Description: Steeped in local history and bursting with potential, this charming old Queenslander on a generous 1,017m2 allotment was once home to the Westpac Bank, with the original bank vault still proudly in place downstairs as a reminder of its fascinating past.
Positioned in the heart of Miriam Vale with two street frontages, the property extends from the Bruce Highway through to Blomfield Street, placing you within easy walking distance of the town's main shopping area and directly opposite Alf Larson Park and playground.
Upstairs retains all the warmth and character you would expect from a classic Queenslander. Beautiful polished timber floors flow throughout, while ceiling fans have been installed in every room for year-round comfort. The spacious lounge opens onto the verandah, as do the three generous bedrooms, creating a lovely sense of space and indoor-outdoor living.
The home also features an open plan kitchen and dining area, electric cooking, a pantry recess adjoining the kitchen, a large bathroom, separate toilet, electric hot water, approximately 10,000 gallons (45,461 litres) of rainwater storage, plus the convenience of town water. Wide verandahs wrap around three sides of the home, providing the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outlook over the park.
Outside, the large backyard includes a double garage, an additional storage shed, and plenty of room for parking vehicles.
Adding even more appeal, the downstairs area is currently tenanted by Lifeline, demonstrating the property's versatility and commercial appeal. While the exterior is ready for some TLC, the home presents a wonderful opportunity for someone to restore its classic Queenslander charm and add further value.
Whether you're dreaming of operating your own business while living comfortably upstairs, creating separate accommodation for extended family, providing independent space for teenagers, or simply transforming the entire property into a unique family home, the possibilities here are extensive.
With its Commercial zoning, prominent location and rich history, this is an opportunity to secure a property that is as versatile as it is distinctive.
