24 Hume Street, Woodend QLD 4305

Charming Woodend Character on 2,226 sq mtr. This home has rarely been on the market, only a few families have lived here since it was built in 1898. Once someone moves in they tend to stay. The current family has lived here for 30 years. The children have all grown up and moved on so once again it is offered for sale so that other children can run around the large yard, play cricket or football and just have fun.
It is a charming Queenslander and quite a spacious property, although from the front you would not see just how large it is. The front verandah is a lovely place to sit and relax or read a book and the house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac so traffic is minimal.
Into the hallway and the first bedroom is to your right, with the formal lounge to your left. This is a lovely bright room with plenty of space for the family to gather and it leads on to the dining area. It has a huge split system air conditioner, which keeps the whole of this part of the house comfortable year round. Fans are also installed in all the rooms. The second bedroom is off the dining area and has a skylight installed allowing lots of natural light to flood into the room.
The kitchen is next, and being a galley kitchen it has lots of bench and cupboard space and is centrally located so the chef is not left out of things. You can cook up a feast with the natural gas cook-top and fan forced wall oven. From here you can also see into the adjoining family room, great for homework time.
The family bathroom is modern, and the laundry and the fourth bedroom run off from the kitchen area.
The family room is just massive and a great place for the family to gather at the end of the day. It is a lovely space with lots of windows and a wall of French doors opening out to the rear verandah looking out on the parklands like garden. These doors are fitted with Phantom Screens which slide away in the winter but are there when you need them is the summer months. This area is also serviced by a huge split system air conditioner, when the two units are on the whole house is lovely and cool even on those very hot days.
The master bedroom is off the family room and has an ensuite and walk in robe, a lovely retreat at the end of a busy day.
The views from the back verandah are just wonderful; it's like living in a tree-house! The block is a huge 2,226 square metres (just over half an acre) and goes all the way through to Pryde Street, although the very back is like a rain forest, the current family's children used to disappear there in the school holidays and have lots of adventures with their friends!
The land sits high and looks down onto the river.
The house has not been flooded although the city maps show that the water was at the end of the property, the house has always been high and dry. When you visit it the property you will see just how high it sits.
A recent addition to the property is the double carport to accommodate the vehicles.
This home has been fitted with the energy saving solar panels, and has also been insulated so is a very comfortable home with lovely high ceilings and all the charming details that make these character homes so very livable.
Walking distance from St Marys Primary and College, St Edmunds and the Ipswich Boys Grammar Schools. A pleasant walk around the river to the City Mall, Riverlink and the railway station. It is situated in a much sort after location. with great neighbours and the friendly neighbourhood will make leaving difficult for the current owners, but it is time to move on to something smaller, and enter a new phase of life!
