17 Smyth Street, Gympie QLD 4570

This "grand ol' lady" built in 1890 has been partially renovated by the current owner so all she needs is someone else to bring the finishing touches - which means there's still an opportunity to put your very own stamp on this classic Gympie Queenslander. Part of the huge appeal of properties like these comes from the history they bring and the stories within the walls - and this home literally spoke to the owner with pennies and an old Queensland Rail train ticket raining down from the ceiling during modifications! One of the pennies is from 1932!

What we love about this home:
• Authentic 10 ft high ceilings, original VJ timber wall panelling and timber floorboards throughout living areas and bedrooms. Re-painted throughout.
• Fully renovated kitchen - stone top benches and inlaid hand-tiled stone splash backs, huge island with gas cooktop. Large window makes for a perfect servery opening to the rear alfresco space.
• Renovated bathroom with claw foot bath, freestanding and up-cycled timber washstand vanity and new shower with inlaid hand-tiled stone floor and new toilet.
• Extended internal laundry off kitchen area and close to ramp for easy access to the hills hoist clothesline in the back yard.
• Huge king-size bedroom with large sleep-out attached - perfect as an office with daybed or opportunity to add an ensuite & WIR and not compromise on bedroom space.
• 2 other bedrooms double size with plenty of room for freestanding wardrobes and plenty of extra floor space.
• Large open lounge with timber feature architraves sits central to the dining space and kitchen.
• Cosy & quaint front verandah complete with double sash french doors at the top of the staircase, shutters to windows and decorative timber fretwork is in keeping with the original design of the home. It's the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the sunrises or sunsets and take in the beauty of the Jacaranda tree especially in full bloom.
• Brand new colourbond roof on the home. Double carport at the rear has also had beams and roof replaced.
• Newly added paved outdoor area with modern decorative screens and enough room for both a dining table and separate lounges to relax around the firepit!
• Fully fenced huge 900m2 corner block with double gate access to both sides of the property and pedestrian gates on Smyth St & Baker St also - a 2 minute walk to the popular Phoenix Hotel up on Red Hill Road for some of the best meals and cold beers in town! Now a new hairdresser and drama school opposite the hotel as well.
• Convenience plus only minutes to Gympie's CBD. Easy access to the Bruce Highway north or south. Kids can walk to the local bus stop.
