Nestled behind the traditional picket fence, this delightful 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom colonial character home is perched on an amazing 1421 square metre allotment. Surrounded by an impressive garden brimming with fragrant blooms, mature trees, drought hardy natives and well-established fruit trees, 223 South Street is a haven of calm. The location is so convenient and hard to believe that it's less than a 5-minute drive to Toowoomba's vibrant C.B.D. and a mere 5-minute walk to the City Golf Club.

Embracing many of the original features, this large family home has undergone a recent renovation. Beautiful polished floors, VJ boards on the walls and ceilings, pretty timber fretwork and soaring ceilings convey an air of respectability, substance and old-world charm. Three of the 4 bedrooms have French doors which open onto the considerable, shady wrap around bull nosed verandah - providing substantial outdoor living. The master suite has a large modern ensuite, attached walk-in robe and delightful eastern aspect. Sharing the same aspect, the living room looks toward the tranquil dining room and adjoining study. Large picture windows ensure the leafy grounds can always be appreciated.

Timber floors run throughout the home, including the air-conditioned bedrooms. The bedrooms share a stylish central bathroom, which includes a bath and the laundry. The generous eat-in kitchen, with walk-in pantry, dishwasher, gas cooking and loads of bench (stone) and cupboard space, has been tastefully remodelled and features a gorgeous, striking tiled splashback. Leading from the kitchen, an appealing deck is the perfect place to enjoy the morning sun. Another alfresco area is located under the shade of the wisteria covered pergola. There are solar panels on the roof, and a double carport and 2 sheds are located at the rear of the property. Sensational storage can also be found in the attic. With room to stand in, and a pull-down ladder, this thoughtful inclusion is extremely handy.

Such a convenient location and in a neighbourhood filled with nostalgic cottages, 223 South Street is a very inviting family home with innate charm.
