevelopment, this residence offers a rare combination of significant land, desirable orientation, and an outstanding location, making it a valuable opportunity for homeowners, renovators, and investors seeking lasting appeal in a tightly held community.
