Amber Werchon Property presents to the market, 173 Lees Road, Bridges; steeped in history, this charming highset pre-war home, circa 1911, on 24-acres of former cane fields, offers quiet country-style living just a short drive to Eumundi and Yandina – current owners have lived here since 1963…if only walls could talk, what stories they could tell! The home itself comprises four bedrooms, one-bathroom, large kitchen, formal dining, formal lounge, sunroom, laundry, and a huge multipurpose area under that is cemented and usable for a variety of purposes including storage, parking, and workshop. Meticulously cared for by its long-term owners, the home is in impeccable condition, and could be updated beautifully to suit modern living whilst retaining the integrity and character of its vintage. High ceilings, VJ walls, timber floorboards (under coverings), double hung windows, and ornate fretwork above doorways, are some of the features endemic to the early 1900's, that make homes of this era so timelessly adored. Infrastructure on the property includes a high-quality 9mx18m shed with 12-foot clearance and 2 phase power; perfect for storing machinery and parking additional vehicles. There are two 5000-gallon tanks and an auto pressure system in place to siphon water from creek for septic and irrigation purposes. The land itself is fully usable and could suit a variety of hobby farming purposes, with lush fertile soil suitable for growing a range of crops. With appropriate fencing installed, it could also work well as a grazing property for cattle, horses, alpacas, goats, etc. The current owners have a long history with this area, growing up in Bridges, they have spent most of their life here, and they love it…it's not hard to see why! It is time for them to downsize and move on, creating an opportunity for another chapter in the rich history of this truly lovely property.
