Gorgeous Queenslander
AN old Queenslander, affectionately known as Frangipani House at Cairns North, is under offer after just its first open home.
Professionals Cairns-Edge Hill principal Billy Gartner said the home attracted 30 groups who inspected the property, with four contracts drawn up.
“This gorgeous old girl has all the features you would expect to find in a traditional old Queenslander,” he said.
“There are high ceilings, tongue and groove walls, hardwood timber floors, sprawling verandas and the bonus of a large outdoor deck/entertaining area overlooking a sparkling Pebbletex inground pool.
“Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms plus a fulllength veranda/sleepout.
“Downstairs, there’s a small studio with a kitchenette (not legal height) and another bathroom.”
Mr Gartner said the property was on a rare 809m2 corner allotment and with multi-unit zoning there was potential to build another dwelling at the back with a private entrance off Lily Street or even raise and build additional unit/units underneath with council approval.
“She has ‘really good bones’ and heaps of potential to add personal touches and develop further to provide additional income,” he said.
The house’s features include:
• Four bedrooms
• Two bathrooms
• Four car spaces
• 809sqm
• A pool
• A ground level studio with kitchenette.
