This enchanting Queenslander, nestled in the heart of Hermit Park, is now available for immediate sale. After lovingly serving its current owners for over two decades, they are relocating south, which means parting with their cherished and impeccably maintained home. This spacious four-bedroom home offers a wealth of possibilities with its clever layout. With three definite bedrooms on the upper level and a separate downstairs retreat fitted with a fully functioning kitchenette, perfect for teenagers or guests, that comes complete with its own bathroom. Additionally on the lower level, there is a versatile open area that can be transformed into a home office, an extra living room, or whatever suits your needs, with the space serving the current owners as a photography studio that caters effortlessly for having clients meet privately at your home (it's important to note this lower floor level does not technically qualify as being legal height, however offers plenty of function as it is still quite high and very usable). The stunning timber floors and original archways beautifully showcase the distinctive charm of this Queensland home from circa 1920s at the owner's best guess. The enclosed front verandah upstairs offers a versatile space that can serve as a playful retreat for kids, or a separate lounge/sitting area, all while maintaining an open, airy atmosphere and allowing natural light to flow freely throughout the home. Step outside into a true entertainer's paradise! With well-manicured gardens surrounding the breath-taking pool area, gazebo, and inviting fire pit, you'll find it hard to ever want to leave. If you've been searching for a charming Queenslander with character and ample space, look no further.
