5 Virginia Avenue,

Hawthorne

A classic Hawthorne Queenslander, held for 20 years by the same owner, is now ready to be loved by a new family seeking a beautiful character residence with potential to improve, in the heart of Brisbane's favourite riverside suburb. This 541sq m property is set within the outstanding 'river avenues', widely admired for their proximity to the Brisbane River and CBD, peaceful leafy streets lined with luxury homes, and established cafe precincts.

Presenting a charming facade with prestigious Virginia Avenue frontage, this home reflects the rich heritage of the Queensland lifestyle. Features include a gabled roofline, deep covered verandah, central breezeway, large sash windows, original timber flooring, soaring ceilings, and a rear deck overlooking a lush backyard.

The upper level hosts three large bedrooms, beautiful living and lounge areas extending onto the verandah, a family bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen and dining area with access to the rear deck for easy entertaining. An enormous ground-floor multi-use space with a kitchenette and bathroom offers dual-living accommodation and is ideal for teenagers, extended family, or home-business purposes.

Raise, build in underneath, and fully renovate. There's enormous potential here for investors, developers, or families seeking to add value to a property in one of the city's most desirable residential enclaves. This home is surrounded by leading schools, including Churchie, Lourdes Hill College, and Bulimba State School, while bus and CityCat services to the CBD are also easily accessible.
