21A Mabel Street

Your chance for a slice of history!

First time on the market in more than 40 years - and vast history beyond that - this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be missed.

Yes there is a bit of a project - with some work needed to bring her back to her former glory - but WOW is all you can say! If you have the vision, this amazing home will absolutely become a showpiece of the Peninsula.

My Sellers have lived here for over 40 years, raised seven kids here who all went to the school across the road and to little athletics in the park and dragged kayaks to the end of the street to swim at Margate Beach - does that paint a picture of an idyllic lifestyle? School bell rings - run across the road and off to school we go!

Walk every evening along the foreshore boardwalk and stop for a chat with neighbours and locals out exercising or dog walking in the sea breeze.

Experience the sunrises over Moreton Island and sunsets over the mountains and just enjoy natures wonders.

Leave the car at home - it's a five minute walk to the chemist, Woolies, fruit shop, post office, Dolphin Fish and Chip shop, Margate Beach medical clinic and Soul Harvest Wholefoods for coffee and cake - or grab your electric bikes for a trip along the waterfront and to the Margate business hub.

Langdon Park attracts native birds which come to the veranda to visit - kookaburras, magpies, rainbow lorikeets and more.

Getting the picture?

The open studio style granny flat is prepared and ready for renovation and a new fit out in your own style, with air bnb options available (STCA), as well as more permanent rental options, which in this housing crisis could bring in additional income or alternatively house your extended family.

The full length verandah, in true Queenslander style, stretches across the front of the house, and is large enough to hold gatherings, host Christmas lunch and birthday dinners. Many a games night and festive dinner party has been enjoyed here. North facing, this space is also perfect for quiet hour reading, writing, painting etc. - or a morning toast and tea - or an afternoon wine! It is my Sellers favourite spot - easy to see why - and so hard to replace.

Did I mention this home as a slice of history? Well over 130 years old, it is the original Humpybong school master's cottage attached to the original school house, one of the first schools built in Queensland for the children of founding and farming families in the Moreton Bay settlement area. Once in a lifetime.....

As custodians of this rare building, my Sellers are very proud to have had the opportunity to belong here for more than four decades, and to have felt safe in a structure that has stood the test of time and weathered many storms and remains standing strong.

There is a brand new roof, brand new Daikin split system air conditioning in the master bedroom, modernised open plan kitchen with plenty of storage and modern bathroom with vintage vanity basin.

If I have painted a picture to whet your appetite - if you have it in you to share a vision - if you have ever imagined living in a grand home - only meters to the water - and with potential extra income earnings or ideal work from home facilities as icing on the cake - you know what you need to do.

Contact Lindsay at Abode Properties to arrange your private inspection - and yes there is a lot to take in - but please, oh please, don't miss this one and ask me to keep my eye out for something similar- they don't exist!!

It's up to you from here!
