There is nothing more romantic than a stunning original Queenslander, that overlooks Moreton Bay, with its sweeping verandahs and timber fretwork. To sit on the verandah and watch the seasons change, the boats sail by, the birds and wildlife live their lives in harmony, or even the natural wonder of watching a storm rolling in, there is always something to enjoy living on the waterfront. The home itself is a credit to its owner and is a beautiful combination of old-world charm combined with modern convenience. The original home was relocated to Godwin Beach approx. 13yrs ago and raised which has set it up perfectly to give it a multitude of living options. On the exterior and upper level the bones of the home are true to its vintage. Baltic pine floorboards (tell a story of many families tales) timber-lined walls and ceiling with picture rails, ornate timber archways and fretwork, casement windows, feature green ripple glass panels to most of the windows, and filigree screens. The upper level consists of 3 good-sized bedrooms with the master featuring a luxury ensuite that, incorporates a claw foot bath that if you add some bubble bath and a glass of Moet, you are ready to hop in and enjoy the view and relax. What a way to end the day? There is a centrally located lounge room that features a cozy gas fireplace. This is the perfect place to cuddle up on the couch on a winter’s day to read a good book whilst enjoying a cuppa. The generous-sized kitchen has been updated and has the original corrugated iron hood above the stove. As a nice touch there are stain glass inserts, ample cupboard and bench space, dishwasher, which cater perfectly for a modern lifestyle. Other notable mentions on this level are, the large family dining room, a study/dressing room and an updated main bathroom. As we venture downstairs the surprises continue, not only is there lock up undercover garage space but the area has been utilized amazingly well with a separate shower, toilet and powder room ideal for cleaning up after a day on the water or a hard days work. Then to our surprise, is the fully renovated utility space. It has been stylishly done and has 4 separate spaces which can be used for home-based business ideas like hair and beauty or even potentially a self-contained home office, all subject to council approval. This property is far more than just a house and it has a relaxing aura about it that just makes you feel at home. It’s a great place to raise kids or retire and enjoy the quiet seaside living that Godwin Beach offers. Homes like this rarely come to market and this may be an opportunity that if you don’t act fast, maybe the property in years to come you think, I could have, and I should have.
