This charming Queenslander style cottage has the best of both worlds, the owners have preserved much of its character with polished wooden floorboards, high ceilings, and louvres for cross ventilation all situated on a large block of approx. 3840m2. Large decks have been added to the back and side of the home to facilitate a love of outdoor living.
There are four bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a quaint country style kitchen. 1 bedroom is currently set up as a home office. While the house is fully air-conditioned the benefits of cooling cross-flow ventilation is obvious when inside the home. Improvements to the property include; steel stumps underpinning the dwelling, two 10,000 litre rainwater tanks, 3 bay steel shed with power and lighting, 3 x 3-metre garden shed, powered front gate and a fenced chicken coop in the back corner. The property has a new high fence surrounding the property. You have a choice of town or rainwater. A rarity for this area is the valued bonus of a current license for a water bore, and as a result of easements on 2 sides of the property, there is essentially only one close neighbour.
