Tam O'Shanter was built in 1880 in Charters Towers during the gold rush era and relocated finally to Mission Beach where it has been painstakingly restored over the years to a standard way beyond its former glory by the loving current owners.
The home clearly represents a striking blend of classic Queenslander features and modern comforts to create a relaxed tropical living environment one street back from a 14 km long clean iconic beach.
Mission Beach is a true tropical paradise 1.5 hours south of Cairns and was recently voted in the top six beaches in the world..!!
There are no fewer than 12 lush tropical islands close by offshore, including iconic Dunk and Bedarra, all in Great Barrier Reef Marine Park waters which begin almost at your doorstep.
Overall this character rich residence comprises of a self-contained ground floor consisting of 2 spacious guest bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and dining/living area and undercover tiled patios and garaging plus large store/work room.
On the upper level is a huge master bedroom with ensuite & walk-in robe, a second bedroom with ensuite, TV room, kitchen, spacious lounge/living area and wide classic verandas on 2 sides.
The classic Queenslander floor plan, including wide perfectly proportioned verandas and patios which we've grown to love, emphasises an extraordinary sense of space, functionality, natural light and exquisite style.
