Cooktown, QLD, 4895, Australia

Grand in all proportions, this architecturally stunning, two level reinforced concrete building is rich with history and was purpose built in 1890-1891, officially opened as The Bank of North Queensland.

The two-storey brick building is one of Cooktown's more substantial buildings in the heart of the CBD. The ground floor is made up of a decorated front terrace with ornamental steel gates with grand primary entry doors opening to a large open space featuring semi polished Terrazzo flooring, storerooms and kitchenette, from here there’s an impressive ornate staircase that leads you to the first level which contains 3 large bedrooms one of which has its own ensuite and private louvred balcony.

The kitchen wing adjacent to the sprawling dining room both enjoy views over the town centre and breathtaking vista's out to the Endeavour River. The majestic lounge room is traditionally comfortable linking the expansive hallway and very noticeable flowing systematically with cathedral high ceiling throughout the entire building.

A private and separate entrance to the side of the main entry with matching grand entry doors leads to a one-bedroom unit with access to the private courtyard at the rear of the building. Directly above this unit is another one bedroom unit with its own separate entry via an embellished staircase at ground level adjacent unit 1 entry.

The original building structure consists of approximately 450sqm over both ground and first levels, with the ground floor receiving an approximate 260sqm inclusive of granny flat. Adjacent to the granny flat is another staircase which leads to another storeroom at first level with access to the ground level open area via another impressive internal timber staircase.

The improvements consist of a mostly flat 1,012sqm block with a slightly slopped portion at the rear and home to a large header water tank once used as the main water supply to gravity feed water to the building which is no longer in use due to the town water supply.
