17 Douglas St, West Mackay is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 5 parking spaces and was built in 1950. The property has a land size of 804m2 and floor size of 151m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2021.
Progressively renovated to a high standard by the current owners, this immaculately presented Circa 1950s lowset Queenslander cottage oozes character and charm with tongue and groove walls, timber fretwork and soaring 10ft ceilings, along with contemporary modern finishes and is well positioned in a quiet street within the forever popular West Mackay area. Offering 3 bedrooms, plus large home office, 2 separate living areas, fully renovated kitchen and 2 bathrooms (one fully renovated), this home has also been freshly painted inside in contemporary neutral tones, along with NEW flooring, LED lighting, ceiling fans, split system air-conditioning and more.
A concrete driveway leads to the existing carport along with a separate gated drive-through side access to the existing 3-bay powered shed to the rear. No height restrictions down the side make backing in the boat after a day on the water easy.
Occupying a fully fenced, completely usable 804m2 parcel of land, close to all conveniences and a short stroll or bike ride from the Botanic Gardens and the Pioneer River with Blue Water Trail, this home showcases all the best hallmarks of its original era together with modern contemporary fixtures and finishes. The hard work’s been done and the money’s been spent to make this home both comfortable and stylish for the lucky new owners.
Why we LOVE 17 Douglas Street…
- The spaciousness, light & ventilation. From the soaring ceilings, to the abundant windows & open plan living zones, the owners have a created a home that is light, bright & well-ventilated throughout, along with split system air-conditioning added for year round comfort
- Family-friendly floor plan. Entry is via the welcoming front steps into the foyer with tongue & groove walls & new timber look vinyl floors. The new timber look floors flow throughout all living areas, while plush soft carpet in an earthy tone has been laid in all bedrooms. The main open plan living zone is spacious & consists of the kitchen, dining area & lounge. The large separate home office and main bathroom is directly adjacent, with separate undercover door access to the existing carport. Four steps down lead to the multipurpose room to the rear with 2nd bathroom & laundry, which opens directly onto the paved existing undercover area
- We love the care taken to maintain the home’s original character & charm. The owners have taken great care to maintain the best of this home’s original features while renovating & have ensured new additions blend seamlessly in neutral tones for a timeless finish to be enjoyed for years to come
- The combination of fresh white joinery, subway tiles and laminate benchtops, classic matt black handles & tapware & stainless appliances (including dishwasher) looks amazing against the rich timber look floors. The generous island bench has space for bar stools and there is also a pantry, double fridge recess & plenty of above & below bench storage
- Luxurious main bathroom, featuring floor to ceiling modern tiles in grey tones, floating timber vanity, built-in shelf running the full width of the room, classic matt black tapware & oversized shower with sheer frameless glass screen & rainwater shower head, the bathroom is as stylish as it is functional. There is a second bathroom in original neat & tidy condition with a standard glass screened shower, toilet & wall mounted basin attached to the rear multipurpose room – ideal for entertaining so guests have no need to enter the rest of the home (will be perfect if you decide to install a pool later too)
- All 3 bedrooms run along the left side of home with connection to the main living zone, with 2 offering built-in robes & newly installed split system air-conditioning units. The 3rd bedroom is smaller & would make an ideal kids or guest room. Window covering, downlights, fans & carpets have been updated in all 3 bedrooms
- Large refreshed internal laundry with wall-to-wall linen cupboards & long timber workbench – you will never lack storage in this home & there’s also plenty of room here for all your appliances
- Existing powered 3-bay shed (council approvals on hand) offers 3 roller doors, is readily accessible & large enough for parking, storage & a workshop area. There’s also an older original detached carport at the rear which could be used for storing a trailer, boat or camper trailer. There has been re-stumping of 11 piers to home during current ownership. Working bore on site and feeds to outdoor taps.
- Large, level & fully fenced for peace of mind if you have kids &/or pets, the block is completely usable & offers plenty of scope for further improvement/additions down the track. Put in a pool, do some landscaping, install a vegie garden, set up a play gym & trampoline, whatever you wish. Or do nothing & use the lawn for endless games of backyard cricket & soccer
- You’ll love the walkable, family-friendly location. Take a stroll or a bike ride around the Botanic Gardens or cast a line in the Pioneer River, both within easy walking or cycling distance from home. And if needed the local St Francis Kindy and Primary School are just one block away from Douglas Street.
