High above the banks of the Mary River, one of the finest Federation residences on the Fraser Coast sits within a well-curated sub-tropical garden. This circa 1890s Maryborough private residence comes to market for the first time in almost 45 years. Occupying a 3,344 sqm double block with 44 linear meters of river frontage, the grounds and mature gardens are meticulously manicured. It is a peaceful sanctuary yet only minutes from the heart of town. Impeccably presented, the home sprawls across 863 square metres, interiors and undercover, with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a charming kitchen and multiple living and dining areas indoors and out. Hardwood timber floors, Silky Oak interior doors, original leadlight windows, and 3.3-metre ceilings are a testament to its timeless elegance, while the signature wide verandahs are a perfectly elevated spot to savour the glorious breezes, garden fragrances, and river vistas. Held by one family for almost 45 years, this is a home for all seasons. It is where the magnificent grounds laced with tree orchids are in full song come spring, and summers are spent cooking woodfire pizzas poolside. Come autumn watch from the wide wraparound verandahs while kids play on the lawn then spend winter evenings curled up indoors by the cosy wood fire. Promising serenity without compromising on convenience, you can walk to parks, schools and the CBD. Alternatively, step back in time with a stroll along Wharf Street, where heritage-listed buildings line the Mary River or be transported to your childhood, with the annual Mary Poppins Festival, a community favourite with visitors coming from far and wide. Travel is easy to beaches, a regional airport, the Brisbane Airport and the Brisbane CBD. Truly, this is a place where the next generation of owners will be proud to call their home sweet home.
