House for sale in NAMBOUR
Circa 1890's ~ charming 2 br character worker's cottage, with front sleepout & recently added back verandah (3 metre depth) in keeping with Queenslander mode ~ sitting on an 860sq sloping block with the front door facing east.
Over 110 yrs old & solid as a rock, originally built by & for Nambour sawmill workers. Most original features are intact & include: silky oak sash windows, rustic hand-cut tin window hoods, all with varied decorations, Flemish glass push-out windows to sleepout, tongue & groove doors throughout & red cedar fancy heritage front door, all with original brass/steel hardware. Rough cut hardwood floors feature in the kitchen/bathroom & front sleepout & the 4 main rooms bear the original wide hoop pine floors. I'm currently working on the hoop pine floors, not polishing them but using the original method of linseed oil/turps/fine steel wool.
The house is lowset at the front & highset out back with the verandah facing a native bush & food garden/vegie patch/fruit trees & back gully. Excellent location 2 blocks to CBD, quiet at night, established shade trees ~ cool in summer. House is approx 95 sq metres with concrete slabs underneath, slatted all round, steel stumps, double insulated ceiling, ceiling fans to main rooms (4) reverse cycle air conditioner, whirlybirds on roof, new front/back steps, 500 gallon rain tank & solar HWS. Gas stove, mini-orb bathroom with tub & new toilet. The kitchen needs renovating & am currently painting the house throughout. A great house to live in, cosy old-world, partly renovated, fabulous rustic arty gardens, front gravel courtyard, lots of mulch & woodchip hardly any mowing & some crazy paving pathways half finished & hand made stone steps lead to the teeny creek. Lots of birds & wildlife as I've created a mini-corridor with bird & butterfly attracting trees.
