* Historic 1920s Queenslander
* Front & side verandahs
* Establish Gardens
* Corner block, 500m to beach
Set on a leafy corner block just 500 metres from the beach, this elevated 1920s Queenslander captures the timeless beauty of classic tropical living — full of history, character, and charm.
Originally built in Digger Street, Cairns, as part of the Soldier Settlement Houses for returning Diggers after World War I, the home still carries unique touches from its early years, including coins discovered in the skirting boards. Thoughtful updates over time have preserved its authenticity while enhancing comfort.
When relocated to its current site in 1996, the home retained its original front and side verandahs, while a new back verandah was constructed using beautiful reclaimed timber from a demolished Catholic church in Gordonvale. Classic features remain throughout, including casement windows, silky oak kitchen joinery and roof trusses, and brass Legg & Co. door handles.
Upstairs offers three bedrooms, with the main featuring a large walk-in robe. One of the secondary bedrooms has been intelligently divided to create two usable room spaces, offering flexibility for a fourth bedroom, office, or studio. The Queensland-style bathroom is light-filled with traditional casement windows.
Downstairs provides exceptional versatility with a large multipurpose room that has previously served as a bedroom, media room, music room, and green-room, allowing the property to function comfortably as a 5-bedroom home if desired. This level also includes a second bathroom, a large laundry/utility kitchen area, ample storage, and a spacious undercover entertaining area. Covered parking sits conveniently beside the home.
The gardens are a thriving tropical haven featuring cocoa, coffee, rambutan, pomelo, citrus, mango, soursop, dragonfruit, vanilla, heliconias, gingers, orchids, frangipanis, and more, an edible and ornamental paradise.
Perfectly positioned, the home is close to the local school, splash pad, and a new restaurant opening soon, making it ideal for families and lifestyle seekers.
