Perched high atop Balmoral Hill, this enchanting original timber residence carries with it historical significance as one of the first homes built in the area. The owner’s grandfather built this quality craftsman Queenslander and it has remained with the family to this day, making it the first time for sale! With its north-facing, elevated aspect, the home captures an incredible and rare panorama that extends from Ascot, along the Brisbane River, all the way to the CBD skyline. Although perched high above and enjoying beautiful bay breezes, the 1,095m2 double block allotment features a flat rear yard, ensuring a very family-friendly space. Inside the home, soaring ceilings are met with timeless VJ walls and beautiful hoop-pine flooring, which has been brilliantly maintained and is in pristine condition. Outside, expansive lawns at the front and rear of the property offer a wealth of potential for extending the home in either direction, while the flat rear yard, which is bordered by lush, established greenery, could become the site of an enviable alfresco entertaining area or secluded suburban sanctuary. With the existing home providing a tremendous foundation to build upon, this is a rare and unmissable opportunity to design, create and experience a lifestyle that is distinctly yours and inimitable. Wonderfully positioned, 9 McIlwraith enjoys a selection of local highlights just minutes from the door. Bustling Oxford Street, with its diverse array of cafés, restaurants, entertainment options, including bars and cinemas, is only 750m away, while the popular Hawthorne precinct and its offerings, is just a minute or two further down the road.
