Elegant and Charming in central location
Nestled in the heart of Gympie, 60 Channon Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Queensland's history. This elegant, colonial-style house, dating back to the late 19th century, is a true testament to timeless architecture and the care of generations.
Built in 1871, this distinguished residence has been lovingly held within the Davidson family for over eight decades, echoing a bygone era with its original cedar fireplace, panelled cedar doors, and towering twelve-foot ceilings in the main living areas. The home boasts a regal presence, with a wide veranda under classic corrugated iron roofing, offering the perfect vantage point to soak in the serene country vistas stretching east to west.
The property showcases large antique wooden windows, adding to its period charm, and a newly replaced main roof to ensure the home's longevity. Designed by the notable Gympie architect Hugo Du Rietz, known for his significant contribution to the region's architectural heritage, the residence features the hallmark curved iron veranda roof, with materials originally imported from England.
For the owner occupier this home presents minimal structural changes from its original blueprint, making it a straightforward project to restore it to its former grandeur. Alternatively, there's scope to modernise and inject new life into this grand old dame while respecting its colonial elegance. Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, separate dining room, office, large storage area downstairs plus ample off-street parking which includes a carport, parking under the house and also beside the home.
The potential to extend or develop this 1199m2 block of land is immense. Located in councils planning Zone as specialised centre and medical precinct (STCA).
Don't miss out on your chance to own a slice of Gympie's legacy "60 Channon Street".
