This residence is a home of character, charm and relaxed family-comfort offering versatility and space that'll suit every member of your family. It sits on 764m2 of easy-care land and is situated on a quiet street in family-friendly Taringa, an inner-western suburb of Brisbane, just 6.8ks from the CBD. Taringa is admired for its leafy, undulating topography and is home to a wide demographic of residents. It is particularly popular with those who have an association with the University of Queensland.

As the demographic is wide, so are the styles of homes the residents live in, making this an interesting and architecturally eclectic part of the inner west. You'll discover historic Queensland cottages, grander period residences, post-war homes, many re-imagined by new owners, 1960's-1970's bungalows of the mid-century era, along with smart contemporary homes and newly renovated properties that have used the areas geographical features to advantage. This part of Taringa is emerging as the successful integration of the old blending harmoniously with the new. It should be noted that whilst 'Francise Cottage' has an charming backstory, it can still make way for a new home (subject to DAA).

Importantly for our buyers, this family-home is easy-walking distance to the highly regarded Indooroopilly State Primary School and a short bus-ride to the equally esteemed Indooroopilly State High School. Further, its proximity to public transport, everyone's go-to, local store The Hillsdon Grocer (meat and beverage produce too, so useful when unexpected guests drop in), Abode Cafe, Indooroopilly Westfield and Toowong Villages' shopping and entertainment precincts, University of Queensland, QASMT, many of Brisbane's top tier private schools, and so much more, is a real blessing. You won't be far from anywhere here at 95 Goldsbrough Road.

The original house was one of the first to be built in the area with construction circa 1905, a little before The Hillsdon Grocer's store. As the family grew, so did the house. In the 1990's owners paid affectionate tribute to the original owners by naming the house 'Francis Cottage' which still appears at the front door. It can hardly be described as a cottage now though, with 3+ bedrooms, 3 modern, stylish bathrooms, a country-style, timber kitchen with view to the deck/pool. Parents will appreciate this feature. It has loads of prep and cupboard space too, along with quality appliances (gas/electric) and Miele dishwasher. There is a meals/family room, a formal living room, and spacious multi-purpose rooms downstairs to be used as your family wishes.

There is a modern bathroom here as well, along with a separate, secure entry to the front of the home and garden. Significantly, there is potential to further remodel this space for dual living, or as a value-adding project at some future time.
