I have been selling Character homes in Ipswich for 8 years and this is by far the BEST restored Queenslander that I have had the pleasure of representing.
The quality of the workmanship and choices the Sellers have made over the years they have loved this home have been spot on.
The “Devil is in the Detail” is the perfect saying for this home with every inch of this home being magnificently renovated for example every light switch and power point has been replaced with new period correct bakelite and every single original window and door furnishing /hardware meticulously restored.
Then there is the most lovable landscaping you will find, with a rainforest walk down the right-hand side of the home which can be enjoyed from the 4th bedroom/ office that opens up to become a private verandah.
On the left-hand side is a driveway that provides rear yard access to a huge open lawn area that is completely private due to the perfectly placed established shrubs and trees that are around the perimeter of the yard.
This home will be perfect for a family but it is worth mentioning for investors that the property consists of two titles and Medium density zoning that supports the possibility of 6 dwellings being built on the 1214 square metres (subject to council approval).
It would be a travesty for the street, but the residence could be moved from the block.
The amount of sweat equity and man hours that have gone into this home is incredible and the location is just as good being within walking distance to major shops and the train station which is a direct line to Brisbane and Ipswich CBD’s.
Look at all these quality upgrades and features-
- Completely NEW Kitchen with Blum cabinets and hardware, soft close drawers, hand-made Spanish tiles splash back and the top of the range Technika fan forced 90cm oven and stove and gorgeous bamboo bench tops
- Completely new front Verandah with the decking replaced with New sustainable harvested Tallowwood, new railings, and new structural timbers
- Professionally painted inside and out
- New Stairs
- All original windows were meticulously restored with the exception of the new custom-made leadlight in the bathroom which compliment the era
- The roof has been replaced and the home sits on concrete and steel stumps
- Downstairs is a huge lockable storage area that is all concreted and can comfortably fit 4 cars
- All-new hideaway laundry.
- Original Claw foot bath restored of course.
- Study nook and walk-in robe in the master bedroom which could become a future small en-suite
- Split system Fujitsu 7 kw air conditioning
Built circa 1911 as part of the Watson Estate this home has stood the test of time and now presents like new.
