20 Chataway Street, West Mackay QLD 4740

Grand in size, stature and style, this magnificent family home was built in 2000 by award-winning local heritage builder, Tom Casey and features stunning influences from both the Federation and Victorian eras. Spanning an impressive 561sqm over two thoughtfully designed levels, this much-loved home is now on the market for the first time with the original owners downsizing after raising their family here.

With its immaculate presentation and welcoming ambience throughout, we were instantly charmed by this stunning home and we think you will be too! Standout features include an air-conditioned wine cellar, beautiful Victorian tessellated feature tiles, Cedar timber fretwork and Victorian lace balustrades, decorative cornices and ceiling medallions to the extra high ceilings complemented by the warmth of Brushbox timber and cork flooring, along with custom timber joinery to all windows and doors crafted by renowned Queensland master craftsmen, The Woodworkers.

Offering multiple formal and informal living areas and outstanding alfresco zones where you can come together as a family, entertain a crowd or kick back and enjoy some time out after a busy day, this very special and unique home is ideal for those with a large or growing family (or a big circle of friends) but also has excellent potential for dual living (such as adult kids still living at home or older parents/in-laws).

Positioned on a wide street with stand-out kerbside appeal in a well-established neighbourhood, this home is within walking distance from the Botanical Gardens and boasts a highly desirable inner-city location close to schools, shops, employment hubs, beaches, the Blue Water Trail and so much more.

Why we LOVE 20 Chataway Street…

- The street appeal & off-street parking options. From the moment you arrive you will know this home is very special. The façade of the solidly constructed, double storey brick home with its intricate Cedar fretwork, Victorian lace balustrades and sweeping verandahs showcases the attention to detail throughout. The paved horseshoe-shaped driveway provides a great sense of entry & exit combined with multiple readily accessible off-street parking options – carport with covered accessway to the front door, 2-bay automatic opening garage with rear drive-through access plus an extra parking bay for trailer or tinny – will make the dreaded car shuffle a thing of the past

- If you are partial to a fine wine, you will love the large, air-conditioned wine cellar adjacent to the oversized garage with massive workshop & storage area. The front entry is welcoming & absolutely beautiful. From the solid timber and lead light front door with decorative brass hinges to the Victorian tessellated tiled entry void with sweeping timber staircase to the upper level all flooded with natural light thanks to a cathedral style fixed window, the ambience is warm & welcoming

- The multiple indoor & outdoor living/entertainment zones. Great thought has gone into designing this home to be extremely versatile, accommodating changes as a family’s needs evolve. With multiple indoor & outdoor living/dining/entertainment areas that connect seamlessly & a 16m long resort style saltwater pool & spa with slide & waterfall feature set in beautiful tropical landscaped surrounds (irrigated for ease of maintenance), there are plenty of areas to come together & have fun or enjoy in peaceful solitude for a quiet cuppa away from the hustle & bustle of everyday family life. Safety has also been carefully considered with full height Victorian balustrades installed around the secondary verandahs for extra peace of mind

- The stunning & functional Red Cedar kitchen with Italian granite benchtops & servery to the alfresco area. Cook up a storm & share stories of the day in your very large, incredibly well-laid out & functional kitchen featuring large island bench, 5 burner Miele gas cooktop with ducted rangehood, twin wall ovens with self-cleaning Pyrolytic functionality, recessed dishwasher, walk-in pantry, outstanding storage, extra wide fridge cavity to accommodate 2 fridges plus additional space for a 3rd fridge & a handy servery window to the alfresco area so everyone remains part of the action

- There’s nothing ‘heritage’ about the 21st century mod cons in this home ensuring everyone in the family will be happy. Mod cons include 3 phase power to the home & pool as well as 2 x 15 Amps to the backyard, Back to Base security & smoke alarm system, fibre NBN to the home, built-in speakers and 7 x TV points (yes, 7)!

- The master suite featuring timber French doors that open onto a private balcony, the huge master bedroom is more of a retreat than a bedroom & will be your special place to relax & unwind. It also features custom-designed walk-in robe, ‘glamour station’ & a spacious ensuite with a separate bath & shower

- The 4 minor bedrooms with versatility for multiple uses. All 4 minor bedrooms are spacious. There are 3 on level 1 (2 with built-ins & direct access to the upper floor deck) & a large 5th bedroom/multipurpose room on the ground floor with direct access to the main alfresco area & adjacent access to the 3rd bathroom. The owners currently use one of the bedrooms upstairs as a home office but bed 5, with its separate rear access, would be ideal as a larger home office or media room if needed too

- The massive 6.5 x 4m laundry. It’s rare to include a laundry as a standout feature but this one is truly worthy of a special mention! Large enough for a professional dressmaking/tailoring business or craft room, your laundry features 2 full-sized built-in linen cupboards with shelving, drawers & hanging space, built-in corner workstation with storage, double tub sinks with cupboard, bench space & elevated cabinetry for housing your washer & dryer. The room also has great ventilation & direct access to the clothesline on the undercover deck

- Other features include freshly painted interior in 2020, all split air-conditioners have been progressively replaced during ownership, quality window treatments & lighting, Crimsafe security screens to most windows & fly screens to doorways, separate toilet to main bathroom which features bath & larger than average twin vanities (no more fighting over bathroom time & space on those busy school/work mornings), resurfaced cork flooring, resurfaced & re-screwed Colorbond roof, both completed in 2020
