So close to the Toowoomba Base Hospital that you can smell the antiseptic, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom weatherboard cottage is ideally situated near to many amenities and the C.B.D. Surrounded by homes also built during the Second World War, function and materials dictated form. The home sits in the middle of the 716 square meter allotment and has direct access, at the rear, to the hospital's entrance and Clewley Park. It's an easy walk, along the path, to Red Edge Shopping Centre and Grand Central Shopping Centre. Even the Toowoomba City Golf Club is close by. The location is extremely convenient and less than a 5-minute drive to a variety of schools and parks.
The cottage is typical of an era where modest dwellings were the norm. Set on timber stumps, the floor plan comprises separate rooms. Up the front stairs, the entry leads into the living room, which leads to the combined kitchen and dining room. With a few original details still evident, the kitchen is a reminder of a bygone era. Facing north, it allows plenty of natural light to stream in, beyond the sink. Modern elements, such as a dishwasher and air-conditioner are included. Many of the rooms feature timber batons on the walls and ceilings, security screens and fans. The 2 bedrooms are of average size and one is built in. They share the central bathroom, which includes the toilet. The single lock-up garage provides access into the home via the air-conditioned family or rumpus room. Here, lovely polished timber floors hint at what lies beneath the floor coverings in many of the rooms. Through the laundry, the sunroom (with original frosted glass) faces the northern sun. Outside, the low maintenance garden includes a good-sized shed, lots of lawn and a timber and Colorbond fence.
This home is Ideally located to take advantage of the medical precinct, the C.B.D. and many other amenities. Houses of this era do not have a character overlay and as such, 39 Joyce Street is waiting to be given some personality and a new lease of life.
