This house is truly one of a kind! It has so many individual and unique features that you won’t find anywhere else. The original historic house has been incorporated beautifully into the top floor of the modern buildings and still retains some of the original light fittings. The builder also sourced windows and doors from old Queenslanders in the area to fit with the theme ‘Modern Queenslanders’. The glass splashbacks in the kitchen are made from an individual design. Even the uprights on the wide staircase were made individually by a craftsman in Maryborough. The veranda has been nailed with round headed copper nails, which means drilling every hole! The craftsmanship in the home is superb!
The property is located one street from Scarness beach on an elevated position, surrounded by shops, restaurants and coffee shops.
Upstairs the property incorporates the original old house including the original doors and windows giving you the true Queenslander architect throughout.
The wider staircase takes you up to the large open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The beautiful Fraser Island Hardwood floors and the 10 ft ceilings – the first thing you notice when you enter the open plan living, dining and kitchen area.
The gourmet kitchen offers you stainless steel bench tops with handmade glass splash backs and quality appliances with extensive cupboards and a walk-in pantry.
There are three bedrooms upstairs, with two entertainment areas that are fully screened overlooking the Esplanade with sea views.
There is ducted multi zoned reverse air-conditioning throughout the home and a ducted vacuum maid.
