Golden Oldies Penthouse Renovator With Huge Investor Potential

Full disclosure... this penthouse needs some love. Its interiors are begging for a New Millennium makeover. But don't let that discourage you! This property holds tremendous potential for transforming it into a breath-taking penthouse-style apartment, offering massive room proportions that are a rarity in today's compact units.<br/><br/>Originally built in the 1970s, this top-floor unit was the epitome of luxury in its heyday. Its central location is another fantastic feature. Just imagine what you can do with FOUR bedrooms, a study, a spacious private balcony, and a two-car garage complete with a workshop and additional storage space. It's a diamond in the rough waiting to be polished.<br/><br/>Yes, it requires some work, but the possibilities are endless. With a little imagination and effort, you can create a stunning living space that surpasses anything you'll find in modern developments. Let your creativity soar and turn this diamond-in-the-rough into your dream penthouse.<br/><br/>Kept in the one family for decades, the owners are now reluctantly selling, presenting an inner northern suburb opportunity for a canny buyer. Handy to lots of major employer organisations such as QLD Emergency Services, RBWH, and Prince Charles and St Vincent's Hospitals, plus walking distance to high quality local schools, this is a great find for those looking to be close to everything. Just a 9-minute drive to the airport, 14 minutes to the CBD, and just over an hour to the Gold or Sunshine Coast, the location simply could not be better.<br/><br/>In its current presentation, the unit invites you in via a generous foyer and into the well-lit, 7m long living room which is equipped with an awesome retro bar. The dining room and eat-in kitchen are also bigger than you'd expect, and the kitchen door leads to a fabulous 6m x 6m balcony, where entertaining guests will be a favourite pastime.<br/>All four bedrooms plus the additional study are at the other side of the unit, where you'll also find the bathroom and separate toilet. There is another balcony at the front of the unit, accessible via the living room and one of the bedrooms.<br/>With so much going for it in terms of location, size, and extras, 5/56 Stafford Road, Stafford is a magnificent investment for owner/occupiers or to rent out to tenants. Fiercely bucking the trend of sterile, soulless, high-rise apartments, this yesteryear champion offers the chance to create a spectacular abode to your own tastes, smack dab in the heart of prestigious Gordon Park.<br/><br/>You HAVE to inspect to see the size with your own eyes!
