A magnificent colonial residence, circa 1887 and once the home of Charles William Snow, a captain of the Royal Navy who built the home in West End for his family and to proclaim his status in the growing town of Brisbane, moved to its current peaceful location by the present owners and lovingly restored to her former glory. This residence sits gracefully amongst the flower beds of the 4,000sqm garden block and is enhanced by the lily lagoon, the chook run, the modern day 12M X 9M powered shed, and its location overlooking the parkland of the South Pine River.
