3 Pelican Street, Innisfail, Qld 4860

This 1940s Highset home has only had two owners since new.

The current owner has thrown quite a lot of money into the home to improve the amenity and appearance. At some stage the house was reclad in zincalume, however on peeling it back, lovely hardwood Chamfer boards were discovered. They have been repaired and replaced by a professional building company and the whole house has just been professionally painted. The result has turned a bit of an ugly duckling into a house with a very pleasing curbside appeal.

With polished hardwood floors throughout and high ceilings, the upstairs consists of three bedrooms, two quite large, and all with reasonably new Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners. The kitchen is a throwback to the Art Deco style and is open to the dining area. The bathroom has had a facelift at some point and is also quite a good size. The main lounge area is at the front of the house and gets lovely natural light.

Downstairs consists of a very large self-contained 1 bedroom flat. It has a huge bedroom and a large open-plan dining area with a kitchenette. There is a second full bathroom. The tiles throughout have just been professionally laid together with a Hydropoxy seal. There is also a cyclone safe room down here.

The 1113 sqm block ( over 1/4 acre) has a large variety of tropical fruit trees from Soursop and Sapote to mandarin, orange, lemon, grapefruit, and lime trees. Add Mulberries dragonfruit, passionfruit, banana, pawpaw, and pineapples and you have a tropical fruit platter in the backyard. Along with the established and productive raised veggie garden bed, it is a delight to eat from your backyard. There is still room for chickens and beehives and no rear neighbour is a bonus.

The full-length concrete driveway fans to double width and runs beneath a very high clearance double carport suitable for a van or boat and onto a fully powered double garage and workshop. Powder-coated aluminium fencing not only looks impressive but will keep the dogs and family safe and secure.

A lot of house for the money in a convenient central location.
