REFLECTS BEST OF THE NORTH

This enchanting Queenslander offers airy, spacious and relaxed living on the city fringe, ideal for a young family or couple seeking to grow their family

A CHARMING Queenslander home only moments from Cairns CBD offers a lifestyle that reflects all that is best about living in Far North Queensland, with a light-filled and expansive interior and a generously-sized outdoor timber entertaining deck.

Just 800m from Cairns Central shopping centre, this adorable home has authentic character features throughout with original tongue-and-groove walls, high ceilings, dark timber feature French doors, and beautiful original green leadlight casement feature windows.

A stand out feature is the beautiful, light-filled front room with original frosted glass shutter style windows, a perfect spot to relax or study.

Explore Property agent Nateisha Olufson said traditional Queenslander homes had been a market scarcity in the past year.

“They don’t come on the market very often, and somebody is definitely going to find this a beautiful space to live in,” she said.

“It is a rare find – very well-presented and looked after with the feature French doors contributing an element that’s a little bit different.

“It still has the original 1940s green-panelled casement windows at the front, and the timber deck built on to the back is great as the kitchen server just opens out on to it,” Ms Olufson said.

“And it’s in a really fantastic location, close to the city, Cairns Central, Rusty;s markets and the Esplanade.”

Ample benchspace and storage, and gas cooking facilities make for an appealing and functional kitchen.

The deck has attractive timber top rails and a character overhead fan with lighting, and the garden is a well-established, low-maintenance private enclave with a lawn to spread out on. There’s even a vegetable and herb garden.

Well-established and hardy shrubbery planting at the front requires little upkeep, and there’s scope to cultivate more greenery for creative gardeners.

Four bedrooms are perfect for a growing family. The property has polished timber floorboards throughout, louvres above the French doors to make the most of breezes, and split system air-conditioning to bedrooms.

It is an easy to maintain 405m2 block.
