Some homes carry the feeling of being genuinely lived in and loved. 1/72 Payne Street is one of them - a character brick and render cottage in Avoca that has been nurtured with real care by its current owners across the past 4 years. From the well-maintained painted exterior with its high-pitched cottage roof, to the reimagined courtyard, to the thoughtful touches inside and out, this is a home that has been improved through affection rather than reinvention.

Set on an approximately 540m² block within easy reach of the hospitals, local schools, Sugarland Shopping Precinct, and the Bundaberg CBD, it enjoys a private, well-secured position with a distinctly English cottage feel. The U-shaped driveway - one of the more recent additions - has genuinely transformed the front of the property, opening up the yard for practical parking while lifting the street appeal with tidy front gardens.

Step inside and discover:

- Air-conditioned lounge and dining with new timber-look flooring and a soft palette of whites, greys, and cool blue-grey accents flowing through the home
- Adjoining sitting room off the living - a versatile space suited to a home office, reading nook, or quiet retreat, with a rear window opening onto the courtyard
- Cottage-style kitchen freshened with paint and a distinctive multi-tone timber cladding feature wall - complete with electric oven, cooktop, and grill, dishwasher, and generous pantry space
- Main bedroom with a charming bay window - a soft, character-filled feature that lets natural light pour in from the front of the home
- 2 additional bedrooms with built-in robes and ceiling fans, with matching timber-look flooring flowing seamlessly throughout the home
- Freshened bathroom with shower, single vanity, and toilet, plus a genuinely handy second toilet by the laundry near the courtyard
- Private undercover courtyard of roughly 30m² - tiled, sheltered, and framed by garden surrounds, with an outdoor solar shower, pizza oven and Rinnai BBQ adding to the sense of an outdoor room
- Wrap-around gardens with pebbled walkway, vegetable and herb beds, and 2 garden sheds, privately screened by slatted carport walls and 1.8m timber fencing
- Double-bay high-clearance carport offset from the driveway, with 2x 15-amp points and extended antenna for caravan or camper use
- U-shaped driveway with the original exposed aggregate flowing into a crushed rock secondary entry - practical, welcoming, and unusually generous for a property of this style
- Plantation shutters throughout, solar panels, security screens, and 1.8m privacy fencing around the side and rear boundaries

More than a century old and beautifully cared for through its most recent chapter, 1/72 Payne Street is the kind of home that lets a buyer step straight into a lifestyle already carefully arranged - private, peaceful, and quietly full of character. Well-suited to a downsizer, first home buyer, or anyone drawn to homes with a story.
