Located just 2.5 km from the city centre, in an elevated position overlooking the city and adjoining countryside, lies this grand old turn-of-the-century Period Queenslander.

Sitting behind a classic white picket fence, the substantial residence shares over 3000 square metres of predominately flat land with an ant-bed tennis court, guest cottage, workshop and chicken coop, all surrounded by established lawns and cottage inspired gardens with decades-old shade and fruit trees.

The circa 1899 north facing period home has charming street appeal with wide steps leading up to the lead light front door. Both the front and side verandah’s overlook the tennis court and feature wrought iron balustrade and period fretwork.

Upon entry, one is met by a large central hallway with VJ walls and high ceilings, connecting firstly to three specious bedrooms with the carpeted master featuring large built-in wardrobes and reverse cycle air-conditioning. The remaining two bedrooms are also carpeted and have floor to ceiling wardrobes and direct access onto the verandah through French doors.

The open wood fireplace in the formal lounge room brings warmth and ambiance to the living area of the home, while the separate formal dining room is strategically located adjacent to the kitchen and in between the sitting room/library. An underfloor oil heating system is ducted through out the home plus an additional two split system air conditioning units in the lounge and second bedroom. A duel purpose woodstove/ fireplace is also in the kitchen making all areas of the home comfortable year round.

The kitchen, while original, is also alongside a large mudroom and laundry allowing for a huge floor area to work with for potential redesign. This area also has direct undercover access to the garage as well as the large undercover outdoor entertaining area. The main bathroom inside the home is also generous in size while a second shower and toilet are located outside at the rear of the home and just a short distance from the guest cottage.

The three-bay workshop features two roller doors for vehicle accommodation, plus a third bay with workbenches, and has power and lighting connected as well as a concrete floor throughout. The guest cottage features a small kitchenette, bedroom and living area and would be ideal as a detached office or art studio.

This entire house and large residential land package boast enormous potential not only for those seeking a classic period masterpiece to call their next home but also for those savvy investors looking for a grand opportunity. With its large land size the property lends itself to subdivision potential (subject to council approval).
