A modern-day ranch of sorts as a free-standing property sitting atop 405m2 in a prime and profitable location, this is a home sure to attract the attention and interest of a range of discerning buyers keen to establish their own land-holding legacy.
Linking Riding and Hawthorne Roads, Hawthorne’s prestigious Dutton Street has both attracted a range of modern development while also remaining the preserve of many long-term owners loathe to give up properties occupying a prime position with such close proximity to the Brisbane CBD.
Positioned within easy walking distance of Oxford Street, Bulimba’s famed retail and dining strip, this location also provides a quieter haven from the hustle and bustle of the neighbourhood’s main arterials, while allowing residents to remain connected to their vibrant and happening locale.
A short stroll to Riding Rd’s PawPaw Asian Kitchen and Willow Café and Hawthorne Rd’s Hawthorne Garage Fresh Produce market and Cineplex ensure a range of dining, shopping and entertainment options are found on your doorstep.
Yet, perhaps the best feature of this idyllic location is almost-direct access to Hawthorne Park via the Purcell Lane easement off Dutton St. Enjoy leisurely walks to Hawthorne and Bulimba parks and riverside pathways, with sporting and recreational options also abounding in this location.
A range of public transport options including local ferry terminals, bus routes and bike lanes as well as close proximity to the Gateway allowing easy access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and airport can all be found close at hand should you need to venture further afield.
In catchment for quality public and private schools, this is an area keenly sought after by both lifestyle-seeking owner-occupiers, young families and savvy investors who will no doubt be attracted to an opportunity to secure a highly rentable property located in one of Brisbane’s premier suburbs, just under 5km from the Brisbane CBD.
