Overview
This contemporary rendition of the traditional miner's cottage at 7A Edwards Street offers a thoughtful blend of heritage charm and modern convenience within a single-level layout. The spacious three-bedroom residence includes a main bathroom, ensuite, and a dedicated study, crafting a functional environment suited for everyday living and work-from-home needs.
Central to the home is an open-plan kitchen and living area that seamlessly connects to ample outdoor entertaining spaces, a feature that epitomizes North Queensland's lifestyle, facilitating effortless indoor-outdoor living and social gatherings. A unique internal courtyard strategically positioned at the home's centre floods the interior with natural light, enhancing openness while maintaining privacy from the street.
Designed without stairs or split levels, the home ensures ease of access throughout, underscoring practicality alongside aesthetic appeal. In a notable upgrade to the traditional cottage form, the laundry is conveniently located indoors, eliminating the need to venture outside with household chores. The inclusion of two carports offers covered parking options.
The outdoor space has been deliberately minimized to allow for manageable upkeep, freeing up owners’ weekends from extensive yard work — a lifestyle benefit for busy professionals and families alike.

West End's community features diverse fitness options including gyms, Pilates studios, and outdoor activity groups, complemented by Castle Hill’s free outdoor gym facilities.
