Unique and charismatic, “Fogarty Cottage” is situated in the prime, sought after suburb of Whitfield. This historical, beautifully renovated 1950s home with original timber floorboards, French doors and casement windows, has been given a Plantation Style makeover. Perfect for the entertainer, gardener, retiree or small family looking to take advantage of the tropical North Queensland lifestyle.
With the backdrop of Mt Whitfield on your doorstep, the property is engulfed in stunning greenery, backing onto Council Reserve with seasonal creek. Walking tracks abound through the Mt Whitfield range, connecting you to Edge Hill with its famous Cairns Botanical Gardens, restaurants and cafes. The sizeable 714 sqm block has incredible potential for additional living space, or simply move in - there is nothing more to do.
From the street front, the property is well hidden behind manicured hedges, leading to a large front deck, framed by a prolifically flowering purple vine, our tropical version of Wisteria. Any passerby will attest to its beauty. Entering through the pink front door you’ll be impressed with the functional living space offering maximum cross ventilation and natural light. A large gas strut window and French doors connect you to the expansive rear deck and tropical garden. A sanctuary to watch the Cairns Bird wing butterfly and many birds that inhabit the tranquil setting. Nestled under the clumping bamboo is another deck to sit back, relax and enjoy nature. For those cooler nights that DO happen in Winter, the fire pit is popular with friends. Or in Summer, cool off under the inviting outdoor shower after a day in the garden.
The interior features a modern kitchen complete with Bosch induction cooktop and oven. A large Quantum Quartz island bench is central to connecting the living space, making relaxed entertaining a breeze. The spacious main bedroom and substantial second bedroom, feature built in robes, fans, and fully lockable plantation shutters. The stylish bathroom and seperate toilet are in keeping with the plantation aesthetic. Split system air conditioning throughout, with minimal reliance on this due to smart design.
