Some homes are simply built, while others are thoughtfully created. Welcome to Cottage on Mackenzie, a residence where the charm and character of a 1950s cottage have been beautifully reimagined into a home of timeless elegance, warmth and understated luxury. Meticulously transformed by renowned Mackay custom home builders, Cotter Builders, the cottage was reimagined across two renovation stages. Both stages went on to receive prestigious Master Builders Queensland Awards in 2022 & 2025, recognising the craftsmanship & thoughtful design. From the moment you step inside, there is an undeniable sense of warmth and tranquillity. Soaring exposed beam ceilings create an immediate impression of space, while natural light pours into the open-plan living areas, enhancing its warmth & beautiful finishes. A striking stone feature in the living room adds texture & character, creating a beautiful focal point within the heart of the home.

The kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Designed to be as functional as it is beautiful, this custom space features engineered Carrara stone benchtops, a farmer style fireclay sink & exquisite marble tile splashback. Taking centre stage is the highly sought-after, vintage-inspired Smeg Victoria induction cooker, bringing a touch of European charm & an exceptional cooking experience to this thoughtful design. A generous adjoining pantry provides additional bench space & abundant storage, cleverly incorporating the laundry to maintain the seamless flow of the home. Custom-built display cabinetry & an integrated office desk create another beautifully considered space. Large aluminium bifold doors effortlessly connect the indoor living areas with the outdoor entertaining space, inviting fresh air and natural light into the home and perfect for relaxed afternoons with family & friends. The main bedroom is a peaceful retreat, complete with a generous walk-through wardrobe featuring thoughtfully designed hanging space and drawers. Flowing through to the stunning ensuite, you'll discover beautiful brushed brass fittings, a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower and a custom solid timber vanity paired with a contemporary concrete-look basin. The elegant brushed brass fittings continue throughout the home, adding a cohesive touch of understated luxury. The main bathroom is equally impressive, offering a luxurious freestanding bath, beautifully tiled shower & another bespoke timber vanity with a custom concrete basin. It is a space designed for relaxation, where everyday routines feel just a little more indulgent. Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family or guests, with the second bedroom enjoying the added luxury of a spacious dressing room/ walk-in wardrobe or desk space. All four bedrooms feature split-system air-conditioning, ceiling fans and carpet for year-round comfort. Throughout the home, beautiful feature panelling pays homage to its heritage, adding warmth, texture & a sense of character that simply cannot be replicated. Outside, the charm continues. The covered timber patio, complete with ceiling fans, provides a seamless extension of the living space & a beautiful place to unwind. Beyond, a dedicated fire pit area invites evenings under the stars, conversations with friends & treasured family memories.
