145 High Street, Russell Island QLD 4184

You’ve got to-see this property to appreciate what’s on offer here. An enormous corner-block at the junction of High Street and Jackson Road, opposite the dog-park and close to town. There’s opportunity here to grow with the home, then add further.

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage was built in 2004 and comes packed with all the extras of the era. Boasting split air-con, ceiling fans and lots of windows and doors to maximise the cooling sea breezes.

With level car and pedestrian entry via Jackson Road, you have the option of using the back door to the kitchen; the mudroom-entry via laundry; or the front entry for guests, direct to the living room. Parking is plentiful, with a carport/entertaining zone, plus a double lock-up garage (or huge workshop) and further off-street parking in the driveway.

Inside, is an open-plan living space with the grey and white kitchen taking centre-stage, while the breakfast bar is a perfect spot for recounting the stories of the day. There’s loads of benchspace, a new electric freestanding cooktop/oven, pantry and ample storage (including overhead cupboards).

The main bedroom has an ensuite, air-con and built-ins. The other two bedrooms are large with built-ins and ceiling fans. They’re serviced by the family bathroom which has a vanity and bath with shower over; and a separate toilet, adjacent to the laundry (with further storage and access to backyard).

Fully-fenced with security-screen windows and doors, you can rest-easy knowing pets and children can play outdoors without straying on the road. There’s lots of wide open space for them explore and enjoy the delights of growing-up on an island.

Outdoors, a large East-facing deck stretches the entire length of the home, great for catching the morning sun and watching the world go by. A hedgerow shields you from passers-by and acts as a sound-barrier to the buzz of light traffic, while the lush lawn is perfect for summer cricket or to stretch out and have a picnic.

The covered carport at the rear, serves as an entertaining space and is fenced off from the yard—so you can leave your pets under shelter with a pet-door allowing them indoors, if you feel inclined. There’s an enclosed area for a spa, where you can chill in the evenings to relax tired muscles, plus it can be locked off for safety when not in use.

A concrete water tank stands proud and provides generous nourishment for your gardens and produce, with fruiting mango, fig, papaya, passionfruit and more. Chickens can free-range and graze on fallen fruit from the trees or scraps for the veggie garden.

This country-cottage comes with:
• coastal breezes
• air-con x 2 and ceiling fans
• double-doors off living to large deck
