314 Bourbong Street

Bundaberg West QLD 4670

Set on a manicured 1,662m corner allotment in the heart of Bundaberg West, The Cran House has been lovingly restored to blend the grace of the late 19th century with modern comfort and liveability. The classic Queenslander faade, wide wrap-around verandas, and butterfly staircase set the tone for what lies within - a home of extraordinary charm and presence.

Inside, the grand ballroom is the showpiece - complete with soaring ceilings, bay window, chandelier, ceiling roses, and an ornate fireplace. This magnificent space once hosted glittering balls attended by Bundaberg's elite, its verandah seating famously used by guests who stepped outside for a moment between dances. It remains today a statement of architectural artistry and social history - the perfect setting for unforgettable events, celebrations, or simply to enjoy as part of daily life.

The residence offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms plus powder room, and multiple living and entertaining zones, including a morning room with fireplace and chandelier. The French Provincial kitchen, with its stone benchtops, island bench, and premium appliances, is designed for both function and elegance, flowing seamlessly to the verandah and gardens beyond.

The master suite is a sanctuary of timeless elegance with French doors to the verandah, wall-to-wall robes, and a luxurious ensuite featuring a freestanding bath and twin vanities. The fifth bedroom functions beautifully as a home office, with private external access - ideal for consulting or creative work from home.

Adding to the home's appeal is Avalon on Bourbong - a fully self-contained guest retreat with private entrance. Configurable as a one- or two-bedroom suite, Avalon blends into the property's heritage aesthetic. While not currently operating, it presents an ideal opportunity to Airbnb or offer boutique accommodation if desired. With its own deck, kitchenette, and period-style bathroom, Avalon is also perfect for visiting family, extended stays, or generating income - It also serves beautifully as a bridal suite - a serene haven for a bride to prepare for her wedding day and spend her first night as a newlywed.

Beyond its role as a family home, The Cran House lends itself to being an exclusive events venue - its grand proportions, sweeping verandas, and lush gardens creating a romantic backdrop for intimate weddings, private celebrations, or executive functions.
With garaging for four vehicles, additional off-street parking, established gardens, and over 59m of verandah space, this home offers as much substance as it does style. Meticulously maintained, it is truly turnkey ready.

The Cran House is more than an address - it's a rare privilege, a landmark that celebrates Bundaberg's rich past while offering a life of grace, space, and opportunity in the present.
