Welcome to this beautiful home with an external mix of Mini orb iron and hardwood timber, this is one of Ravenshoe’s original homes.

Walking up the stairs, you first notice the unique hardwood door that adorns a stunning leadlight window pane; you enter into the entry room that could double as an office or reading nook, it has some timber shelving and lovely casement windows with original glass.

The 2-bedroom house has internal tongue and groves walls and high raked ceilings throughout.
The timber on the floors is very captivating and is the highlight of the home; it is two-toned with high contrast and one I have not seen often. The lighter timber in the flooring is silver ash. It is full of characteristics that really show the era of its build, and with some light renovation, it can easily transcend the existing beauty of the design.

The kitchen has a gas stovetop and electric oven, it is very spacious and has large timber-framed, glass panel windows. Allowing you to look straight out to the high-set back veranda, to view the huge 2023m2 back yard, full of trees and birdlife.

The full-length lounge room is big enough so you could use it as a combined dining/living room, which would give you more kitchen space to include an island bench.
The living room has a slow combustion fireplace perfect for Ravenshoe winters.

You walk through a beautiful set of French double doors into the main bedroom that offers a triple set of push out casement windows; streaming light through and enhancing the beauty of the room. There is a recessed wardrobe space that you could door up and create a nice enclosed closet, or leave as is and place in an antique duchess set.
There is also a second bedroom that comes off the other side of the living room; it has a high ceiling, tongue and groove walls and a single casement window set.

The bathroom is completely original and has an overhead shower/ bathtub, linen cupboard for towelling and standalone stainless-steel single sink.

Underneath the house is enclosed and lockable, it has its own toilet room and a small low roofed room that could become a teenager bedroom or craft room; there is also a small office with a built-in desk, it reminds me of a vintage draftsman room.

The remainder of the lower level houses the laundry and a large workshop area; this space really has a lot of potential to become an extended living area or entertainment. The rear steps are entered via the laundry and are all undercover.

If you have extra funds, the house could be lifted, and you can create a house design that doubles the living area under one roof.

Lets talk shed space- The yard houses a large 4 bay shed, two bays have been converted to rooms, that consists of one large open area that can be used as a common living area; a separate bedroom with an ensuite and WIR. The council has approved this addition. The shed has a solar hot water system; the main house has a 1.5 kW solar power set up.
The remaining two bays are undercover carports or storage area.

The large yard is full of flora, trees, scrubs and a huge fenced veggie patch. The front garden has small quirky pathways that lead you to the front door and entry room.

This home has a lot to offer and is a must-see if you want a lovely home full of character and history from the mid-1900s.
