Set in a peaceful, character filled street, this post war 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home has an interesting feature. Once owned by Geoffrey Rush’s family, 41a Clark Street has not only charm, but a wonderful, convenient location. Imagine being able to walk into the heart of Toowoomba’s vibrant centre in less than 10 minutes. St Saviours College, St Josephs College and East State School are also within walking distance, as is Groom Park, Lake Annand and Queens Park.

Past the neat picket fence is a welcoming north-east facing porch and entry. This much-loved home is solidly built with weatherboards, a tiled roof and lovely period features. Consistent with the era are gorgeous, wide, polished timber floors, moulded ceilings, picture rails and stained-glass panels. Every room exudes a delightful sentimental feel, reminiscent of a gentler, simpler lifestyle.

Quite deceptive in size, the kitchen has an added bonus – another room, not unlike a butler’s pantry. There are built-in robes in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, and all have security screens on the windows. Additional storage is adjacent to the centrally located bathroom, which has timber panelling and a shower over the bath. An extra toilet is tucked away in the outside laundry.

The 512 square metre allotment is fully fenced with established gardens, providing enviable privacy in the back yard. The original, free standing garage has been converted into a delightful studio, with timber French doors opening out to the carport.

It is hard to believe that such an appealing residential pocket is so quiet and charming, yet so close to so many amenities. 41A Clark Street is a gorgeous piece of nostalgia, full of ambience, convenience and soul.
