They don’t call her ‘The Grand Dame of Hinton’ for nothing. This prestigious, one-of-a-kind home is truly a sight to behold, with rich history and care dating all the way back to 1950. Just one glance at her tall-standing vintage façade – primed with a fresh coat of paint and flattered by the vibrant accents of stained-glass windows – is enough for anyone to fall head over heels in love. Big, bold and beautiful, this old girl in the heart of well-connected Mackay is built to hold the lifetime of cherished memories your family will create here.
By the time you cross the white picket boundary via the secure electric gate and scale the external staircase, you’ll be dying to get inside and see all this exquisite home has to offer. And she never disappoints – polished timber floors, high ceilings and tongue-and-groove walls are just some of the stunning traditional design features you’ll find, all with a light, neutral palette for a fresh and airy feel throughout. Upstairs is the heart of the home, with expansive living and dining zones right by the central kitchen. But you certainly won’t be short on living space, as the home is host to a number of multipurpose zones upstairs and down, inside and out.
When it comes to entertaining, it hardly gets better than this. Bring everyone together for a BBQ on the timber deck overlooking your sprawling backyard before heading down to toast some marshmallows under the stars in the cosy fire pit area. The fully-enclosed backyard is versatile and totally usable – install a pool, spa, larger shed, you name it! Once the night starts to wind down, there’ll be no need for your loved ones to make the journey back home as your 7 airconditioned bedrooms could practically accommodate the entire family tree!
