This historic 1940s Queenslander was one of the original doctors' surgeries on what was then the main road from the South to the Far North.
It has been lovingly restored to its former beauty with a tasteful blend of the latest trends in kitchen and bathroom design.
With soaring ceilings, polished tongue-and-grooved timber floors, finials, a chandelier, and 62 fully restored casement windows with all-new latches, you can feel the nostalgia of yesteryear. The first lady I showed this property (before it hit the market) was almost overcome with emotion. You can feel the love that has been put into this home.
The kitchen is new, high-quality and completely practical. Featuring a new 900 Australian-made stainless steel oven, provincial porcelain under-bench dual sinks with rustic tapware and a huge central island bench, this is where the family will gather. The main living flows from here, but there are three other casual living areas, not including the magical wrap-around verandah enclosed by those casement windows that dance and play with the light throughout the day.
The master bedroom has a large walk-in robe, and there are two fully renovated bathrooms with separate toilets, and the second bathroom has a tub where you could soak in the bubbles with the breeze coming in through the surrounding casement windows and the scented candle spluttering away.
5 bedrooms in total means there is room when the in-laws visit, but be careful, at this home, they may not want to leave. The home is fully air-conditioned, elevated ( never to flood), with good views to the Palmerston Range and a very easy stroll to town.
