Ah, the romance of the Queenslander … lofty ceilings, breezy verandahs to sleep on or survey the stars, the warm patina of wood and decorative details that speak of a more elegant age. At 705 Cooroy Belli Creek Road, Black Mountain, you will find a rare beauty: a 1918 Queenslander transported to its hilltop site in 1988 and now offered for sale with almost all its original features still intact.
This four bedroom home has raised a family and provided decades of happiness with northerly views to Lake Cooroibah and the sandblow and southerly views all the way to Mount Eerwah, Mt Glorious and Kenilworth Bluff.
The rooms are large with high, decorative ceilings, original fanlights, French doors, tongue and groove walls and hardwood flooring that could be transformed with a swift sand and polish. A simply furnished, but charming dine-in country kitchen offers views over a flower-filled window box as well as access to the verandah, garden and a spacious living room with combustion heater for cosy winter nights. The home has four attractive bedrooms (two of them queen-size) and offers scope for refreshing or remodelling to provide ensuites and walk-in robes. The existing bathroom is functional, but, like this lovely home and hilltop garden, would respond readily to some TLC.
Access to the property is excellent. The school bus stops at the end of the drive and the thriving town of Cooroy with schools, shops, train station, pool, library and world cinema film society is just 10 minutes away.
