23 Kent Street, West Gladstone QLD 4680

Every now and then, an exceptional home comes onto the market. This beautiful Queenslander - 'Canopy House' - sits impressively on three street frontages. Considered one of Gladstone's best kept secrets this grand residence is within minutes to Restaurants, Gladstone Marina, East Shore Precinct, schools and sporting facilities, University and Hospital. Walking through the front door you will fall in love with the beauty charm and character that is unique to this Queenslander. This is a unique opportunity to own a slice of heaven in a quiet location while enjoying a CBD lifestyle, one where you can leave the car at home!

Originally built in the 1890s by Gladstone Mayor Patrick Breslin, this home was extensively restored in the 1980s as close as practical to the original look, including structural updates, new electrical and plumbing, and an extension to enlarge the living space. Subsequent owners have maintained and improved the property, so you have all the enjoyment without any of the work!

There's plenty of room for the family with three bedrooms, a formal lounge, separate living area, dining room, and kitchen. On the lower level is a family/guest room, with a separate bathroom/laundry and office. A double lock-up garage and workspace with storage complete the layout.

The master bedroom is a haven of relaxation and heritage charm with a beautiful leadlight bay window and window seat, and a walk-in robe with make-up station, hidden shoe compartment and attic access. All bedrooms open onto a private, screened deck where you can take your morning coffee or enjoy a nightcap in the cool evening air.

Multiple sets of French doors open onto the wrap-around verandahs - the ideal spot for entertaining friends or relaxing with a cool drink catching the ocean breeze. Can you imagine the parties that have been held on this verandah?

Nestled amongst trees on a fully fenced 1,611m2 corner block with pathways meandering through beautifully landscaped private gardens and entertaining areas, the outdoor space is as exquisite as the inside.
