31 High Street, Ashgrove QLD 4060

Located on a generous and deep block nestled behind a classic brick fence and mature trees, this post-war weatherboard home offers a rare opportunity for renovators, rebuilders or those seeking a peaceful family sanctuary in Ashgrove's tightly held northern pocket.

The property's original charm is visible in features such as its terracotta tiled roof, covered front porch, ornate cornicing, and wide casement windows, all preserved since the family has lovingly occupied the home since 1968. Its elevated position overlooks leafy garden vistas with the backyard gently sloping towards a Scout reserve, providing expansive and level lawns framed by mature trees—conditions increasingly scarce so close to Brisbane’s city centre.

Inside, the formal front lounge presents with decorative cornices, wall sconces, and a ceiling fan, setting a gracious atmosphere. The home accommodates three bedrooms plus a master bedroom featuring a split-system air conditioner and decorative cornicing, supporting comfortable living throughout all seasons. The original kitchen, complete with tiled benchtops, timber-look cabinetry, double sink, and freestanding electric stove, adjoins a generous dining area, complemented by a sunlit sunroom with wraparound windows. This leads to a covered timber deck overlooking the serene garden, ideal for quiet reflection or entertaining in a natural setting.

• The lower level offers diverse functionality with a large multipurpose room perfect for a workshop, studio, or storage.
• A laundry with twin tubs and a second toilet enhances convenience for families.
• Additional storage rooms and a tandem lock-up garage accessible via a long side driveway support everyday practicality.

Throughout the home, original hard flooring contrasts beautifully with carpeted living and main bedroom areas, all maintained with period panelled walls and ceilings showcasing timber battens and traditional finishes. Security screen doors provide peace of mind.

This property combines historical appeal, substantial land, and flexible living spaces. Its location benefits from proximity to bushland walking trails, reputable schools, public transport links, and local shops, catering well to families seeking a lifestyle balanced between tranquility and accessibility.
