New To The Market This Week

We have a brilliant opportunity in Cannon Hill. 70 Dorothea Street sits on a 728m3 Res A block, on the high side of the street.

It’s a 3 bedroom post war home, if you are going to retain it it does need some TLC but in this location, at this price i’s well worth a look.

Priced at $515,000 and quite simply the best value in the neighbourhood.

Luxury Hotel Or Maternity Ward?

Greenslopes Private Hospital has opened their maternity ward and boy it’s fancy. Nespresso machine, Foxtel, big TV, double bed!

I guess every new Mum is entitled to a little luxury once they arrive in their room after the birthing suite, good luck to them. (+ that big screen screen TV probably makes it easier for the dads to keep up to date with the outside world (i.e NRL, AFL, A League)

Take a look at the video.

Super Affordable With Potential Plus

You may have seen 9 Moresby Street, Moorooka over the last few weeks. We have had a lot of interest but are yet to secure a contract. The sellers have bought the price WAY down with clear instructions to shift it on.

It’s absolutely neat as a pin. Kitchen, bathroom, floor coverings are original and it’s due for a revamp but this absolutely the place to do it.

There are pristine floor boards under the carpet, the kitchen can be redesigned and opened up to the rear balcony. It would all come together brilliantly.

Now asking Offers Over $550,000, it’s a super competitive price and we expect very strong interest over the weekend.

You can inspect Sat 2 March @ 10am. See you there
