It's hard not to fall in love with a classic Queenslander. Those gables, the polished hardwood floorboards, wide sweeping verandas, and the beautiful timber lacework - it's a style of home where the heart marries with the head to agree that such a property is rare-a strong sense of nostalgia and connection to the past makes it an easy choice. Elegance, history and convenience come together harmoniously in this beautifully presented c.1890's Queenslander. Situated high on the hill on a very rare almost flat 1012m2 block with sweeping views overlooking Gympie township and the hinterland is this lovingly maintained Queenslander. Fully fenced and set among manicured gardens of curry, jacaranda and poinciana trees at the front, and lemon, lime, mango and mandarin trees at the rear, the gardens really bring a beauty and aroma to the property. The lovely butterfly steps lead you to the verandah which wraps around 3 sides of the home, offering the perfect light-filled, breezy retreat space to view those winter sunsets over the range. Oh, and there's a firepit for those chilly winter evenings. The front entry welcomes you with all the traditional features of delicate fretwork and polished timber floors, tongue and groove/VJ timberwork from floor to ceiling, and the traditional touches of brass light switches and American made click-string fans. This quintessential home is impressive, consisting of 3 very generous bedrooms; one with ensuite, plus an office/extra bedroom option. The recently renovated inground pool to the rear corner of the property ensures that this truly unique heritage-listed property offers all the lovely traditional features you expect from a classic Queenslander, and all the modern conveniences we all want. The kitchen and dining room at the rear of the home enjoys views onto the side patio and gardens. The adjoining patio is perfect for entertaining guests, for those lazy Sunday afternoons enjoying a cold beverage, or simply relaxing beside the pool. The adjoining lounge room maintains the property's nostalgia with raised ceilings, an open fireplace with mantle, polished timber floorboards, and VJ and timber lacework.
