Nestled in a lovely garden at the end of a small cul de sac on the side of a hill sits ‘Waratah’, a gracious old lady of grand proportions with a delightful history.

Born in 1883, Waratah began life in Annerley, Brisbane, where she was once home to the extraordinary Cilento Family. Almost 100 years later she was saved from destruction and moved to her present 1400m2 site in Brisbane’s leafy outer north near the quaint seaside village of Sandgate.

This beautiful four bedroom home gives you plenty of room to move with multiple living areas, 15ft ceilings and deep wraparound verandahs. Whether its hosting a pool party by the incredible sandstone edged pool, a dinner party in the glorious dining room, games by the fire or a simple afternoon coffee on the verandah, Waratah will provide you with all of your entertainment options.

The large kitchen with adjoining laundry will impress, the wide benches, natural light and abundance of cupboard space making it a chefs dream. A porcelain sink and modern vintage look cooker add charm and personality to this wonderful space.

Throughout the house there are the most beautiful leadlight windows and doors, one set of doors even salvaged from the former Cloudland. Sparkling chandeliers and divine ceiling roses and timber arches and columns add to the comfortable glamour of this delightful residence. Showcased already in two Australian home magazines, Waratah is a special place and deserves a special family.

Outside is a very private garden, enormous pool, built in chess set and a fabulous two storey cubby house. There is a shed and a carport and secure fencing all around the property. The street is small and is home to really friendly, caring neighbours who take great pride in their homes.

Just around the corner, the buses to several excellent private schools pick up students, Nudgee College, St Patricks, St Rita’s to name a few. There is also a private primary school within walking distance, St Josephs, as well as public schools, TAFE and day care centres. Public transport including bus and train are nearby.

Ten minutes away are the lovely cafes, beaches and shops of Sandgate and Shorncliffe, the yacht club a great place to store your boat. There are two major supermarkets only minutes away and the Gateway is a mere five-minute drive so you can be at the Gold or Sunshine Coasts in no time. Chermside and North Lakes Westfield’s are just minutes away and the CBD can be reached under 30 minutes.

Waratah is without a doubt the best house in the area, it has been lovingly renovated and cared for and will make any new family proud to call her home.
