Timeless Queensland Charm, Space & Character – A Home That's Hard to Recreate!

Step into a home with character, warmth and a sense of space that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in modern construction. This charming lowset, tongue-and-groove timber Queensland home offers four bedrooms, one bathroom and two toilets, with a thoughtfully arranged floor plan, polished timber floorboards and beautiful high ceilings that give the home an elevated sense of space and character. With today's building costs, material prices and construction delays, recreating these traditional features in a new home can be a costly undertaking. Here is an opportunity to secure a property with its own established charm, practical layout and tropical appeal.

As you enter through the wide front french doors, you are welcomed into a generous rumpus room, currently used as a dinning room. This versatile space flows to the kitchen on the left and straight forward it continues through to the open dining and lounge area, currently arranged as an office and spacious living room. The flexible layout offers room to adapt the home to suit your own lifestyle, whether you need space for entertaining, working from home or simply spreading out with the family.

The accommodation is thoughtfully positioned across both sides of the home. One bedroom and a separate toilet are located to the left, while three further spacious bedrooms are positioned to the right. Bedrooms 1-3 offer built-in wardrobes and/or shelving, air-conditioning and ceiling fans. The main living and dining area, along with right bedroom wing, benefits from exceptionally high ceilings - a standout feature that enhances the feeling of openness and promotes a sense of airflow. Combined with the polished timber floorboards and traditional tongue-and-groove internal walls, these details deliver the distinctive charm and warmth of a classic Queensland timber home.
At the rear, a good-sized undercover patio provides a practical outdoor area to relax or entertain. The generously sized bathroom incorporates the laundry and a second toilet, adding everyday convenience to the floor plan.

Outside, the property continues to deliver practical features for families, gardeners and investors alike. Set on a fully fenced 812 m² freehold allotment, the property includes double undercover concrete parking, a children's playground and sandpit, and a small garden shed. Established front shade trees help shelter the home from the afternoon sun, while tropical privacy planting along the right-hand side adds greenery and seclusion.
The traditional casement windows complement the home's original character, while an important structural improvement has already been undertaken, with the timber stumps replaced by steel and concrete supports. The elevated under-house clearance also provides useful access beneath much of the home for maintenance and trades.

Currently rented at $480 per week, with the existing lease scheduled to end in November 2026, this property may appeal to investors seeking established rental income or buyers looking for a character home to make their own. The property is zoned Low Density Residential.
