Mount Coolum 70 Toolga Street

Found and the quiet and private end of Toolga Street; this three bedroom, two-storey cedar home has exudes character reminiscent of a mountain cottage.
Engineer Bob Lilly built this and several homes throughout Coolum to a cyclone proof standard, with a timber structure on poles so it sways with the wind.
Another Lilly feature is the easy floorplan ideal for making alterations and extensions.
Presented to the market for the first time in nearly 20 years, the owners were first enticed by four tall gum trees, which still stand proud today complemented by established gardens dotted across the 511sqm block.
Upstairs, entrance is via a northfacing timber veranda and through sliding glass doors, where hardwood floors and raked exposed beam ceilings create an inviting feel.
An open plan design incorporates the kitchen with dining bar and airconditioned lounge, where the potbelly stove is centrepiece, ideally located to warm the entire home during winter.
Ample storage is on offer in the galley-style kitchen, which has Miele appliances; tasteful décor of white and redwood-look cabinets and a long island bench comfortably seating four for meals.
The kitchen opens on to an alfresco timber deck, which overlooks the yard and garden and the ideal spot for brunch.
A separate wing houses two bedrooms, separated by a renovated bathroom with pebble feature tiles in the shower and a luxurious bath. One of the rooms has built-in robe, desk space and sliding door access to the deck. The remaining bedroom is at the rear of the house.
Parking for two vehicles is available under the house, as is the laundry and multi-use space. Insulation and power means minor work will convert it into a home office, granny flat, man cave or whatever the heart desires.
Mount Coolum is within 750m; while the nearest beach is about a 20-minute walk away.
Ideally suited to a range of buyers, do not miss this opportunity to purchase a slice of Coolum with a range of conveniences nearby.
