Set on a whopping 1265 square metre allotment, this quaint 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom weatherboard cottage, with charming original features, is quite alluring. Located in the heart of South Toowoomba, with highly regarded primary and secondary schools less than a few minutes’ drive away, this property is ideally positioned. Rosemount Cottage Kindergarten & Pre-School is across the road. Major shopping centres and sporting facilities are within a 1-kilometre radius (including the home of Down’s rugby Gold Park Sporting Club, Nell E. Robinson Park, Club Toowoomba and the City Golf Club). It’s less than a 5-minute drive to the C.B.D., and public transport is just around the corner.
Sitting prettily behind a traditional picket fence, the established and well-maintained cottage garden leads to the east facing covered front porch. Once inside, the anticipated character features will appeal. Soaring ceilings decorated with timber batons, VJ boards, picture rails, and beautiful, gloriously wide timber floors all combine to produce a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of a by gone era. The focal point of the spacious, air-conditioned living area is undoubtedly the stunning timber fireplace, enhanced by the natural light streaming in from the north-eastern windows. The separate eat-in country kitchen is in keeping with the cottage feel. Abundant bench space, stainless appliances (including a dishwasher) and gas cooking compliment the ambience. The timber floor continues into the adjacent built-in and air-conditioned bedrooms. They share a modern bathroom and separate toilet. An additional bathroom (which includes the laundry) is accessed from the impressive, covered deck extending the entire width of the home and continuing around the inviting pool. Mature trees and loads of lawn, a 3-bay shed – able to accommodate an extra 3 vehicles, (there is a carport at the side of the home) and a garden shed complete the back yard. This considerable space leads directly onto Gold Park oval, via a private rear gate.
With a 6.6Kw solar system and 5Kw battery included, 313 Hume Street is a terrific, conveniently located property, full of charm, with enticing outdoor spaces and handy sporting amenities for the entire family.
