Built in 1909, “Crichton” is one of those rare and classic Queensland residences that holds the charm and stateliness of yesteryear secreted away behind a high surrounding fence. As you enter the very private, established gardens, perfect for evening soirees, you are drawn up the imposing staircase to the wide and welcoming verandah you cross the threshold into another era. “Crichton” has a presence – grand proportions, high ornate pressed metal ceilings, stained glass, beautiful polished timber floors, floor to ceiling French doors leading from the dining room complete with chandelier and generous enough to accommodate the largest gathering.

Stepping through to the large lounge area you are greeted by the mahogany mantle and black granite hearth surrounding the cast iron open fire place, new, yet in keeping with the traditional style and adding warmth to the overall ambience. Both rooms spill out through french doors onto the eastern verandah cooled by ceiling fans and overlooking the established garden.

There are 3 built-in bedrooms, the master featuring walk-in robe, twin vanity en suite and air conditioning. The fourth bedroom could double as an office/study or library. Two of the rooms open to the sunroom.

The bathrooms and kitchen have been refurbished and the kitchen, with ample storage, gas cook top and black granite bench tops can be opened to the outside world by bi fold windows bringing in the light and garden fragrances. The kitchen is complimented by a large adjoining informal family/dining area.
