Secure an Iconic Slice of Mackay History with "Wood Cottage"
For over 150 years, "Wood Cottage" has formed part of the fabric of Mackay's rich history. A local landmark named in memory of mayor, Ian Wood, not only is it the oldest home in the city, but it was once the Mackay District Hospital birthing ward (where Mr Wood was born in 1901!). Moved to its current location in 1923, many families have played their part as guardians of this prominent heritage haven, and now it's your turn to be the next proud custodian.
Time may have marched on since Mr William Tickle purchased this former women's ward for £275, but the charm of this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home has not declined. There are still many nods to its original era, with VJ walls, Hoop pine floors, French doors and soaring ceilings offering a nostalgic glimpse into its past. Today, it's ready to be restored to its former glory with plenty of scope to add an extension or further capitalise on its potential (STCA).
An unbeatable inner-city location, cafes, shops and restaurants are footsteps away. Plus, take advantage of the close proximity to Canelands Shopping Centre, Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre, the Showgrounds and the Pioneer River.
