55 Hawdon St, Wilston QLD 4051

Made available for the first time since its construction in 1922, this gorgeous character home presents a rare and enviable opportunity to purchase in sought-after Wilston. Positioned in a wide, tree-lined street and perched on an elevated 810m2 lot studded with mature trees, the immediate street appeal gives way to a spacious and airy interior bursting with old-fashioned charm and character features including 3.1-metre-high ceilings, tongue-and-groove walls, breezeways, casement windows, Art Deco fixtures and timber floors under the carpet.

Entering via the north-facing sunroom, the bedrooms and study lead to a large living room, dining room with leafy outlook, and kitchen with gas cooking and generous cupboard space. Connecting to the dining room, an inviting lattice-screened deck is the perfect setting for a summer family dinner or social evening, while the large backyard with its border of shade trees and tropical foliage offers an ideal space for outdoor fun and games. There is also plenty of scope for future landscaping, with the potential to add a pool, BBQ kitchen or shaded al fresco outdoor entertaining space.

The property is in very good liveable condition, however it is well suited to extending into a large family home subject to Brisbane City Council approval.
