Steeped in family history and brimming with warmth, “Cooloolah” has been a much-loved home for more than 65 years. The journey began with the original owners living in the garage until the arrival of their third child, marking the family’s move into the main home. Back then, only dirt roads surrounded the property, yet it was here that a legacy of love, laughter, and togetherness began. Over the decades, the gardens were lovingly nurtured, becoming the pride of the neighbourhood, with the iconic front bottle tree standing tall as a gentle witness to countless family memories.
Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming foyer leading to three carpeted bedrooms, each with built-in robes handcrafted by the owner’s brother. The main bedroom also features a sit-down vanity and wall-mounted air-conditioning unit. The light-filled living area showcases polished timber floors, a ceiling fan, and French doors opening to the slate-tiled enclosed patio, a secure, all-weather space ideal for morning coffee, entertaining, or enjoying the established corner garden. At the heart of the home, the original retro-styled kitchen provides generous storage, a wall oven, and a stainless-steel sink.
An updated bathroom provides modern convenience, including a shower, spacious vanity with ample storage, and a toilet, complemented by a second toilet off the kitchen and laundry area. The home also features abundant storage throughout, with additional space underneath for garden tools, bicycles, sporting gear, or anything else you need to keep your outdoor and recreational equipment neatly organised and easily accessible.
Outdoors, “Cooloolah” is a haven of sprawling lawns, hand-laid stone pathways, leafy trees, and flowering gardens. Breezes and birdlife are a daily delight. Rainwater tanks, a terracotta tiled roof, and a security system add practicality, while the enchanting gardens promise a lifestyle of peace and charm on a generous 809m2 block.
This is more than a house—it’s a place where history, heart, and home converge. Ready for its next chapter, “Cooloolah” invites you to imagine your family’s future within its walls.
