19 Owen Street, Mossman QLD 4873

Have you ever wanted to own a piece of history and an iconic Queenslander that you can call home? Ray White Port Douglas Real Estate is proud to offer to the market "The Daintree Lady" a coveted blend of breezy tropical style and heritage charm situated on a 1133sqm parcel of land in the heart of Mossman.

Circa 1927 this beautiful low set Queenslander is constructed from Daintree Timber, and was originally built on site at the Daintree Village, 35kms North of Mossman.
The original owners, the Cobb/Bailey family, relocated this Queenslander to Owen St Mossman in the 1930's. The home was again shifted later, half a house sideways and positioned on concrete stumps, one metre above ground level.
In its new position in Mossman, the backyard was transformed into a Plant Nursery and was regarded locally as the Nursery for the area run by Mrs Bailey. This home from construction remained in the Cobb/Bailey/Osborne Family until February 2013.

Today, behind the impressive façade lies a superbly renovated home with meticulous attention to detail, which has effortlessly combined traditional charm and welcoming warmth with all the essentials for a modern lifestyle. A perfect balance of old and new from the decorative timber gable on the portico entrance to the lovingly restored fretwork inside.

The characteristic front veranda that extends around the home has been infilled to increase the inside under roof area. The timeless elegance of the timber floorboards creates an inviting light space enclosed with glass louvres making for an airy front reading room or even a second living space.

Step through the French doors into the generous heart of the home where the crisp white timber walls will draw your eye up to take in the 3.6mt high ceilings. What was once several small rooms is now a functional open plan layout offering dining and informal living whilst paying homage to the architectural bones of this fine home. 90% of all the renovation work in here is done.

The accommodation in the "Daintree Lady" Queenslander comprises four ample sized bedrooms and a voluminous restored bathroom.

Overlooking the tropical gardens and Daintree mountain ranges, there has been skill involved in designing a contemporary practical kitchen so that it sits with ease into its classic Queenslander bones. Well executed, this kitchen offers ample bench and storage space, an informal breakfast nook basking in natural light and direct access to the undercover back deck.

A decent sized internal laundry incorporates a second w/c which can be easily accessed from the outdoor entertaining area, and the option to convert to a second bathroom.

Beyond just the fundamentals - quality, location, aspect and style The Daintree Lady at 19 Owen Street, is the epitome of a pretty Queenslander renovated for modern family life.
