72 Strattmann Street, Mareeba QLD 4880

Develop or renovate, you will reap the rewards either way!

From the moment you set foot onto this property you will get the feeling that this home has been here for a very long time, and it has! Said to have been built by the Lawson family - estimated in the early 1900's - who owned and ran the Lawson and Sons Sawmill in Mareeba at the time. More recently home to "The Verandah Gallery" a home based art gallery, the home has witnessed some more creative days in it's recent life.

The Queenslander style home is of course built from hardwood timber construction. It boasts the benefits we have come to expect in the typical Queenslander including tongue and groove walls, large banks of casement windows along the verandas which let in natural light and the breezes, and high ceilings to give us the natural climate control these types of homes offer.

Inside there are three bedrooms and one bathroom, central lounge and dining rooms, a very serviceable kitchen and an adjacent store room or office. There is also a large rumpus room at the rear of the home and of course the huge verandas on three sides which can be utilised as living areas or sleepouts etc.

At the rear of the property there is a timber shed and workshop with power connected, and an additional laundry room and an attached carport, as well as another detached lean-to/carport in the back yard which is also fenced.

For the renovator or the period conscious buyer the house displays beautiful fretwork panels above some of the internal doors, original cabinetry in the kitchen, architraves and timber trims with early 1900's style, structural corner posts which are just grand and the list goes on and on!

Of course with a home of this age, there are some jobs to do, some of the stumps have been replaced with steel and there are some more to do, but most of the work required is of a cosmetic nature.

The location is second to none, with the property being positioned just off the Central CBD zoning and currently zoned medium density residential with an over sized 1,207m2 allotment.
