FRESHWATER GRAND OLD LADY ON 1,741M2 GORGEOUS SPACIOUS QUEENSLANDER. HISTORY, CHARM, VERANDAHS, POOL. POTENTIAL TO SUBDIVIDE
This stunning home has so much character and blocks as large as this in Freshwater are extremely rare so we expect there to be huge interest in this property especially as it has not been on the market for 45 years. There’s a wonderful sense of history with the property particularly as the owners have incorporated some historic elements when they have renovated and extended the property over the years including lead lights from the old Calvary hospital and some windows from St Augustine’s Senior Dormitory and a door from station masters office at the old Cairns Central station. There are 4 bedrooms (one has been converted to a studio/office), 2 bathrooms plus a very large area underneath the house which is currently used as storage and office space. The living areas and the verandahs are very large and are very appealing spaces. Timber floors, high ceilings, beautiful windows and doors with good flow to verandahs and patio. The main verandah is where the owners spend a lot of time sitting out and enjoying the leafy outlook. There are also two large internal living spaces with plenty of room for formal dining, lounge plus a family room style area at the rear. Also at the rear is a patio adjacent to a large private inground pool. The kitchen is a delightful country farm house style with additional breakfast nook. Plenty of garden area for kids and dogs and there’s also a small existing shed with plenty of room to build a bigger one if required or room for a boat or caravan. You can just enjoy the large grounds with your family or this property has the potential to subdivide into two or three lots while retaining the house (Subject to Council Consent). A rare and beautiful example of the Queenslander style that is so appropriate for our lifestyle and climate and retains a wonderful sense of connection with the history of Cairns.
