A Piece of Nambour History - On 2 Titles

Under Conditional Contract: Please contact the agent if you would like to be advised if the contract is not successful.

Built around 1947, this original timber home has been lovingly preserved in its post war worker's cottage style. Features such as high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, vintage glass and timber doors and windows create a charm not found in modern homes.

The huge timber shed at the back of the block once housed Nambour's Ice works owned by Mr Edward Goffey. Some of our older locals may recall collecting blocks of ice for their ice chests from here. It now houses a very generous size garage and workshop with room for multiple vehicles. The original bunker style cold room would make a fabulous potential wine celler or cold larder. Later additions of a double carport, under cover entertaining area and a studio lend them selves to so many possibilities.

And if that wasn't tempting enough the home is sitting on 952m2 block which is on 2 titles and is zoned medium density. Right in the heart of town just steps to Nambour College, and walking distance to shopping, train and bus, and medical facilities.

This charmer seems to have a wonderful capacity to draw an "Oh wow!" from anyone who appreciates the charm and warmth of the typical Queensland style post war cottages. Where kitchens were large enough for everyone to have an allocated chore, do you remember your Mum saying "OK kids, you wash, you dry and you put away: amidst tea towel flicking combat? Where family sharing meals together was "literally" the heart of the home, where a lounge room wasn't about a television but, was truly a sitting room where you went to chat, read and spend time together.

With a genuine nod to the love of local history, the original shed remains. No longer making ice for locals but making memories where there is room to work on much loved vehicles, not just house them. Quite literally families of father and son car enthusiats have forged bonds on the tools under this roof. The huge outdoor entertaining area has a unique charm with its lush garden surrounds and timber features, with the studio making a great guest room for when family gatherings spill over into sleep overs. Alternatively the studio would make a great little home office or art studio. You can even help the kids and grandkids discover the joys of swinging from the hills hoist - just don't let Mum catch you.

For the savvy invester with a keen eye for the future the block being zoned for Medium density, on 2 titles makes it possible to consider development or even a boundary re-alignment to make way for a second or secondary dwelling.

Nambour is currently undergoing a renaissance with new coffee shops, eateries and even the Old Club Hotel being brought back to life. Central to everything its an easy drive along the highway to the beaches, Maroochydore, Noosa or the Hinterland
