86 Chermside Road, East Ipswich, Qld 4305

Rich in history and embodying tradition, class and elegance, this gorgeous character filled home (circa 1895) is in a league of its own and makes all other character homes look plain in comparison. Situated on a huge 1513m2 fully fenced block in sought after East Ipswich, it is the ideal home for the discerning buyer looking to add the finishing touches to make this home one of the best Ipswich has to offer.
From the street, the picturesque front façade hints at the beauty within these walls with a prominent bay window and grand front staircase which leads you up through the solid front door with coloured glass sidelight feature and into the enclosed front sleepout. The entry way has a secret drop down ladder to the ceiling space above lending itself to additional storage or a potential attic space. Four enormous bedrooms located at the front of the home all have plenty of space and the master bedroom features a decorative fireplace surround, bay window with window seat, ensuite with marble top vanity, corner shower and toilet and mirrored sliding doors open to reveal the walk in robe complete with fit out.
Soaring high ceilings, wide pine floorboards, and tongue and groove walls combined with decorative arches and doorways feature throughout the property and two huge living spaces including a formal lounge with ornate copper fireplace and chandelier and large formal dining room provide plenty of space for the family.
The fifth bedroom which is separate to the others is accessed via the family room and the main bathroom is located here as well. This is currently a complete blank canvas although all the plumbing is in place allowing the new owner to flex their creativity and bring their own touch to the home. The combined family and dining room also needs some attention, but the space is there to make it into anything you desire and the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the rear garden provide the perfect view. The kitchen which flows onto this room currently consists of an ornate dual fuel freestanding oven, floor to ceiling pantry, timber benchtops and island workbench, and offers plenty of scope to upgrade and renovate. An internal staircase leads down to a huge laundry which could also be used as a multipurpose room and there is plenty of storage underneath the house as well as an additional toilet.
Outside you will find car accommodation for three in the triple carport, an inground pool which is in need of repair but could be a stunning oasis, and a beautiful private lawn down the back of the fully fenced yard. Two watertanks keep your lush established gardens thriving and all this is just minutes from Ipswich CBD, walking distance to the lovely Queens Park and just opposite Ipswich Girls Grammar School.
This outstanding property is certainly a beauty and while there is still some work to do, the results will be well worth it for those who want to put in the work to bring this magnificent old girl to its full potential.
This is one of those rare properties that take your breath away as soon as you step inside so don't miss your opportunity to inspect this incredible property. Call Kirsty or Mike now to arrange your private viewing or come along to the open homes.
