Peacefully positioned among established trees and native wildlife, this character-filled timber home offers a tranquil mountain lifestyle on approximately one acre. Despite its serene setting, the property remains approximately 20 minutes from the Toowoomba CBD and within a short drive of Wilsonton Shopping Centre, schools and parklands.
The home features four generously proportioned bedrooms, with built-in robes to Bedrooms 1 and 2. Traditional details including VJ walls, high ceilings, timber flooring and decorative timberwork bring warmth and character throughout.
At the centre of the home, the spacious lounge room features a ceiling fan and wood heater set against a brick hearth. The oversized rumpus room provides a substantial second living area, while large windows frame the surrounding treetops and rural outlook.
The practical kitchen is equipped with electric cooking appliances, a double-bowl sink, pantry and generous bench and cupboard space. Air-conditioning and a ceiling fan add comfort, while the adjoining dining area provides an easy setting for everyday meals.
Two bathrooms service the home. One offers direct access from Bedroom 4 and includes a separate shower, bathtub, vanity and toilet. The second features a shower over a corner spa bath and vanity, complemented by a separate second toilet. An internal laundry includes a single wash tub and built-in bench.
Outside, the L-shaped semi-enclosed verandah extends across the front and side of the home, providing a sheltered place to enjoy the elevated outlook. The 4,046m² allotment also includes a fenced backyard, detached 3.0m x 2.0m garden shed, rainwater tank and septic system.
Beneath the home is a secure 6.0m x 6.0m double lock-up garage, accompanied by a separate 6.0m x 2.4m storage area. Offering generous proportions, original character and further renovation potential, this is a unique opportunity to create a special home in a peaceful Gowrie Mountain setting.
