UNIQUE QUEENSLANDER LUXURY RESIDENCE

Locally known as "The School House," this iconic Queenslander in Port Douglas showcases timeless architecture and original features, making it a unique and stunning residence that offers both privacy and seclusion, right in the heart of the village.

Occupying a substantial 1,181sqm parcel, this rare property includes perpetual approval for three additional buildings adjacent to the existing structure. This approved expansion allows for added accommodation, providing potential income and enhancing the property's value. The mature gardens and trees surrounding the home create a serene atmosphere, while multiple double French doors open onto expansive timber verandahs, enhancing its elegance. Inside, polished Cypress pine floors and distinctive architectural details define the home's character throughout.

This historic residence, one of the area's oldest, is ideally situated within walking distance of the Four Mile Beach Esplanade, Macrossan Street's vibrant restaurants, cafes, shops, galleries, and more.

The home features open-plan living with soaring cathedral ceilings and a large chef's kitchen with an island bench, seamlessly connecting to the dining and lounge areas. Outside, a broad undercover timber verandah offers ample space for entertaining. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office, along with two mezzanines in the main living area. The master suite includes a private en-suite bathroom, a dressing room, and double doors leading to a second verandah overlooking a central courtyard. Additional amenities include a main bathroom, laundry, storage room, abundant cupboards, and a kitchen pantry.

The property spans a notable 40m frontage on Murphy Street with a driveway entrance from Owen Street, offering diverse possibilities as an exclusive residence or an investment with multiple possible income streams.

This property holds historical significance with the Douglas Shire Council, although it is not heritage-listed.
