Beautiful Colonial-Style Home in Cooktown’s Historic Heart

Nestled just one street back from Cooktown’s main street, this beautifully maintained colonial-style timber weatherboard home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the town’s most desirable locations. Combining timeless charm with modern functionality, the property is perfect for families, retirees, or investors seeking quality, comfort, and convenience.

 

The home features three spacious bedrooms—two with built-in wardrobes—and a generous master suite complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two of the bedrooms open directly onto wide wraparound verandas spanning two and a half sides of the home, capturing cool tropical breezes and offering distant views of the Endeavour River.

 

A galley-style kitchen flows effortlessly into a large open-plan lounge and dining area, ideal for relaxed tropical living. The main bathroom includes both a separate shower and bathtub, while practical touches such as full air conditioning, insect screens throughout, and an internal laundry enhance everyday comfort.

 

Additional highlights include polished timber floorboards (ready for repolishing), a separate toilet, and ramp access for ease of entry. The property sits on a flood-free 885m² corner block with a single-bay lockable garage/shed and attached undercover carport providing space for two vehicles.

 

With its blend of colonial character and contemporary features, this home is a standout opportunity in Cooktown’s growing market. Plus, the house next door is also available—offering exceptional potential for dual ownership, extended family living, or future development.
