10 Tait Street, West Mackay QLD 4740

West Mackay is one of the region's most desirable locations. It is within easy access to the city heart shopping precinct, has excellent schools, is close to the hospital and has some of Mackay's most stunning older homes. This property at 10 Tait Street falls into that latter category: or at least it will with a little bit of TLC.

The hard work on the outside of the home has been done. Its classic Queenslander façade has been maintained thanks to the traditional blue, white and brown paint job. All of the gorgeous original stained-glass windows have been preserved, and an additional wooden door with stained-glass accents has been added to the ground floor. With some simple yet elegant landscaping of the 827m block, the street appeal of this home will be such that it causes drivers to slow down as they go by.

Inside of the property you will be able to add in your own personal flare. The bones are good but just need to be elevated to the standard of the home's exterior. The good news is that this home's dual living possibilities will make it easy as there is at least one bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette on both levels.

Styling the downstairs portion of the home will be a breeze with the sturdy terracotta tiles and tongue-in-groove walls.

Downstairs, you will find a generous sized bedroom with air-conditioning plus three other spaces which could be used as living rooms, playrooms, studies or even a home gym. With the separate main door access, the downstairs portion of the home could even become an office for a business.

The multipurpose bathroom and toilet has an extra-long bathtub and a gorgeous wooden vanity table. The kitchenette is ideal for countertop cooking and entertaining.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, a dining area, study nook and multiple living spaces. The living areas and both bedrooms upstairs are air-conditioned and also feature ceiling fans in various rooms.

Styling will again be easy on the top floor, with the high ceilings, beautiful high-gloss wooden floorboards and tongue-in-groove walls. There are also period accents throughout the upstairs portion of the home, which you will no doubt want to preserve.

The bathroom and kitchen upstairs require an upgrade. There are elements of both, like the claw foot bathtub, which can be preserved and will become standout features of the rooms.

The home's large back deck will become a favourite entertaining spot. It flows seamlessly of off the kitchen and overlooks the large backyard. With no immediate rear neighbours, privacy will be at a premium.

The property also comes with the convenience of a 6KW Solar System and a remote control front gate - making pulling into your driveway and carport an absolute breeze!
