It will take more than a ‘lick of paint’ to return this house to being comfortable once again however the ‘bones’ and potential are there.

The upstairs of this highset home includes the three bedrooms (main with built-ins), small kitchen, lounge, family bathroom, meals area, separate toilet and a front balcony. An internal staircase leads down to the downstairs area which has been converted to include a rumpus/family room, two hobby rooms or studies and laundry.

There is a single carport at the side of the house and a detached, lock-up single garage as well. The back yard contains a small barbeque area and a bird aviary. Being on a larger block there is room out the back for a deck. Some of the previous building work may need to be done again or removed entirely and this would be an opportunity for you to add you own touches and ideas.

There are many schools nearby including Deception Bay North State School, Christ the King Catholic Primary School, Moreton Downs State School, Deception Bay State School and Deception Bay State High School. The major shopping is at Market Square Deception Bay under ten minutes’ drive away. A bus stop is very close to your front door on Bancroft Drive so you could leave the car in the garage. Another attraction is the proximity of the attractions of the foreshore at Redcliffe, Scarborough and Deception Bay. Do your sums with this one to realise its potential.
