30 Gold St, Mackay is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 4 parking spaces and was built in 1940. The property has a land size of 809m2 and floor size of 266m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in February 2023.
With a rich history dating back to Circa 1890s, this charming old girl certainly has a story to tell! This is the quintessential Queenslander in its finest form, offering a perfect blend of sturdy, original antique fittings and crisp, modern upgrades exactly where you’d want them most. After 18 years of pouring their heart and soul into this fabulous home, along with opening the doors to family and friends for many Christmas gatherings, birthday celebrations and more, the current owners have reluctantly decided it’s time to downsize and welcome a new family for the next chapter.
There’s a new detail to notice every time you walk through the door here. From the magnificent 12ft high ceilings with artistic fretwork and tongue-and-groove walls throughout, to the dark polished timber staircase reclaimed directly from an old pub in Rockhampton, they just don’t make them like this anymore! Every room is something plucked from a picture book, purposefully designed for maximum comfort and to retain the unique character of this home. The sunroom at entry really sets the tone – delicate and bathed in natural light, providing the perfect transition into the heart of the home where you’ll find the expansive carpeted living and dining zones thoughtfully separated by archways, plus a stunning open plan kitchen. The natural feel of the polished timber flooring and the beautiful stained-glass windows throughout are just some of the many fine details which complement the home’s character and calming neutral palette.
All year round, your place will be the go-to for entertaining and conveniently right in the heart of the city! Outside is a private tropical haven with an assortment of covered and uncovered seating spaces surrounding the shaded in-ground pool, plus lush greenery to filter the hot summer sun. In the cooler months, the huge multipurpose space downstairs will be the ultimate hangout for hitting a round of snooker or settling in for a movie marathon, with 2 bonus separate rooms for hosting guests overnight, or a great space to separate yourself from home should you run a business. There’s so much to love about this truly unique, classic Queenslander – come and see for yourself before she’s gone!
Why we LOVE 30 Gold Street…
- Functional & expansive layout to main living space – The upstairs zones, including main living, dining & kitchen are connected via multiple doorways to the elongated sunroom at entry & the wrap-around verandah, which acts as both a transition space & a warm, inviting spot to curl up with a book.
