Character, Charm and Convenience

A rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully maintained property with local historical significance. Situated in a flood free, elevated position, this high set timber home is clad in hardwood weatherboards and features high ceilings, polished timber floors , stained glass windows and VJ timber interior walls. Originally built in the 1920's as a workers cottage for the nearby Mount Crosby Water Treatment Plant, the craftsmanship used in its construction has certainly stood the test of time. <br/><br/>Three of the bedrooms are upstairs with built in wardrobes, fans and reverse cycle air conditioning in two of the bedrooms. The main bedroom opens onto the full width front verandah via stylish French Doors. The home has been updated with modern kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen has a walk in pantry, huge electric stove and is open plan with the dining room. It really is the heart of the home and has a servery to the adjacent upstairs living room.<br/><br/>Downstairs is another living area, fourth bedroom and the second bathroom/laundry. The lower level has its own entry so there is the opportunity here for dual living or for a separate home office. There is also storage and workshop space on the lower level as well as a three vehicle carport.<br/><br/>The home and gardens are set on an impressive 1,593 sqm block, however this feels much larger because of expansive views from the property. The mature, landscaped, backyard includes a spectacular Poinciana with a wide canopy providing a breath-taking flower display each summer. There's also citrus trees and plenty of opportunities for the keen gardener. The yard is fully fenced for pets and children.<br/><br/>Centrally located in the historic Mount Crosby Village, this charming residence sits between the Post Office/General Store and the popular Bowls Club. School buses, for a number of high schools/colleges, pass by the front door and the Mount Crosby State School is only a kilometre away.
