Home sold after ‘hungry little house guests’ were evicted

38 Richer Street, Toowong

A house invaded by ‘uninvited, hungry little house guests’ is now under contract after being listed for offers over $850,000.

Located in Toowong, the three level house at 38 Richer St was partially gutted after the owners discovered termits while undertaking a renovation.

Bit of work needed here

It was listed with Toby Disher of Doug Disher Real Estate Toowong.

“This modern three-bedroom home was all set to undergo a renovation, but some uninvited, hungry little house guests were discovered in the early stages,” the listing says.

“Professionals were called, they dealt with the intruders, and appropriate deterrents have been put in place, but the owners were left with a tough decision – repair and continue with the renovation, or leave it to someone a bit more hands-on who can make the most of the situation.”

And here

A job offer overseas made their decision easy, the listing added.

Architecturally-designed with multiple decks and living spaces, the home feature polished timber floors on the central level and the upper level parents retreat.

Polished concrete can be foun on the lower level.

The modern kitchen

But the listing photos show that the hungry little squatters had a feast on several sections of the house, with boards torn up off the deck and interior sheeting removed to treat the pest invasion.

“It clearly needs work, but for someone with the right skills and/or connections, there’s a clear opportunity here,” the listing says.

“Included with the sale are all materials and fixtures on-site that were intended for the renovations, including basins, mixers, wastes, showers, towel rails, toilets, mirrors, vanities, grates, and tiles, as well as Kwila decking and fascia, and Gastone Carrara White floor and wall tiles.”

The deck has seen better days

The house sits on a 379sq m block with shared access from Richer St and 24m of frontage on Horrocks St with the potential to create separate, private access.

It iss just around the corner from Stuartholme, positioned within the Rainworth State School catchment area, a short drive from Brisbane Boys’ College and QASMT, and less than 5km by road to The University of Queensland.

The property was the most viewed residential listing in Queensland over the past seven days.
