17 Chivers Street, Marian, QLD, 4753, Australia

This character-filled Queenslander is full of heart and offers the ultimate blend of serenity and practicality, situated on a sprawling 1012m2 stretch of land. One very fortunate family will reap the benefits of 10 years’ worth of progressive renovations including re-roofing, re-wiring, new plumbing, solar and so much more. With its wide, welcoming front verandah, classic gable silhouette, charming architectural features and stunning timber fretwork, it’ll be a challenge not to fall in love at first sight from the street. They just don’t make them like this anymore!

From the inside out, the home provides a wonderful sense of warmth and relaxation through its vibrant, rustic design. Great care has been taken to ensure this 1930s heritage home retains its beauty and integrity, tastefully enhanced by modern refreshments such as interior/exterior repainting and new LED lighting throughout. A combination of polished timber flooring and tiles where you need them significantly boosts the functionality of the space without sacrificing style, and with so much space on offer including 3 generous bedrooms, 2 versatile living areas and more, the possibilities for optimisation are endless.

We can bet that the keen entertainers are already excited at the prospect of a warm summer’s evening on their oversized veranda, complete with board games, charcuterie and a round of cold drinks. Got the whole family coming over? Take the party downstairs where the current owners have optimised the wide, concrete space underneath the house for breezy alfresco dining, complemented by a BBQ, a large table setting, and some great company. And with plenty of yard space for pets, chooks, veggie gardens and more, lovers of the outdoors should look no further.

Here in Marian you’ll find a beautiful, friendly community atmosphere and live within walking distance to several amenities, employment hubs, and transport options. Plus, you’ll be less than 30 minutes away from the Mackay CBD. We can’t wait for you to see for yourself just how much 17 Chivers Street has to offer, and why it won’t be on the market for long!

- Bonus, versatile living space – Thoughtfully tucked away from the ruckus of cooking & dining, the home’s primary living zone is generous in size & will be the perfect spot for the whole family to unwind with a movie.

The multipurpose sunroom is filled with natural light & could effortlessly be transformed into a reading room, teen’s retreat, office space or even a 4th bedroom!

This adjoins seamlessly to the sprawling backyard. This space is already set up with a fire pit, cubby house & separate gated yard for livestock & more, so imagine what you can do with it!

- Outdoor entertaining galore – Hugging the home is a large L-shaped verandah, perched high off the street for a beautiful outlook.
