Welcome to 40 Cortes Drive, Thabeban, a charming and character-filled family home positioned in a quiet local street within one of Thabeban's sought-after flood-free pockets. Set amongst predominantly owner-occupied homes, this property offers a wonderful sense of community while remaining incredibly convenient to everyday amenities.
Tucked away in a peaceful side street, the corner position provides an added sense of space, privacy and flexibility. With the new Bundaberg Hospital precinct nearby, Thabeban State School approximately 0.5 - 0.7km away, St Mary's Catholic Primary School approximately 1km away and Bundaberg's wider amenities within an easy five-minute drive, the location is particularly appealing for families.
From the moment you arrive, the established gardens and character-filled facade create an inviting first impression. Solidly constructed with brick and hardwood framing, the home offers a sturdy foundation for family living, with a generous footprint and plenty of room to make it your own.
Step inside and discover the home's standout feature: soaring cathedral ceilings that create an incredible sense of height and space throughout the main living area. The open-plan design brings the lounge, dining and kitchen together, while exposed brickwork, VJ panelling and impressive ceiling heights give the home a distinctive personality that is increasingly sought-after. There is a warmth and individuality here that is difficult to replicate in newer homes.
The spacious kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and storage, generous bench space and room for a dishwasher, all while remaining connected to the main living and dining areas.
Accommodation comprises four generously sized bedrooms, each complete with built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. Adding further versatility is the separate rumpus room with its own adjoining toilet. This flexible space could serve as a fifth bedroom, children's retreat, second living area, playroom, home office or additional dining space, depending on your family's needs.
The main bathroom is neat and practical, featuring a shower over the bath and a full-length vanity. Security screens to the doors and windows provide an added layer of comfort and security throughout the home.
Outside, a large undercover patio creates an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying time with family. Beyond this, the generous grassed backyard provides plenty of room for children and pets, complemented by a garden shed and ample usable outdoor space.
The corner allotment presents an additional opportunity for those needing space for a caravan, boat, trailer or other recreational vehicles. While the property does not currently have dedicated side access, the existing Colorbond fencing could potentially be modified by installing gates to create access to the yard, subject to the layout and suitability of the property. This gives the next owner the flexibility to customise the outdoor space to better suit their lifestyle.
Currently leased at $560 per week until February 2027, the property offers an appealing opportunity for investors, with the upcoming lease renewal providing the potential to review the rental return. The property currently has a rental appraisal of approximately $650 per week, with the opportunity to further increase this to approximately $680 per week through the addition of air conditioning and a dishwasher.
