MULTIPLE living and development opportunities exist for the buyer of this untouched, original Queenslander set in the heart of Cairns.
Sitting on a large 911sq m block is 3 MacNamara St, Manunda – a three-bedroom house which has retained much of its original character and charm from when it was built in the late 1940s.
The well constructed and immaculately maintained home has only seen one family grow up at the address and has now entered the market for the first time in its history – going under the hammer on September 19 with Cairns Property Office’s Kerry Ah Chin.

“The biggest highlight is that it still has all its original features from the 1940s,” she said.
“From the impressive high ceilings, to the ornamental corners, the casement windows, which allow in plenty of natural light, and I’m told under the carpet there are lovely timber floors.
“There’s just so much original and beautiful detail. Instantly it has a very warm feel.”
Like all traditional Queenslanders, the use of timber was not scarce, but Ms Ah Chin said the kitchen featured a special kind.

“Enter from the front porch you’ll feel the warmth as you step inside to a spacious living area through to the unique kitchen with original native Kauri Pine cupboards, dining table and bench seat as well as bench oven and cooktop.”
With three large bedrooms the master features built-in cupboards and a dresser, while downstairs there is an additional “sleep-out” alongside the laundry.
“This character-filled home is ready to live in now with the perfect palette for renovating down the track,” Ms Ah Chin said.
“It would be great for a home business.
“It’s zoned medium density residential and because it’s in a great location with plenty of space it could be perfect to build your own dream home from scratch.
“Subject to approval, there would even an opportunity to develop units here.”
