In recent years, sensitive restoration has ensured the home's lasting integrity. A new colorbond corrugated roof, complete with cappings, flashings, and fixtures, has been installed with Aircell insulation for superior climate efficiency. New battens, straps, and fixings designed to meet Cyclonic Design Standards were fitted where required, while new gutters to the house and rear skillion roof were seamlessly integrated to preserve the home's timeless aesthetic.
The exterior, freshly repainted in 2022, complements the home's enduring appeal, while a removable shade-cloth carport offers flexible, drive-through access to the backyard.
In the rear garden, beneath the whisper of mature trees, stands the original horse stables a poignant reminder of the home's cane-farming heritage and the stories that shaped its foundations.
Proudly elevated and rich in character, this Queenslander is more than a home it is a heritage treasure, where history lingers in every timber and each sunrise begins a new chapter in its enduring tale.
