The decades-old corner shop at 51 Ashgrove Terrace, Ashgrove.
A decades-old corner store has hit the market, offering a rare blank canvas for shoppers in one of Brisbane’s established inner suburbs.
The striking former shop front, which also served as a home, offers a buyer a rare opportunity to create something entirely their own in Ashgrove without the property being subject to any planned use.

Agent Shenal Yigitbas of Harcourts Solutions said the combination of history, character and flexibility made the property particularly unusual.
“This property has been part of Ashgrove for many decades, so there is a real sense of history associated with it,” Ms Yigitbas said.
“But what I love about it is that we don’t just look at the past.
“We’re thinking about what could happen next.
“It could be a home, a shop, a store, a studio or something completely different.

“The potential really lies in the imagination of the new owner.”
The property’s origins as a neighborhood corner store are still visible from the street.
Its distinctive storefront, wide porch, and prominent location offer a glimpse into a time when local businesses were an important part of daily suburban life.

Rather than simply preserving that past, the property now offers the opportunity to add another chapter to the story.
“What would be really interesting is to see what someone actually does with it,” Ms. Yigitbas said.
“Everyone who sees it seems to have a different idea.
“That’s what makes it such an unusual property.”
The property is marketed with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living area, a dining area, a 7 x 7.8 m office, a laundry room, a terrace, a terrace and a garage with storage room.
The property will be auctioned on September 13th.
