18 Ashford Road

Some homes are simply built. Others are poured into,year after year, room by room, with the kind of care that only comes from truly loving where you live. 18 Ashford Road is one of those homes. For over four decades, this classic raised Queenslander has been the heart of one family's story where every renovation was done with pride, patience, and purpose. Now, on a generous 1,012m² block in one of Gympie's most convenient and quietly held streets, it's ready for its next chapter. From the street, it's immediately inviting, a high-set Queenslander wrapped in fresh Abbey cladding beneath a new light grey Colorbond roof, framed by lush, colourful gardens the owners have lovingly planted over many years. A concrete driveway with space for four cars leads past the big double carport and up to the front stairs, where a sensor light greets you as the sun goes down. Step inside and you'll feel the difference straight away. The owners opened up the lounge, dining, and kitchen into one beautifully flowing space, and the result is stunning. High VJ-lined ceilings with exposed timber beams give the home that unmistakable Queenslander character, while new vinyl plank flooring, new windows, and multiple air-conditioning units keep everything fresh, bright, and comfortable year-round. Being a high-set home, you'll catch those lovely southerly breezes through the house in summer, something only a true Queenslander can offer. The kitchen is a real pride and joy, a practical space with sleek laminate benchtops, Platinum appliances including dishwasher, oven, and cooktop, and plenty of storage. It flows naturally into the dining area and out through a new sliding glass door to the covered back deck, where ceiling fans keep the air moving on warm evenings. The view from the deck stretches over the treetops; it's easy to imagine spending every weekend out here. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms sit beneath those high ceilings with ceiling fans to keep the air circulating. The primary bedroom features a new double doorway that floods the room with extra light and air, a thoughtful touch that transforms the space. Two additional enclosed sleep-outs provide genuine flexibility as multipurpose rooms, a home office, kids' playroom, guest retreat, or hobby space. That kind of adaptable layout is hard to come by. Downstairs is where this home really opens up. The owners have fully enclosed the under-house area with steel gates, windows, and secure lock-up, creating a large recreation room complete with its own kitchenette and air-conditioning, perfect as a rumpus room, teenager's retreat, workshop, or second living space. A spare shower has already been plumbed into the laundry, ready for a future bathroom conversion. There's also a massive covered storage area, a separate storage room, and a small shed tucked into the back of the yard. Outside, the quarter-acre block is a joy. Beautiful established gardens burst with colourful shrubs, broadleaf and couch grass lawns are lush and green, and there's even a water tank to keep it all thriving. The owners have kept chickens in the backyard for over ten years, with protective houses for lock-up at night, so if fresh eggs every morning sounds like your kind of lifestyle, the setup is already here. New fences, ARC mesh retaining walls, and automatic sensor lighting at the back round out a yard that's been thoroughly cared for. The location is hard to beat. Gympie State High School is literally over the road, One Mile State School is close by, there's a corner shop within walking distance, and the bus picks up just a few houses along. You're minutes from the CBD, the hospital, and everything Gympie has to offer, all while living in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood where people still look out for one another. The owners have poured their heart and soul into this home. What was once a tired old house has been transformed with a new roof, new cladding, new kitchen, new flooring, new windows, and so much more, all done with love and an eye for getting it right. The bathroom is the next project for its new owner to put their own stamp on, and the painting is ready to be finished. This is a home with incredible bones, genuine character, and a story of care that you can feel the moment you walk through the door.
