LARGE HOME; DUAL LIVING; CENTRAL IPSWICH; VIEWS!!

Very close to both hospitals, university and CBD.
Reward yourself every day by coming home to unsurpassed quality and 180 degree views. Located high on the Eastern end of Quarry St, this home has a blend of both Greek and Australian Architecture. Built in the 80’s for a Greek/Australian the magnificent front facade showcases ornate concrete balustrade which continues on both levels wrapping around the Northern balcony.
Imposing from the street yet surprisingly comfortable interior warmed with cedar joinery including decorative archways highlighted with 11ft ceiling and outstanding colored glass. Views from the casual living & kitchen are unrivaled and spectacular fire works displays may be enjoyed by guests when you host the largest gathering on the rear balcony which is fully tiled and reminiscent of glamorous Monaco.
Designed to entertain, the home chef will appreciate the quality and space of the cedar kitchen with extensive corian bench space situated on the North West enjoying light – breezes and views and accessible to formal dining, meals area and balcony.

This home was built in 1980's for a Greek/Australian and is a blend of both Greek and Australian architecture. The front steps, balustrades and tiles show the Greek influence and the interior is primarily Federation Australian based.

This home with its self-contained second living area would be very suitable for a couple with teenagers, elderly parents, or adult children living with them. The rumpus area could (with Council permission) be used for a home based business as it has four external entrances and is at the front of the building.

Upstairs is the main home of 3 bedrooms, study, bathroom (with separate toilet), lounge, dining, family room and kitchen.

Downstairs there is a large self contained flat with two bedrooms, bathroom, lounge/dining area and kitchen. There is also a large rumpus room which could be used as an office or workshop etc.

The flat has been approved by Council as 'Dual Occupancy – Relatives Accommodation' and would be ideal for elderly parents, teenagers or adult children still living at home, guest accommodation or live-in housekeeper.
