Welcome to 38 Down Street, Gulliver - a beautifully maintained, character-filled home dating back to the circa 1950s, set on an impressive 1,214m² corner allotment. Brimming with personality, privacy, and practicality, this home combines timeless features with thoughtful modern upgrades - all in a central, highly convenient location.
Step inside to discover three spacious bedrooms, two fresh and modern bathrooms, and a generous separate lounge that invites relaxation. The large kitchen is ideal for any home cook, complete with a great pantry and an impressive 900mm wide stove that even serious chefs will appreciate. There's a dedicated diningroom, perfect for family meals and entertaining guests.
The home's traditional weatherboard and iron construction is complemented by wrought iron window grilles - a beautiful feature that also provides security and ventilation, allowing you to enjoy North Queensland's breezes year-round. External privacy screens add to the serene, secluded feel of the home.
The gardens are lush and well-established, nourished by a bore, and there's outdoor seating at both the front and rear, offering multiple spaces to unwind or entertain. The driveway and outdoor areas are neatly presented and low-maintenance. This home has been cared for, enhanced and is beautifully presented for its new owners.
Recent upgrades include:
• New roof (2018)
• New bathroom, toilet & laundry (2018)
• Solar hot water system with booster (May 2024)
• 8kW solar system with bird proofing (2024)
• Air conditioners regularly serviced; some as new as late 2023
• Three-bay shed, with two roller doors and an additional carport (2017)
Remarkably, the current residents haven't received a power bill in three years, thanks to the efficient solar setup and smart design choices.
