The architecturally timeless Wonga Villa, dating back to the early 1900′s, is a grand colonial home with character features in abundance. With enormous rooms, numerous fireplaces, stunning woodwork, stained glass and multiple living areas throughout, this home has something to offer everyone.
Tucked behind the home’s private front fence, you are greeted by wide verandas and subtropical greenery. The central hallway offers direct access to 2 large bedrooms and then opens into a lounge and formal dining room of ballroom proportions, where 2 marble fireplaces take centre stage. The kitchen overlooks both an informal family room with ornate cedar fireplace and the spectacular tree lined, private entertaining area. A further bedroom, study, two bathrooms and a sauna complete the upper level.
Downstairs easily accommodates a pool table, living area, third bathroom and an additional kitchen. This area would suit a large family, aged parents, visitors or a teenager’s retreat. The 4 additional downstairs bedrooms can be readily used for a study, gym or media room.
While Wonga Villa has been home for a large family of 7 and is synonymous for functional family living, with its 6 bedrooms, 2 offices, 3 bathrooms and multiple living areas, the downstairs area with separate entrance provides the potential for the rooms to be repurposed as a bespoke home-based office or dual living capacity.
The home is located within the catchment for the highly respected Eagle Junction Primary School and Kedron State High School and is also in close proximity to many of Brisbane’s top private secondary schools. The proximity to airport and city trains, buses, major shopping centres and parks makes for an extremely convenient and desirable location.
For those who appreciate the history and charm of the traditional Queenslander and contemporary open-plan living, this house will be love at first sight. Wonga Villa is now ready to enter a new chapter with our empty nesters ready to move on.
This impressive home will be sold on or before auction. Feel welcome to give Leigh Kortlang a call on 0400 434 244 to register your interest.
