Behind the white picket fence at 19 Short Street is a classic high-set Queenslander that has been lovingly renovated without losing its character. Think painted VJ walls, raked ceilings, ornate fretwork vents and crystal chandeliers, paired with new timber-look flooring, fresh paint inside and out, and modern fittings throughout. With 155 m² of living on the main level, there is room here for the whole family.
Step in from the front porch to a generous 6.3 m living room, cooled by a split system and ceiling fan. Beyond it, the open-plan family and dining area flows to the renovated kitchen, the hub of the home. The kitchen features Smeg appliances, a gas cooktop with stainless rangehood, wall oven and microwave nook, a striking turquoise subway-tile splashback, plenty of storage, and a breakfast bar with a servery through to the family room. Windows over the sink look straight out to the backyard.
The master suite is a standout. A huge 5.4 m walk-through robe leads to a fully renovated ensuite with a skylight, a deep oval bath, a rain shower behind frameless glass and a separate toilet. Two further bedrooms are serviced by a second renovated bathroom with its own bath and separate shower. A light-filled home office runs along the front of the house, perfect for working from home.
Outside, the large, level backyard is ready for kids, pets and weekend cricket, with established gardens, raised vegetable beds, fruit trees and a gravel fire-pit area for winter nights. The high-set design gives you a huge covered space underneath for entertaining, storage, a workshop or extra parking. A long carport plus a second gated driveway mean there is room for the boat, trailer or van.
A 6.6 kW solar system, still under warranty, helps keep power bills down. And the location is hard to beat: a short stroll to Barney Point Beach and only minutes to Gladstone's CBD, shops, the marina and the port.
