Grand Ole' Lady

This highset 4-bedroom Queensland home is a piece of history waiting for a new family to bring her back to glory. <br/><br/>Packed full of character and charm. There is a stunning bay window at the front and the home is chockers full of tongue and groove walls, ceilings and timber floors. At a total of over 260sqm under roof, this house is quite grand in its scale. From the high-rise ceilings in the upstairs residential area to the vast open area of the downstairs, this house takes spaciousness to a new level.<br/><br/>Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, two with built-ins. A large lounge, separate dining room, front entry, study or come-what-may room, kitchen and bathroom, with a separate toilet just down the hall. The lounge has a new split system, reverse cycle unit which takes care of most of the upstairs. <br/><br/>Downstairs is a huge open space that is the future home to a massive rumpus room, workshop, car garage, or possible granny flat, teen's retreat or whatever you could imagine. Currently, the laundry lives down here, the new hot water system, and a 2nd toilet. The space is accessed via double doors that open to allow a lock-up car parking space at the front, or pedestrian door tat the other side of the front OR an extra wide doorway at the rear. <br/><br/>The lounge and dining floors have been recently polished and flooring laid in the kitchen area. Several rooms have been freshened up with paint. <br/><br/>Now, there is quite a bit of work that needs to be done here but the house is on a solid foundation having been fully restumped on steel posts and fully concreted underneath. The old roof has some surface rust, but by all accounts, she still has quite a bit of life left in her. <br/><br/>Less than a 2-minute walk to the grocery shop and secondary school and only another minute and a bit to the chemist, primary school, post office, bakery, newsagency, doctor's offices (multiple) and various other shops. Only a 25-minute drive to Rockhampton's roundabout and less than that to Gracemere's Shopping Centre with Woolie's and more.
