McMurtrie family Cottage North Street Mount Morgan built late 1800s (see photo from Mount Morgan Museum). This home sits on 1/2 an acre of land on the one title so there’s plenty of room to expand!
The home is positioned at the top of North St, making it the last house on the high side, affording privacy, serenity and peek-a-boo views of the picturesque town and countryside, both day AND night. The rainforests inspired gardens provide additional privacy and shade to the property, making it much cooler than expected.
The front veranda with broomstick railings and lattice screening is the perfect place to sit and have a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening with friends.
This 3-bedroom Queenslander Cottage with tongue & groove walls, sash windows with hoods, and beautiful hoop pine polished floors to every room. The lounge is fitted with aircon but you could choose to open the two sets of French doors off the main bedroom and lounge, and the original timber sash windows and enjoy the fresh air afforded by the mountain breezes in the evening.
The kitchen has been upgraded (though it needs a bit of finishing off) with new cupboards and bench tops. The bathroom is compact but well appointed, with walk-in shower, vanity unit and laundry neatly fitted in it’s cosy space. Or use the shed area to do the laundry and use its space in the bathroom for some additional storage!
Ergon has installed a new point of entry electrical wiring and new switchboard and the home has been wired with additional power points. With the upgrades, there is plenty of power to spare, so go ahead and build a shed in the spacious 9 x 6 metre space that has already been cleared to make way for it.
The home has been completely replumbed and a new hot water system has been installed. Additionally, a new septic system pump is installed in 2021. It was also recently painted outside in a heritage green allowing it to blend with the native environment.
