Situated in a quiet tree lined street within the prime authentic suburb of Sherwood is this charming and original 1948 weatherboard home, wonderfully positioned on a level 810sqm allotment. With beautiful flower laden shrubs and gardens along with a meticulously kept lawn; the street appeal of this property is sincere and true.

This home has been so well maintained by its current original owner that it is hard to imagine its real age. The hardwood timbers used in its construction had been sourced from Blackbutt in the South Burnett region and still hold straight and true providing the opportunity to renovate the existing structure should that be your intention. However, the land in Sherwood and surrounding neighbourhoods have been on many prospective buyer radars in recent times as the location to some of Brisbane’s best schooling, sporting facilities, transport, universities access and thriving local communities also exists here. This has seen prized allotments in quality streets like this one be snapped up and purchased by owner occupiers and investors plus builders and developers splitting lots.

Unusually, 17 Cormack is already on 2 lots and 2 titles which makes the potential journey of constructing two new dwellings so much easier in this Character (CR1) Residentially zoned setting.

On inspection, you will find two very large bedrooms that each open out to an enclosed veranda that has been utilised as a sleepout and study/sewing room over the years. A sunroom greets you upon entry and leads you through a large arched living and dining which offers quality Mitsubishi air-conditioning and ceiling fans also feature. The kitchen provides a gas upright stove and range hood, eat-in breakfast table and views directly North out to Mount Coot-Tha and Taringa shopping and business precinct. The bathroom is separate from the toilet and houses a full-length bath with overhead shower, vanity and linen cupboard.

Venture downstairs where you will find the laundry, workshop areas, storage room, tandem car-parking, masses of lockable open areas and water tank.

The owners once stored their caravan at the rear and although that has long gone, the carport structure remains and could be used once again for the same purpose or possibly a boat.

There is limitless potential for this perfectly positioned property whatever direction you wish to take it. Come along and see for yourself!
