Built somewhere in the early to mid 20th Century, this Ole Girl, has some stories to tell, some tales to share, and is an old book, worth being read at least one more time by a new generation.
This three-bedroom, one-bathroom home is very much a renovator, with plenty of work to do. Some stumping will need attention, and there are a myriad of gaps and cracks that currently allow the natural breezes to keep the place exceptionally well aerated. But with a bit of elbow grease, some tenacity and a willingness to get 'stuck in' \, there is plenty here to work with.
Worthy of note, some of the less glamorous but very useful (and expensive) upgrades have already been tackled. The home has new plumbing, wiring, a new hot water service, multiple split-system air conditioners and a large solar system already in place and as icing on the cake, an oven set to please any at home chef or baker.
There has also been a serious upgrade to the water setup. Wowan's town supply comes from bore water, and historically it has not always been particularly kind to kettles, washing machines or other household appliances. A substantial filtration system has now been installed to make the supplied water far more practical for everyday household use, taking one more issue off the future owner's list. Added to that, there is plenty of tank water to really keep you well hydrated. If you've ever had to survive on tank and bore water before, you will know just how much added value the two bring to the table in a regional Queensland.
The bones of the home though, are where the opportunity to add more value and your own mark on the place. Older homes like this were built in an era when materials were expected to last, and while this one certainly needs attention, last, they have.
For someone looking to get away from the bigger towns and cities, Wowan offers exactly that kind of slower-paced regional lifestyle. You are removed from the rat race, but not stranded from it. Mount Morgan is around 30 minutes away and Biloela is not much further, giving you access to larger shops, services and amenities when you need them.
This is not a property for someone chasing shiny, new and maintenance free. It is for the buyer who can look past what needs doing and see what could be here. Someone that wants to snatch up a 'renovator delight' that has some really impressive value add items in place.
With three bedrooms, air-conditioning, solar, upgraded plumbing & electrics new hot water and a much-improved water setup already taken care of, a good part of the practical groundwork has been laid. What is left is the part where someone gets to put their own mark on it.
Give this old girl some care, patch the gaps, straighten what needs straightening and bring her back into her own. Do that, and there is every chance she will still be standing here telling stories for another generation or two.
