Originally a standalone pre-war cottage, this beautifully transformed two-storey residence combines the character and proportions of a traditional Queenslander with the ease and low-maintenance appeal of a modern townhome. Positioned at the front of a boutique complex of just four, it is the only residence with direct street frontage, a private gated driveway and a distinctly standalone house feel.
Rich in character, the home retains a wonderful collection of traditional details including soaring 2.8m ceilings, timber floors, casement windows, French doors and decorative latticework, complemented by thoughtful modern upgrades throughout. North-facing and designed to embrace natural light and airflow, it offers a relaxed and highly functional layout ideally suited to first home buyers, downsizers, professionals, small families or investors.
Upstairs, a secure private deck provides a welcoming entry and an elevated outdoor space to enjoy the sunshine and cooling breezes. Beyond, the light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen area forms the heart of the home, with the contemporary kitchen appointed with stone benchtops, an induction cooktop, pyrolytic oven and dishwasher.
Two well-sized bedrooms are also positioned on this level, each featuring floor-to-ceiling built-in robes, alongside the main bathroom. Downstairs, the oversized main bedroom enjoys its own private entry, creating excellent flexibility for guests, older children, a home office or households seeking separation between living and sleeping zones. Double built-in robes with an internal power point add further practicality.
A large separate laundry, drying courtyard, extensive storage and a secure side-by-side double garage further enhance the home's everyday functionality. Split-system air conditioning is provided to the main living area and all three bedrooms, complemented by ceiling fans for year-round comfort.
