Set on a whopping 1538 square metre allotment, with an east to west alignment, is this near century old, double gable worker’s cottage. Located on the C.B.D. fringe and offering capital growth prospects, the quiet area is benefiting from street and area revitalization. Council proposes a pedestrian and cycle link from the recently developed Railway Precinct Parklands, extending to the north. Flanked by council owned land, the mixed use zone includes Martin Klein Park (which backs onto the east) and numerous council owned buildings across the road and parallel to Gowrie Creek. (Plans exist for the removal of sheds.) Tennis courts are part of adjoining North Toowoomba Park, Bunnings is 800m away and schools are within a few minutes’ drive, as is North Point Shopping Centre.

In keeping with the style of the era, the appealing timber faade hints at the quintessential features inside, including soaring ornate plaster ceilings, attractive fretwork, timber floors, original doors and windows, VJ boards and of course bucket loads of charm. In need of some tender loving care, the fully fenced 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home would respond to a sympathetic, modern restoration, or alternatively, could be relocated and extended upon.
The allotment to the south has been successfully redeveloped to include 12 ultra-modern units, already benefiting from the increased liveability of this up and coming precinct. 4 Link Street also occupies the same favourable, back to front, slope topography.

North Toowoomba’s popularity is rapidly gaining attention. This property offers city convenience with the potential for modern living.
