Over the last century many have admired this elegant home from afar and now its time to hand ownership to another. Built in 1883, Torquay is classical of Queensland homes built around Sandgate. The enormity and magnitude of this home is rarely available to purchase and now this waterfront property is For Sale by Tender.

Currently listed on the Heritage Register, this grand old lady was restored many years ago by its current owners and returned to its original features. In 1988 they were awarded the John Herbert Award for Excellence in Heritage Conservation, a credit to their restorative work.

Timeless in appearance, Torquays features are evident as you enter the home and take in the wide hallway with decorative arch.

The large master bedroom features a walk-through robe and en-suite. Two additional bedrooms, both large in size, open out to their own private deck. The lounge room boasts an open fireplace and the large separate dining room flows out to the side verandah. The generous kitchen has its own walk-in pantry and is large enough to house a dining table. A bonus of an additional room off the kitchen was formally used as a nursery but could double as a study. Off the rear deck is yet another room, which is ample enough in size to be used as an additional bedroom or study.

The outdoor areas have their own unique features including a bomb shelter, previously used as a smoke house. The external laundry and two car tandem garage hug the back leafy yard and when you venture back to the front of the home, the wide open spaces of Bramble Bay await you. The180 water views go on forever across to Moreton Island and watching the sunset and sunrises from this wondrous site will provide year round pleasure. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of something special. Call today to organise your viewing and take a step back in time today.
