They don't build many homes like this anymore. Solid construction, beautiful rainforest timber floors, generous proportions and a backyard where you can pick your own fruit, entertain friends and still have room for your next big idea.
Welcome to 7 Hogan Street, Westcourt, a much-loved family home on a fenced 759sqm allotment, offering four bedrooms, exceptional outdoor space and the flexibility to make it your own.
Built around 1970, the home combines solid concrete block construction with distinctive red-brick veneer and the warmth of genuine rainforest hardwood timber flooring.
And there's more beautiful timber hiding beneath the bedroom carpets!
A HOME WITH OPTIONS.
The spacious living and dining area provides plenty of room to relax, complemented by split-system air-conditioning and a practical kitchen featuring electric cooking, dishwasher and excellent storage.
All four bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the fourth bedroom adjoining the living area originally forming part of the larger lounge.
Unlike the home's masonry walls, this partition is non-masonry, presenting an interesting opportunity for buyers who may prefer three bedrooms and an even more expansive living space.
With five split-system air-conditioners throughout the property, comfort is well catered for.
BUILT WITH SUBSTANCE.
Another often-overlooked advantage is the home's raised timber floor construction, supported by concrete piers rather than traditional timber stumps.
It's a valuable construction detail in an established Cairns home, providing separation between the timber flooring and ground level while allowing airflow beneath the property.
The accessible subfloor is another practical benefit, providing useful access to plumbing and services for future maintenance and renovation planning.
A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE PLANT LOVERS.
At the front of the home, a sheltered patio framed by classic red-brick arches and decorative metal security grilles offers a wonderful opportunity to create your very own tropical garden atrium.
Imagine sitting back and enjoying the cooling afternoon breezes, surrounded by hanging orchids, cascading ferns and lush tropical greenery. For the discerning plant parent, this could become a very special space.
STEP OUTSIDE. THERE'S EVEN MORE TO LOVE.
The enormous double garage measures approximately 6.6m x 6.0m and features two remote-controlled front doors, with a third remote-controlled door providing drive-through access.
Two generous covered patios, measuring approximately 7.2m x 3.5m and 7.3m x 3.3m, deliver almost 50sqm of combined outdoor entertaining space, or room for more vehicles.
And beyond the entertaining areas, there's a proper backyard!
Established custard apple, lime, lemon, orange and kumquat trees offer your own collection of homegrown produce, surrounded by established gardens and plenty of space for children and pets.
Bore water adds another practical advantage, while a solid concrete storage shed provides space for tools and garden equipment.
For buyers dreaming of a swimming pool, additional shedding or exploring further development potential, the available sewer mapping indicates the main sewer line is outside the allotment, potentially offering greater flexibility for future improvements, subject to council requirements, service locations and all necessary approvals.
