Beautifully restored and restyled, “Wonga Villa” is a charming authentic Colonial Queenslander offering an enviable custom lifestyle. The fusion of original heritage features so meticulously preserved create a rich tapestry of discerning style and comfort.
Believed to date back to the early 1900′s, today it is one of the noted grand residences, for which Clayfield has become synonymous.
Paying respect to the original integrity, the gracious character has been maintained throughout with superb features including three working fireplaces, gleaming timber floors, high ceilings and even light fittings and fixtures sympathetic to the era.
On a practical level, the home has been a much enjoyed family residence, where the seven bedrooms and three bathrooms comfortably accommodated a busy family of five children.
Outdoor living options are numerous, from the wrap-around verandahs at the front, to the expansive covered alfresco living spilling onto the huge deck and family-friendly flat backyard.
The upper level features three substantial bedrooms, while the rumpus/teenager’s retreat, with fully self-contained kitchen is found on the lower level. There is space, both quiet and social, for the whole family to spread out and enjoy.
The convenience of being close to Air Train, City Train, bus and large shopping centres make for a great location, as does the close proximity to some of the state’s best public and private primary and secondary schools, many within easy walking distance.
Quite simply, this home is a superb example of the very finest of Queensland architecture, with beauty which can never be replicated. It is now ready to enter a new chapter of its history. Our empty nesters are ready to move and this gorgeous home will definitely be sold on or before auction!
