AN early-1900s worker’s cottage in East Toowoomba has received a new lease on life.

A BEAUTIFULLY renovated, early-1900s worker’s cottage in East Toowoomba will go under the hammer next month.

The epitome of inner-city living and positioned in one of East Toowoomba’s tightest held pockets - the Caledonian Estate - 11 Burns St has been given a new lease on life.

The home has undergone an extensive restoration to accentuate its original polished timber floors and soaring ceilings, while blending modern luxuries. Both Queens and Mothers Memorial parks are within easy walking distance, and the location offers easy access to Toowoomba’s CBD.

Situated on 405 sq m, the cottage features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, original cast iron bath, wood fireplace, reverse cycle air-conditioning, and is fully fenced.

The auction will take place at 6pm on July 3 at Fitzy’s Tapestry Function Room, 153 Margaret St.
