It’s not often the opportunity to purchase one of Eumundi’s iconic Queenslanders presents itself. The point of difference with this one is it’s central location in the heart of Eumundi and the unusual dual zoning both commercial and residential that paves the way for an entrepreneurial owner to take advantage of the 3,000 tourists per average week that visit the Eumundi Markets.
3 Gridley St started out life as the creation of a local timber hauler and his midwife spouse. First photographed in 1903, the high set Queenslander has seen duty as a farmhouse, Catholic church, police station (complete with lock-up), even a postmaster's house in its long life. More recent decades have seen it operate as a highly successful art gallery. The current owner has happily run the gallery since 1997 and is now ready to hand over the property to freshly inspired new owners.
So the choice is yours, restore the house to it’s former glory, maybe rent it out as one or two holiday apartments or live in it yourself, enjoying all that Eumundi has to offer. You could dabble in a small retail enterprise from the street level on markets days or jump in boots and all by expanding along the street frontage to the tune of multiple boutique shops. So many exciting possibilities!
