The original Queenslander home which was extensively renovated in 2007 (with design work by Beach Architects of Bangalow), blends some classic “Queenslander” period features with more modern additions which result in cross-ventilation and high ceilings providing natural cooling and comfortable living.
Warmth is provided by the centrally located slow combustion wood fireplace. There is also a gas jet for a gas heater and a split system air-conditioner.
The gas kitchen, living and dining is of an open plan layout with the kitchen bench-tops crafted from Crows Foot Ash timber recovered from a local church.
Adjacent to the main residence and just few steps across the timber breezeway is the annexe which features a double bedroom and en-suite. This can be used as guest accommodation and also enjoys views over the swimming pool and the lagoon.
