Wanstead was originally built in 1889 by William Oswald Hodgkinson facing the Brisbane River in Toowong and was then named ‘Bittal’. After a series of different well to do owners and subsequent name changes, the home was relocated to Red Cedar Estate of Pullenvale to this superb 2.5acre allotment at 20 Lilly Pilly Road, Pullenvale where its last name given by Andrew Barlow in 1899 (Bank Official who became M.S.A for Ipswich in 1888) was retained.

Wanstead is superbly proportioned with outstanding cedar joinery, original marble fireplace, wide verandahs, detailed cast iron railings and timber fretwork with the original glass largely retained. The house has been carefully restored and maintained to the highest standards with wide open spaces around it in keeping with the original style and graciousness of this magnificent residence.

This amazing historical property has been afforded all the modern convenience of the classic 4 bedroom plus study 3 bathroom home (2 en-suites). The stunning marble kitchen in keeping with the original marble dual sided fireplace which is perfect for the casual and formal entertaining rooms. Very high 12 feet ceilings and large rooms, bedrooms and of course decks are amazing features of this spacious home.

You’ll love the large flat front yard perfect off the decks to watch the kids and family play especially for those large family get togethers! Not to forget about the pool area, secluded yet easily seen from the decking at which you’ll spend allot of time on given it’s just off the kitchen/family area.

Very quiet neighbourhood, you can just listen to the birds if that’s your delight or enjoy the property and all it offers! This is a one off original seldom seen in this superb condition and available now for you and your family. Don’t miss it! Contact Scott Edwards to inspect.
