You will be instantly captivated and charmed by this 1950s Queenslander cottage that is not only larger than meets the eye but has also been FULLY RENOVATED with love by the current owners, only the second of two owners in this home’s lifetime. If you saw the condition the home was in when they purchased it as a ‘renovator’s delight’ in 2013 you will realise the great care and attention they have put in to ensure the home retained the character features of the era while modernising it for comfort and to suit today’s busy lifestyle and desire for lock and leave ease.
From the picture-perfect curbside appeal to the sunlit rooms, high ceilings with bullnose corners, quality fixtures and fittings and modern contemporary neutral décor, this home has a wonderfully relaxed and welcoming ambience.
The level fully fenced 809m2 parcel of land includes a 9 x 7m 3-bay powered shed with 2.7m high clearance and dual remote access, perfect for securely parking 2 cars, storing your tools and housing the boat after a day exploring the local waterways. There’s plenty of room on the property for your caravan too. The backyard also includes a thriving veggie garden, hedging to the side and loads of room for a pool, large alfresco area, kids play equipment and for your four-legged best friend to run around.
Located in one of West Mackay’s best and most tightly held streets, this lovely home is a stone’s throw from everything you could ever need or desire, no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Why we LOVE 11 Jackson Street…
- The blue-chip location – Spend less time in the car & more time doing the things you love, like taking a stroll around the gorgeous Botanic Gardens, meeting friends for breakfast or coffee at the Gardens Cafe or casting a line in the Pioneer River, both within easy walking distance from your front door. This home is also close to all conveniences, amenities & recreational facilities, including dining out options, the scenic Blue Water Trail, the hospital, schools, shopping centres & key employment hubs
– Flooded with natural light & fully air-conditioned – High ceilings & plenty of windows & open space ensure a light-filled interior, a quality not often seen in homes of this era. The home also has split system a/c units installed in every room & a stainless-steel ceiling fan in the master bedroom & the lounge room for interior comfort in all conditions
- The extent of the renovations – The home was completely rebuilt with the replacement of concrete stumps to steel stump where needed, new gutters, Colorbond roof & the remote access electric gate in hard-wearing & attractive powder-coated alloy. The owners worked sustainably, retaining the material they could, including the existing hardwood framing, to maintain the integrity of the era. It has been completely rewired and the entire interior has been designed with low maintenance ease & relaxed Queenslander style in mind. Easy-clean & modern ceramic tiles flow from the cosy front lounge room through to the large open plan kitchen/dining room & the rest of the home, with the exception of the master bedroom, which is carpeted
- The kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional – Reminiscent of the large, welcoming eat-in kitchens seen in American sitcoms, this kitchen/dining area has space for a large dining table as well as a study nook. The kitchen features Caesarstone benchtops, 2-pac cabinetry with soft close cupboards, tiled splash back, stainless appliances Bosch 4 burner gas stove and oven, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, double-door fridge recess & a double-door pantry. There’s even a gorgeous statement chandelier for ambient lighting in addition to the practicality of LED lighting
- The private master bedroom – Positioned at the front of the home, the master bedroom is spacious & features carpet for comfort, 3-door built-in wardrobe & quality window treatments. Bedroom 2 is also generously sized & positioned to the rear of the home, giving parents privacy or making a quiet home office or guest room. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned, and the master also has a ceiling fan
- Beautifully appointed bathroom & laundry with second toilet – The attention to quality & detail doesn’t end with the kitchen. Both the bathroom & internal laundry feature stone benchtops & plenty of storage in 2-pac joinery. The natural light-filled bathroom also features modern floor to ceiling tiles, semi-frameless glass shower & a separate lowline bathtub. There is a handy second toilet in the laundry
- Storage galore – In addition to the abundant storage in the kitchen, bathroom & laundry, there’s also a large floor to ceiling linen closet in the hallway made from matching 2-pac joinery & a 3-bay high clearance Colorbond shed out the back
- The blank canvas backyard – There is so much potential here to transform the level, fully-fenced backyard into your ideal sanctuary. Install a pool, build a pergola, do some additional landscaping, extend the veggie patch, put in a chook run, a kids play gym, a firepit area, whatever you wish. Or do nothing at all & enjoy the space for endless games of backyard cricket & soccer
- More to love – Additional features include high quality low energy consuming LED lighting, double insulation to the roof and insulation to the wall cladding, security screens & security sensor lights throughout, security doors to the front & rear entries, timber venetians to the main living areas & sheers to the bedrooms
