This stunning 1926 triple gable Queenslander has undergone an extensive transformation including a complete renovation of the existing home plus an extension to accommodate a growing family.
Beyond the perfect white picket fence a dual staircase leads from the garden up to the front verandah and entry to the home, where you are greeted by the beauty of federation stained glass door surrounds, and porthole window. Once inside you can’t help but appreciate the meticulous renovation of the original features which include VJ’s, picture rails, ornate cornicing, and polished floorboards.
The large entry area leads through to a light and airy formal lounge and dining area which are divided by a federation pedestal archway. Two of the five bedrooms lead off the lounge, one of them exceptionally large in size having been the original master bedroom. A beautiful country timber kitchen adjoins the dining area and contains ample cupboard space and a large island bench with breakfast bar. The bathroom on this level features a timber vanity, Victorian toilet and colonial floor tiling. Three sets of French doors lead from the upstairs living areas out onto the 17 metre long verandah, perfect for entertaining and capturing cool breezes. Soft earthy tones compliment the 10ft ceilings throughout the upper level which give the home a grand spacious feel and air conditioning has also been fitted for total comfort.
Timber stairs lead from the kitchen area down to the lower level of the home which has a more modern appearance, blending the old with the new just beautifully. This level is also air conditioned, has 9½ ft ceilings and features living areas that are tiled whilst the remaining three bedrooms are carpeted. The main bedroom has a large walk in robe and access to the modern two way bathroom with double vanities. The laundry is also located on this level and boasts plenty of cupboard space and easy access to the backyard. To keep the man of the house happy, a large timber bar occupies a corner in the living area with plenty of room for a pool table.
The grounds of this beautiful home are just as glorious with a Mediterranean style fountain as you enter the property. Paved areas allow for even more entertaining space on this level and the in-ground pool features a cascading waterfall and shallow seated area. Immaculate gardens and lawns finish this picture perfectly and are easy to maintain with the 5000 litre water tank.
