Behind its classic white picket fence, this character-filled Queenslander known as Anam Cara offers something genuinely difficult to find: two complete living environments on one private 818m² block in the heart of Cooroy.
This is far more than a home with a basic granny flat. The original early-1900s Queenslander is connected by a hallway to an attached, fully self-contained two-bedroom cottage. Each residence has its own kitchen, bathroom and living space, allowing them to function together as one substantial five-bedroom home or be separated when privacy and independence are required.
It is an outstanding arrangement for extended families, Grandparents, adult children, blended households, or anyone wanting a serious work-from-home space without sacrificing their main residence. It also provides the rare opportunity for multiple generations to live together while still maintaining their own space, routines and independence.
The original Queenslander is rich in authentic character, with soaring 12-foot VJ ceilings, VJ walls, solid timber floorboards, original timber doors, decorative fanlights, french doors, lattice gates and a traditional bullnose verandah. These original features give the home genuine warmth and personality that cannot be recreated in a modern build.
Generous open-plan lounge and dining areas are filled with natural light and benefit from excellent cross-ventilation. The recently completed kitchen brings a fresh, contemporary finish to the home, featuring stone benchtops, extensive preparation space and an abundance of storage and cabinetry. It provides the practicality required for everyday family living while sitting comfortably within the character of the original home. The main residence includes three bedrooms plus a separate study, offering flexibility for those needing a home office, reading room, children's retreat or additional living space. The renovated main bathroom features a freestanding bath and separate shower, with an additional separate toilet.
Connected to the main residence by a hallway, the attached two-bedroom cottage was constructed in 2012 and designed to complement the style of the original Queenslander. Importantly, it is not simply additional bedroom space-it is effectively a second home.
The cottage includes its own full kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet and spacious open-plan lounge and dining area. Both bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, while timber floors, air-conditioning and French doors continue the warmth and character found throughout the property. French doors open from the cottage living area onto the covered outdoor entertaining space overlooking the saltwater swimming pool. This creates a relaxed and private area where both households can come together, while the design still allows each side of the property to retain its own distinct living environment.
The fully fenced backyard is private, established and well suited to children and pets. Dual access from Kauri Street and Ruby Lane, together with two sets of gates, adds another level of practicality and may allow the different living areas to operate with greater independence.
Additional features include a carport, workshop/margarita shed, an abundance of secure storage beneath the house and plenty of room for pool equipment, tools and household storage.
