This highset 4-bedroom Queensland home is a piece of history waiting for a new family to bring her back to glory.
Packed full of character and charm, you are greeted by a stunning bay window out front ans inside you will find heaps of tongue and groove walls, ceilings and timber floors. At a total of over 260sqm under roof, she is quite grand in its scale. The high-rise ceilings in the upstairs residential area and the vast open area of the downstairs, reinforce the feeling of grandeur in every space of the home.
Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, two with built-ins. A large lounge, separate dining room, front entry, study or come-what-may room, kitchen and bathroom, with a separate toilet just down the hall. The lounge has a new split system, reverse cycle unit which takes care of most of the upstairs.
The lounge and dining floors have been recently polished and flooring laid in the kitchen area. Several rooms have been freshened up with paint, showing you just how stunning the rest of the house can.
Downstairs is a huge open space that is the future home of a massive rumpus room, workshop, and car garage. Or maybe its destined to be a granny flat, teen’s retreat or whatever else you can imagine.
Currently the laundry lives in the downstairs, with the new hot water system, and a 2nd toilet which is all dwarfed by vastness of the space. It is accessed via double doors that open to allow a lock-up car parking space at the front, or pedestrian door at the other side of the front OR an extra wide doorway at the rear.
Yes, there is quite a bit of work left to be done but the house is on a solid foundation having been fully restumped on steel posts and it is fully concreted underneath. The old roof has some surface rust, but by all accounts, she still has quite a bit of life left in her and she’s chock-a-block with character and old world charm.
Less than a 2-minute walk to the grocery shop and secondary school and only another minute and a bit to the chemist, primary school, post office, bakery, newsagency, doctor’s offices (multiple) and various other shops. Only a 25-minute drive to Rockhampton’s roundabout and less than that to Gracemere’s Shopping Centre with Woolie’s and more.
