SOLD with Diane Bray! Classic Queenslander Living with renovation potential!
Cute as can be, with original tongue and groove walls and timber floors freshly painted in a modern white and black colour scheme, this Queenslander Classic Australian design home – circa 1940s, features a statement-stained glass panel front door in black, casement and louvre windows, covered sunroom/veranda, specifically designed for tropical climates. We boast soaring high ceilings and a central hallway, combining elegant, breezy living with sustainable, passive design and 569m² with three street frontages and renovation possibilities.
Open and flowing with breezes from front to back and side to side, gracing the home from living spaces to the three bedrooms. Funky light fittings in the Master and lounge and track lighting in the kitchen, twist on the classic yet accent chic. Glossy timber benchtops and timber kitchen cabinets, sing the harmony of this beautiful interior, and the large French doors opening to the entertainment area bring the outdoors in and create seamless movement from one to the other. The bathroom has been renovated to modern comforts and is on the same level as the house.
Outside the alfresco dining and living area is spacious for family gatherings or entertaining and discreet rustic laundry. The fabulous large fully fenced yard featuring shady trees, garden, a huge double carport with high clearance, 6m x 3m x 2.4m (approx) workshop shed, garden shed, has room left over for your other ideas and improvements. Perhaps you will plan a pool, granny flat or larger shed for your grown-up toys or maybe need the room for kids or pets to play.
Key features and elements of this Queenslander home include:

• Design & Layout: High ceilings, large casement and louvre windows, French doors, and Breezeways to maximize natural ventilation. Raised on concrete stumps for ventilation and flood protection.
