9 Folgate Street
Banyo, QLD 4014

This well-maintained residence at 9 Folgate Street, Banyo, offers a unique opportunity to acquire a home cherished by the same family for over 34 years. Constructed in 1960 and significantly enhanced over time, the property has undergone numerous renovations and additions, including a major raise in 2002 that created a versatile dual-living layout. This design is ideal for growing families, multi-generational living, or those seeking additional space in a convenient location.

Set on a 620 square meter allotment, the home features approximately 324 square meters under roof, including outdoor entertaining areas.

The backyard is designed for practicality, offering ample space for children and pets. Double-gated side access leads to a 6 by 4 meter shed with covered areas on both sides, and additional storage is conveniently located behind the shed.

An internal staircase leads to the upper level, where a large 5.3 by 4 meter deck adjoins the main living area, providing an excellent setting for entertaining while enjoying cooling breezes year-round. Inside, the upper level is beautifully presented, featuring the original front sunroom now used as a study adjoining the living and dining spaces. Timber-look hybrid flooring flows throughout, complemented by plantation shutters and abundant natural light from large windows.

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for everyday family living, equipped with stainless steel appliances, laminate benchtops, tiled splashback, ample cabinetry, and a butler's pantry for added convenience.
