5 Jones Road, Buderim

SOLD BY TIM BURROUGH

Having purchased way back in 1988 the overseas based owner has decided he won't be living here and the home must be sold to allow him to purchase in South America. Supremely positioned where Orme Road meets Jones Road on top of Buderim, rests this 60's style home with unlimited potential. A mix of classic red face brick and chamferboard with push out casement windows, will please the architecturally minded and all in good condition. The post war retro renovation revolution is booming for this 'international' or 'austerity' building style most often seen in the Brisbane suburbs of St Lucia and Indooroopilly. This is a rare opportunity to benefit here on Buderim. Examples of this quality are tightly held and in demand.

Expansive northerly views of this class are hard to find on top of Buderim and you won't be disappointed here. The floor plan works beautifully with generous bedrooms and a feature brick open fireplace the highlight in the main living room. Rich hardwood floors flow through onto a delightful sunroom that invites warm winter sun from the covered verandah. The kitchen is an ergonomic space with impressive views that will allow you to place your mark on the home. This generation of homes rarely offered ensuites, but here it is, in a wonderful main bedroom. Your search for 'good bones' is over and don't worry about expensive extensions. There is even a large guests accommodation downstairs. After many years away the owner insisted on a professional paint job inside and out and the result speaks for itself. The home can be lived in comfortably however aspects need cosmetic renovation to realise the property's full value. But please don't change the time capsule that is the main bathroom with its gorgeous terrazzo floor.
Downstairs the flexible living space and bedroom benefit from a beautiful outlook over a large private pool to the adjoining parkland. The home is remarkably well shielded from the road and lots of thick vegetation offer privacy and buffer sound. Leave aside any concerns you may have and simply inspect the property.
The owner seized an opportunity to purchase adjoining council land, allowing the property its Orme Road access and room for a yard and further vehicle accommodation. The property has council park at the rear and is surrounded by some of Buderim's finest homes. The property will be sold to the highest bid on auction day, subject to the reserve price, April 12th at 12.00pm onsite.
