Secure a distinctive piece of Cairns with this iconic freehold property, positioned on the corner of Abbott and Florence Streets, just one street back from the Esplanade.

Set on 507m², this character filled building presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to establish a business presence, explore alternative uses or unlock the potential of a prominent CBD address, subject to Council approval (STCA).

The ground floor has previously been configured and utilised for office purposes, with a dedicated Abbott Street entrance and excellent street frontage offering strong visibility for business signage. Exposure to passing foot traffic and proximity to the Esplanade give this address particular appeal for businesses servicing the tourism sector, subject to the necessary approvals.

Upstairs offers a generous layout with the potential for office accommodation or residential use (STCA). A substantial front verandah and traditional features throughout create an inviting setting with enduring character.

Internal access connects both levels, with potential to reconfigure or separate the upstairs and downstairs areas to suit future requirements (STCA).
