79 Ryan Street, East Innisfail QLD 4860

This beautiful old Queenslander has been very well loved and cared for over the years and the current owner has thrown a lot of money into renovations and improvements, and as such presents in excellent condition. It has all the classic period features including soaring ceiling heights, turned and carved corbels, newels and finials ( fancy heritage timberwork), glorious kauri pine floors in the main bedrooms, and Johnson River Hardwood in the 3rd. Add the classic casement and double-hung timber windows and long drop pendant lighting and you have the picture perfect Queenslander.

Compliment this with a stylish open kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances and modern air-conditioning and you have the best blend of old and new, lifestyle and comfort. There are no small rooms in a big Queenslander and this continues when you get to the wide-covered verandah with its wonderful outlook over the most glorious gardens. Being on the Eastern side of the house it gets lovely dappled morning sun and is a cool spot for an evening to have a quiet drink and unwind from the day. This is conveniently facilitated by the large built-in bar area which is perfect for entertaining.

When you go down the stairs you will find three rooms, one contains a bathroom and another has a kitchenette and living room. The whole space is perfect for an in-law or extended family. The climate here can also be controlled by nearly new air conditioning. Further, there is a massive workshop space and garage, along with a 3-metre, high-clearance carport and an additional garage at the street front. This carport and concreting was only done in the last 12 months at a cost of approximately $ 35,000.

This house is set high on the ridge away from any flooding concerns and with excellent views of the Palmerston range, where the cool breeze flows up the valley and across the verandah. Exactly what a Queenslander is designed to achieve.

There is no doubt this house is striking from the street, but it is the gardens and landscaping on this 1014 sqm block that make it shine. The birds and butterflies are your closest friendly neighbours and love the gardens just as much as you will.
