41 Balfe St, Parramatta Park QLD 4870, Australia
Positioned in a quiet street of mostly character homes just a few blocks from the heart of the Cairns CBD, this 1940s Queenslander home has been lovingly updated and offers an attractive mix of traditional and modern.
High-set and offering post-card perfect street appeal, this home impresses from the first, walking past easy care gardens, through the gatehouse and through the door to the freshly painted interior. Here you’ll appreciate those classic touches so sought after in this style of home – from the timber floorboards, to the t&g walls and ceiling, through to the beautifully maintained original casement windows.
The dining area is full of light, flowing through to the central lounge and the first 2 bedrooms, including the light and bright master. The third bedroom is positioned to the rear for extra privacy (or loud teenagers).
The kitchen has been fully renovated for a chic feel, with room to dine inside or take it out to the deck overlooking the gardens and plunge pool. The bathroom has seen a similar update, with large shower and a convenient separate toilet.
Downstairs is enclosed and high enough to move freely (though not quite legal height for living space), with room to park, set up a workshop or set up a games room etc. There is also a lockable storeroom for the odds and ends.
Outside, lush gardens give a lovely tropical feel, with walkways around the home. Adding to the ambience, a small in-ground pool is perfect for a relaxing dip of an evening or weekend (though probably not one to do laps in).
This is a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a charming home with the hard work already done – including a new roof and solar system in the current ownership.
