46 Hughes Street, Hermit Park QLD 4812

This stunning example of a once military building rises again standing proud in its new location here in Hughes Street. Relocated from the Oonoonba Barracks in 1946 the now stunning family home once housed personnel when returning from service from WWII.

The Home originally was two separate buildings with a common breeze way between, but the now clever transformation joins the two giving the home a unique dedicated wing to the rear.

As you walk up the front stairs to the landing, immediately your eyes are drawn to the exposed beautiful timber beams oozing history and charm, a mix of plantation shutters, period railings and cute awing's give a sense of what's to come. The landing is the perfect vantage point to watch the kids playing in the front garden and enjoy the birds in the established trees.

The landing connects you directly into the home and you are greeted by beautifully restored tongue and groove walls, more exposed features and crisp white ceilings. This room really is the heart of the home housing the dinning space and lounge room surrounded by 4 huge double sized bedrooms measuring 5.5 x 4.5 meters each. Each room has loads of naturally light flooding in through the original casement windows. The master bedroom features a classic robe and a second door to the breeze way, very convenient at night too to access the bathroom.

The now fully enclosed breezeway is a casual space to read a book, unload the days items and connects the home to the bathroom, kitchen / breakfast room and out the backyard through lovely period door. In the family bathroom there is a shower over bath, large linen space and my favourite feature, the stunningly restored silky oak dresser up-cycled to now be the vanity.

Next off the breezeway is the perfect family kitchen. A huge island bench with stone tops centres the room ideal for morning breakfast of homework after school. The old stove hutch has been converted in a bay window seat. The kitchen also features a combined butler's pantry and laundry truly making this wing of the home a hub. Gas cooking and timber accents are continued through the kitchen also.

Out the back is the old outhouse, now this space offers storage and a covered area for tinkering. The kids are going to love the tree house covered in shade and perfectly position to be seen from the kitchen windows. The home also features extra storage via an attic ladder in the ceilings.

This home truly has so much to offer and has been lovingly restored to the beautiful home you see today. Fully fenced with street appeal, established citrus, banana and a variety of veggies to really feel with the family Army will never have to leave home.
