Tamborine

With its generous proportions, enchanting architectural detail and flexible three-level layout, this is a property where imagination takes flight and your new lifestyle begins. Already an elegant mountain residence, easily adapted for extended family living, or transformed into a larger home filled with creative and commercial possibility, 16-18 MacDonnell Road offers a rare chance to own one of Tamborine Mountain's iconic buildings, and be part of a new comfortable and uncongested Mountain way of life. Wrapped in wide verandahs, ornate iron lacework and cascading greenery, this grand Queenslander sits proudly at the precipice of Tamborine Mountain's most iconic precinct; a true character home, now ready to become your cherished private residence. With 550 sqm developed on 3 levels and set on an expansive 2,598 sqm block only a short stroll to Gallery Walk, the property blends traditional craftsmanship with oversized living spaces, easy access, leafy privacy and security, the kind of architectural detail rarely found today. On the street level, polished hardwood floors glow under soft natural light as French doors open to deep wraparound verandahs overlooking the gardens. The statement sandstone fireplace and chimney - hand-laid and beautifully preserved - anchor the main living zone with warmth and presence. Decorative arches separate off multiple living zones, bay windows, window seats and timber detailing create a home that feels nostalgic yet full of life, with generous proportions that invite your imagination. Whether your vision includes a sprawling family home, multigenerational living, creative studios or entertaining spaces, the layout offers remarkable flexibility and easily converts to a charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom farmhouse on the street level including the existing large secure retreat on the third level. On the ground floor, three bedrooms and the large open-plan living and dining areas rest upon stunning stone flooring, adding depth, texture and a natural earthiness that grounds the home and brings the outside in seamlessly. A fully equipped kitchen, multiple French door connections to the private gardens. Multipurpose rooms provide obvious potential for dual living, a private retreat, or hobby rooms. Tucked-away on the third level is a fitted work space perfect for an artist, makers studio or weekend hideaway.
