Surrounded by other homes of a similar vintage in the desirable inner-city suburb of West Mackay, this enchanting, natural light-filled circa 1950’s highset Queenslander offers the warmth and charm that Queenslanders are known for, while delivering expansive and versatile living space over two levels.
This is the perfect home for a large or growing family seeking the versatility to accommodate your changing needs over time or busy professionals who love to entertain and provide the ideal option for guests to stay in privacy, away from the main household.
We love its charming character, along with its welcoming ambience throughout and large pool to keep cool over the hot Summer months. Be quick to inspect this one!
