HOME IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST
WIDE verandas decorated with fretwork, open-plan living areas, wooden floors and casement windows.
The Gold Coast is not known for Queenslanderstyle houses but Lloyd and Pam Nugent are hoping theirs will strike a chord with house hunters.
The 100-year-old Queenslander in Labrador is for sale for offers over $899,000. It has a raft of traditional features from the early 1900s.
“The people who owned it originally could see the Hinterland and the Broadwater so they called it Two Views,” Mr Nugent said. The Nugents paid $150,000 for the property in 1996 but said it was in desperate need of a revamp.
“It had been terribly neglected,” he said.
“But I could always see it had potential to be a nice home.”
The three-bedroom residence features a pool, fire pit, open plan kitchen, living and dining areas as well as an outdoor entertaining area.
