Above the door of this gorgeous 100 year old Queenslander is written ‘Cead mile Failre’ – Gaelic for ‘Welcome’ and that is what this house exudes. It embodies classic romance, warmth, charm and friendliness. It offers fabulous street appeal nestled in amongst leafy cool trees it has the certain air of allure and mystery – just driving by your muse ‘I would love to see inside that house’.
As you first step foot onto the rich polished floor boards you notice whisps of coolness circulate around you caused by the natural breezes flowing along the generous central hallway. You are immediately aware that you have walked back in history as your eyes take in the VJ walls, high ceilings, French doors opening from all bedrooms onto the verandah’s and beautiful fretwork above the doors. There are two large bedrooms on either side of the front door, the main has an en suite but none of this is sophisticated, it is so refreshingly layback yet rich as though good for the soul.
Down the hallway to the main living area traditionally, sensibly located in the middle of the house. From this hub there is another bathroom leading off and another bedroom, once again with French doors opening onto the Verandah. The kitchen is quite obviously very 70′s with its bright green laminex benches and pine cupboards; it is very functional but it offers you a wonderful opportunity for you to realize your own dream kitchen instead of buying someone else’s. The adjoining dining area has windows that all open out to take in the garden and there is an office beside.
As with all home of this elk it is the expansive, attractive verandahs perfect for entertaining that are so gorgeous, offering huge amounts of outdoor living area perfect of course for BBQ’s and wiling away our balmy evenings. The 1012sqm block is almost flat, has some lovely trees including an old Macadamia and has side access from the street.
This iconic Queenslander represents an exceptional opportunity for further refurbishment and development, the owners have made plans available. Situated in one of Cleveland’s favourite streets just minutes from the centre this is a rare opportunity to purchase of the loveliest houses in near original condition in Cleveland – a sensational property with so much potential.
