Tucked away in a rainforest-like sanctuary, this lovely four-bedroom elevated gem. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, with paths winding to ponds and bridges crossing streams, this is a well-located home bursting with character and ready to evolve with your family.
The property was constructed pre cyclone Tracy in early 1974. It survived the cyclone totally intact and was upgraded to post cyclone standards after. It was originally built by Mrs. Scott, formally of the Nightcliff Dairy which existed prior to WW2. Its use has been not only the residence of Mrs. Scott, but has been an informal guest house housing staff with common kitchen/lounge and ablutions, bit like a modern Airbnb. The current owners first rented the property in 1978 and then they bought it as a family home.
The property has always had substantial parking facilities including the two side gates adjacent to the east. At one stage they had parked a 30 ft yacht, two business vehicles at the rear, a substantial car trailer at the side gate, a 30 ft caravan in the front driveway, two cars parked under the house and two additional cars parked in the driveway.

Subject to approval (STCA) there are multiple development opportunities with rezoning the block, building townhouses or subdividing.
Gates open to a most private, tropical setting. Mature lush gardens wind through the trees, paths leading to ponds, a spa pool, an alfresco dining patio and a stream. A magical garden where incredible family memories will be made.
Steps lead from the shaded parking to a vast, decked balcony. From here, you are truly within the treetops, it's hard to believe you are so close to the city. The home boasts huge potential to offer an easy indoor/outdoor lifestyle, with the open floor plan flowing outwards onto the deck.
Tropical views pour in from every aspect of the living and dining areas, with tinted louvred windows carrying the breeze, the timber floors adding to that treehouse-like ambience. Wrapping around, the kitchen boasts a gas cooktop, breakfast bar and luscious canopied outlook.
The family sleeping quarters offer three nicely appointed bedrooms at this level, all with built-in robes, air conditioning and bright picture windows, the master with a lovely dual aspect. The main bathroom then with full bath and separate WC can be reimagined to meet your family's needs.
Down the second set of steps, we come to the laundry plus a very handy storeroom and shower room at ground floor level. A further covered entertaining area then guides us into the forth bedroom. Very private and well-appointed with its own entrance and mirrored slide robe, this space holds huge potential.
While this property is ready to benefit from a personal touch, this is a home that will really see a family thrive. The setting is unique and will see the dream tropical lifestyle become a reality. Walking distance to Ludmilla Primary School, the beaches, parks and the city just moments away and very easy transport links on the doorstep, don't let this special opportunity pass you by!
