Set on a generous 685 sq m (more or less) parcel in the heart of Birkdale, 42 Lauderdale Road presents a rare and compelling opportunity for families, investors, developers, and those seeking a character-filled home to make their own.
Lovingly cherished over the years, this substantial five-bedroom, two-bathroom residence now finds itself in a position where it must be sold due to unforeseen circumstances, creating genuine urgency and an opportunity not to be missed.
Spanning two levels, the home offers versatile living with two spacious living areas, ideal for growing families or multi-generational living. The upper level showcases a light-filled, open-plan living space that flows effortlessly, creating the perfect setting for both relaxed family life and entertaining. With its elevated outlook and seamless connection, this space truly forms the heart of the home.
Outdoors, the property is framed by striking palm trees, evoking a tropical ambience fondly referred to as “Bahamas meets Birkdale”, even having once featured on the Maggie Home & Garden Show. The grounds provide ample space for children to play, future enhancements, or potential development (subject to council approval).
Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban, the site presents further upside for those with vision, while still offering immediate comfort and charm for owner-occupiers.
This is a home with soul, space, and scope, ready for its next chapter.
With clear instructions to sell and an upcoming auction, all interest is encouraged. Opportunities like this are seldom repeated.
