It's grand. It's stylish. It's a work of art. And it stands alone as a stunning showcase of the beauty and elegance of a Mackay Queenslander.
Soaring ceilings, stunning leadlight windows, gorgeous hoop pine floorboards, delicate fretwork, ceiling roses and tongue and groove walls all combine to make a refined statement in style.
The classic features have been loved, nurtured and maintained as a celebration of a bygone era but the modern features we need have been seamlessly added to create a home that embraces its history while providing for the 21st Century expectations of the modern family.
This Queenslander has much more space inside than the usual three-bedder, including a large, multi-purpose room that is being used as a fourth bedroom and will suit a family with several children.
There is a sitting room and additional spaces that would be perfect areas for children or parents who need their own space.
The property has side access and room for a shed or a pool, while there is a huge amount of space under the house for parking and storage, including the garage area.
And the location is virtually on the fringe of the CBD, with easy access to schools, shops, clubs, pubs and everything you need in Mackay.
On entering the house, you feel like you have walked into a work of art ... the stained-glass bay windows, the magnificent central hallway that runs between living areas and bedrooms, the beautiful floors, the sense of light and height that creates a timeless beauty.
The hallway takes you through to the spacious air-conditioned living areas, with a huge dining area that flows perfectly to a grand living room with its stained-glass windows, ceiling rose and classic chandelier lighting.
There is an abundance of space and the living/dining areas are perfect for entertaining the crowd with a dinner party or relaxing in the lounge room.
The dining room is adjacent to the renovated galley kitchen, with its dishwasher and contemporary fittings and fixtures including subway tiles and plantation shutters.
The kitchen also flows to the separate sitting areas that run outside the lounge room and offer a place for children to play, for hobbies or for an addition area to sit and read a book, enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine. The space has to be seen to be appreciated.
The other side of the hallway takes you to the air-conditioned bedrooms and the bathroom.
The main bedroom is an imposing space with a bay window again showing off the lead lighting and a built-in seat. There is a real magnificence about the large proportions, high ceilings and embrace of history as you sit and relax in what could be your bedroom.
French doors take you to a large sitting room that can be used as a walk-in wardrobe and study space. It would also be the ideal spot for an ensuite.
The two other bedrooms are also air-conditioned and while one is bigger, the smaller one has a study space with desk straight outside its door. As mentioned, the multi-purpose fourth room provides the additional space a larger family will love.
The bathroom has a shower, claw-foot bath and separate toilet.
The back door takes you onto the rear deck and down to the spacious area under the house with laundry, storage room and an abundance of parking and storage.
Walk around the side and you can see the space to potentially out that high-clearance shed with side access that you've always wanted or that pool the kids have been asking for.
There is a historic magnificence about this property that has to be seen to be appreciated. Those buyers who love the classic style of a Queenslander will note that 2a Duncan St has taken style and space to the next level.
