Welcome to 12 Gavegan Street, a stunning Queenslander nestled on a tree lined street in one of Bundaberg's most sought-after pockets. Framed by blooming jacaranda trees and surrounded by long standing, welcoming neighbours, the home rests gently on a sprawling 1012m2 block, offering space, history, and heart.
From the moment you arrive, you feel it, the familiar sense of comfort, the warmth of polished timber floors underfoot, and the soft, filtered light spilling through original breezeways. There's a timeless grace here, reminiscent of early settler charm, where every detail tells a story, from horizontal VJ panelling to intricate timber fretwork and decorative archways that elegantly mark the transition between the living spaces. Ceiling fans are installed throughout the home, enhancing airflow and comfort in every room.
The upper level embraces a large open plan design, with the lounge, dining, kitchen, and sunroom all flowing together into one big, light filled area that's perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The upper lounge features an electric fireplace and air conditioning, creating a warm and inviting space.
The kitchen is a delight, a mix of Hamptons elegance and farmhouse charm, featuring raw timber benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, dishwasher, a freestanding four burner cooktop, a large fridge space, and a convenient pull out pantry. Thoughtful shelving provides space for exposed jarware, adding both functionality and a touch of rustic character.
The master suite is a true retreat, with a luxurious full ensuite featuring a combined toilet, vanity, and large shower space. The expansive walkin wardrobe is thoughtfully designed with builtin drawers, shelves, and plenty of hanging space, providing ample room for clothing and accessories. Plush carpet, gentle air conditioning, and a ceiling fan, with sunlight streaming in, create a comfortable and inviting space.
Three additional upper level bedrooms are equally spacious and comfortable, ideal for children, guests, or a home office. Five of the six bedrooms feature ceiling fans, adding comfort throughout the home. The main bathroom on this level is a stunning feature, complete with a beautiful antique style clawfoot bath, a shower, and a combined toilet, offering a classic touch alongside practicality.
Down one step to the lower level, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a second lounge room with air conditioning, a toilet, another shower, and a full laundry with timber benchtops. This level is incredibly practical and adaptable, and it could easily be converted into a dual occupancy space, perfect for extended family, guests, or rental income. With private external access to the backyard, it's a self contained area that adds versatility and long term value to the home.
Outdoors, the sense of space continues. The covered entertaining area, complete with a pizza oven, is perfect for lively family gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The double garage, currently a creative space, is ideal for a home office, teenage retreat, or peaceful escape. The property also offers excellent side access, allowing you to drive a vehicle down the side of the home into the backyard. With a large block, there's plenty of room for a shed, additional caravan or boat storage, and still space left over for recreation. An established chicken coop is tucked away at the rear, while the fully fenced yard with new PVC fencing at the front ensures safety, privacy, and peace of mind. With lush lawn, a veggie patch, and room to plant and potter, the backyard is both practical and inviting.
