This home has it all. A prime position in one of the most sought-after streets in Cairns - the characterful and scenic Dalrymple Street. This beautiful home has all the charm and character of timber floors, high ceilings, casement windows and is light, airy and welcoming. Upstairs has a wonderfully appealing living room plus separate dining area adjoining the kitchen which is built in character with the style of the house. This leads to a delightful outdoor living deck from which you can enjoy a serene mountain view to the wonderful Mt Whitfield range. Other outdoor living areas include a cabana and large deck beside the inground pool overlooking the fully fenced and beautifully maintained private tropical garden. Beautiful art deco cornice work in many of the upstairs rooms. Downstairs can easily serve as a second home if you need dual living or want to accommodate an older family member (granny flat) or would like an extra income. It consists of a very large second living area with French doors through to the garden, its own stylish modern bathroom, a large bedroom plus an office. Unusually, this property has a lot of extra car accommodation for a total of 5 vehicles plus a lock up workshop storeroom. Properties such as this are very tightly held and do not come up very often as evidenced by the fact that this property was last on the market in 1996. The current owners have greatly improved the property over the years with restoration and additions over that time including recently replacing the roof, adding additional car accommodation, fencing and gates (full list of all renovations and improvements available).
We've asked the owners what they've loved about living at the home. They've said that they've loved the "proximity to everything" ie.
- "Collins Ave: some of our favourite spots; the Botanic Gardens, The Tanks, the Red and Yellow Arrow walking tracks, cycle tracks, beautiful hilly walks, short walk to coffee shops, top-class restaurants, shoe and dress shops, hairdresser, beauty salons, spas and other niche stores and shops."
- "Our gorgeous neighbourhood: Wide, treed streets and blocks, pretty homes and gardens, Queenslander preservation area and ‘feel’, hill surrounds and views from most windows."
- "Our lovely neighbours of varying ages and family situations."
- "Proximity (10min) to town, Esplanade, shops, hospitals, supermarkets, concerts, art gallery, cafes, restaurants".
- "Proximity to beaches: our favourites are Holloways Beach (10 mins), Trinity Beach (20mins) and Palm Cove (35 mins)."
They've also "loved the open breezy home, the lifestyle and location. The timber floors, the 50s features, open windows and cool breezes."
