Welcome to "Templeton", a beautifully maintained character Queenslander that perfectly captures the relaxed island lifestyle. Set amongst established gardens on a generous 809m² block in a peaceful no-through road, this charming home is just a leisurely stroll from Sandpiper Beach and the tranquil waters of Dalpura Bay.
From the moment you arrive, Templeton's classic Queenslander appeal is unmistakable. Wide verandahs wrap around three sides of the home, providing the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, entertain friends or simply relax and catch the cooling bay breezes. Elevated at the front and gently stepping down at the rear to follow the natural slope of the land, the home sits comfortably within its picturesque garden setting.
Inside, the home retains many of its original character features, including ornate cornices, decorative ceiling roses and beautiful French doors opening from the kitchen onto the side verandah.

Of course, in true Queensland style, you'll probably find yourself enjoying most meals on the deck, surrounded by birdsong and leafy gardens.
Accommodation includes three generous bedrooms, each boasting impressive built-in wardrobe space, along with a family bathroom and separate toilet.
A real bonus is the attic space, accessed via a staircase/ladder from the kitchen. Featuring a striking triangular glass feature that extends to the roof peak at the front and a window at the rear, this unique area is filled with natural light and offers exciting potential as a home office, artist's studio, reading retreat or simply excellent storage.
