A Grown-Ups Cubby House in Oaks Estate

There may not be a lake nearby but this two-bedroom cottage at1/50 Railway Street in Oaks Estate certainly gives off American lake-house vibes…and it’s just moments away from Queanbeyan.

The original wooden walls and floors have remained untouched throughout the decades, giving an interior that looks very similar to a lake house where families in America would stay on a summer holiday.

Wood is spread across the walls and floors of the two-bedroom one-bathroom property, which sits on a large 2000sqm block of land on the border of NSW and ACT.

Built in 1989 and listed with Maya Rourke of McIntyre Property, the former owner bought the property about 17 years ago.

Ms Rourke said there is endless potential to expand and renovate the cottage.

“You can do anything with this property."

According to Ms Rourke, the newly-listed property has already received interest and the current owners are excited to see a new family enjoy the property the way they did.

“There is so much land to enjoy here,” Ms Rourke said.

Enter through the front door and you are greeted with a very large living area with a fireplace and wooden floors and walls that almost feels like you are inside a steam sauna.

Tucked away off the living room is the kitchen which has plenty of bench space and a breakfast bar.

The two bedrooms both feature built-in-wardrobes. There is also a bathroom with a shower, a laundry and separate toilet.

From here is direct access to the verandah which overlooks the expansive block of land on offer.

For someone with a passion for landscaping and gardening, this huge block of land provides for ample opportunity to start growing a garden.

Additional features include double glazed windows, a storage shed, electric roller shutters, and a front gate.

The wooden cottage heads to auction on 14 July at 12pm and there are upcoming inspections on Thursday 1 July at 5:30pm and Saturday 3 July at 10am.
