118 Gympie Street, Northgate.

Lifestyle - This graceful Queenslander has a beating family heart where behind the picket fence roses bloom and a winding path leads a deep welcoming verandah. Immaculately presented, this home celebrates its age with traditional features and a sensible single level layout where you can keep an eye on the kids. The living areas are open plan with excellent access to the wrap around corner verandah and poolside barbecue area. Surrounded by character homes in a quiet street, it is footsteps to the playground and close to trains, childcare, schools and shops. Accommodation - Truly delightful decor and a layout full of surprises, the hallway leads to the open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area with a separate utilities room for storage and laundry facilities. There are three family bedrooms, one opens onto the verandah, plus a master bedroom and a well proportioned family bathroom and separate w/c. The side alfresco dining verandah overlooks the fenced in-ground swimming pool, barbecue deck and garden play area while the front verandah catches the breeze. Brimming with potential, there is a freestanding double garage. Features - Emanating nostalgia, there are polished floorboards, VJ panels, picture rails, dado walls, high ceilings, casement windows, timber French doors, breezeways, highlights and brass fittings throughout. The verandahs have wide handrails, privacy gates and brass step covers. Typical of the era, in the practical kitchen there is a brick niche where now sits a freestanding oven, and there is ample cabinetry and benchspace. There are built-ins in three bedrooms and the bathroom offers a separate shower, bath and vanity. There is the potential to change the use of the garage and to upgrade the home though the love of a new family is what it needs now.
