About this property
Childers charmer - with aircon, WIFI and modern luxuries
This gorgeous air conditioned period property with all modern luxuries is the perfect home away from home. Ideal for either a short or long stay.
This property was commissioned in 1890 for the local doctor and has recently been renovated back to the true charm & character of a traditional QLDer with modern touches. It boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a generous front and back deck and views across the countryside.
Childer's is a charming town full of great cafe's, quirky shops, pubs and all the amenities you'll need.
The space
After walking in through the white picket fence you will be ready to relax in this charming 130yr old qld'er. The beautifully restored french doors allow gorgeous airflow to the house as it sits high on the side of a hill and all the modern luxuries like wifi will ensure a enjoyable stay.
Sit and enjoy your morning coffee on the front veranda and end the day relaxing with a beer or wine.
As you enter the property the beautiful fretwork above internal doors and 3m high ceilings are beautiful features leading you into an open plan living and dining space.
The modern kitchen includes a dishwasher and microwave and everything else you'll need to enjoy your stay. There is complimentary tea and coffee and milk on arrival.
There are 4 generous sized bedrooms. The master bed has its own private lounge, walk in robe and en-suite. All linen, towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap is provided.
The yard is a work in progress, however, it is fully fenced and pet friendly. There is also a fire pit in the backyard to enjoy some family friendly time.
The town of Childers
Childers is the central gateway to the wide bay region and a fantastic place to base yourself for weeks of exploration. It is a charming town full of great cafe's, quirky shops and pubs and all the amenities you'll find in a large town.
Put the car away and walk to everywhere within 15 minutes. There is a Woolworths and IGA for your grocery needs, heaps of cool cafe's to explore and some great kids playgrounds.
Known eateries include a Mcdonalds and a Subway as well as lots of great local flavours.
Local services include a hospital, doctors, pathologists, radiologist, dentist, veterinarian, 4x Mechanics, hardware stores, Commonwealth, National and Suncorp Banks and many more. This really is the small town with everything!
