Hidden behind established tropical gardens on 807sqm in the heart of Edge Hill is a home that's difficult to appreciate until you step through the front door.
And perhaps that's exactly the point.
This isn't a cookie-cutter home with a predictable floorplan. It's a property that has evolved with the same family over more than 23 years, creating an incredibly private and adaptable home with space to live, work, entertain and spread out across two levels.
Upstairs forms the heart of the home. A welcoming sunroom opens into separate yet connected living and dining areas, while the substantial central kitchen provides excellent bench space, storage and a large island breakfast bar. Freshly sanded and polished timber floors bring warmth throughout the level.
Step outside and the reason this family has stayed so long becomes even clearer. The covered rear entertaining area overlooks the swimming pool and established tropical gardens, creating a private green backdrop that feels remarkably removed from its central Edge Hill location.
The master bedroom includes a generous walk-in wardrobe and air-conditioning, complemented by a second air-conditioned bedroom and beautifully renovated bathroom with walk-in shower and illuminated recessed niches.
Downstairs is where the possibilities really open up.
A third bedroom with built-in wardrobe is joined by two additional air-conditioned utility rooms, both with built-in storage, a second bathroom, spacious living area and internal laundry. Whether your household needs space for teenagers, guests, hobbies, working from home or simply somewhere everyone can retreat to, there is room here to make it work your way.
Existing plumbing also provides potential for additional food preparation facilities, subject to any necessary approvals, while a private front entry, internal staircase and direct rear-yard access create excellent separation between the two levels.
Additional features include:
- Three bedrooms plus two versatile utility rooms
- Multiple living spaces across two levels
- Air-conditioning throughout
- Renovated main bathroom
- Second downstairs bathroom
- Covered rear entertaining overlooking the in-ground pool
- Remote single garage with internal access
- Driveway access to both sides of the home
- Fully fenced side and rear yard
- Paved garden/work area beneath the rear deck
- Brand-new garden shed
- Established tropical gardens providing exceptional privacy
- Generous 807sqm allotment
And then there's the location.
Edge Hill State School is approximately 450 metres away, with Edge Hill Village, Piccones Village, the Botanic Gardens, Tanks Arts Centre and the Red Arrow all within easy reach. Cairns CBD and the airport are also just a short drive away.
This home won't be for everyone - nor was it designed to be.
But for the buyer who values privacy, land, genuine separation of living spaces and a home with some individuality, 16 Mazlin Street offers something increasingly difficult to find in Edge Hill.
After more than two decades with the same family, it's ready for someone new to discover just how much is hidden behind those gardens.
Come and explore it for yourself.
