Typical 1940’s Renovator Close to the C.B.D.

Set on 716 square metres, is this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom weatherboard cottage surrounded by houses built during the Second World War. Backing onto the Toowoomba Base Hospital, in a low traffic street, with footpaths, 31 Joyce Street is within walking distance of Grand Central Shopping Centre, Milne Bay Aquatic Centre and numerous public transport bus stops. It's less than a 5-minute drive to St Saviour's Primary School and Clifford Gardens Shopping Centre. The convenience of this location will not be lost on the medical fraternity and those who wish to be close to the city centre and its many amenities.

Typical of homes built during the war, the ceilings are adorned with simple batons and the rooms reflect frugal living. A small porch leads to the living room. The bedrooms then revolve around this prime living area. The basic eat-in kitchen leads to a small study, separate toilet and bathroom. Bedroom storage is reliant on free-standing wardrobes, and 2 of the 3 bedrooms are a reasonable size, with a modest ensuite connected to the master bedroom. Outside, a large covered north facing deck, with a view and direct access to the hospital, has a ramp and a door leading into the kitchen. At the rear of the allotment is a single garage with a matching sized shed attached. An additional shed is tucked in behind another small outdoor area.

There are no character controls on homes from this era, so renovations are not limited. As the allotment is a decent size, extensions are plausible. Given the proximity to Toowoomba Base Hospital and the city centre, 31 Joyce Street will interest the enthusiastic renovator.
