Originally built in 1880 as a humble workers’ cottage for a nearby dairy farm, this beautifully restored home has been lovingly reimagined for modern life — a place where timeless charm meets contemporary comfort. Brimming with character and heart, it’s a warm, inviting family retreat, complete with a sparkling new pool and a self-contained second dwelling offering endless lifestyle flexibility.
Behind the secure fencing and welcoming front verandah, you’ll find a home that’s been carefully updated while preserving its soul. Light-filled interiors reveal high ceilings, VJ panelling, and stylish floors — all thoughtfully complemented by stylish modern finishes that make everyday living effortless.
At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen shines with new benchtops, quality appliances, and a breakfast bar that flows seamlessly into the dining area. Custom-built bench seating adds a touch of charm — the perfect spot for morning coffees, family meals, or heartfelt conversations that linger long after dinner.
The spacious living area offers a newly installed cosy wood-burning fireplace and air conditioning for year-round comfort, opening out to the covered verandah — a dreamy space for evening wine, lazy weekend mornings, or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings.
Step outside and discover your own private retreat: the brand new travertine-tiled inground pool, glistens under the Queensland sun. Surrounded by glass fencing and manicured gardens, it’s a true resort-style escape designed for entertaining, relaxing, and creating memories with family and friends.
Adding to its appeal, the council-approved auxillary unit (granny flat) offers exceptional versatility — perfect as a guest suite, home office, studio, or Airbnb income stream. Complete with its own kitchenette, full bathroom, and open-plan living/sleeping space, it’s the ultimate bonus for multi-generational families or savvy investors alike.
