Why compromise when you can have all the charm and beauty of yesteryear without the creaks and groans of an old home? This magnificent reproduction Queenslander is easily mistaken for the real McCoy and combines modern building standards with cedar and oak joinery, fretwork, custom milled internal timber linings and soaring 3m ceilings with period plaster cornices. Nestled off the road for complete seclusion and privacy – it’s only when you meander up the driveway between the lush gardens that the beauty of this fine family home becomes apparent. A decadent, wrap around verandah is trimmed with ornate metal latticework and wide hardwood stairs ascend you to the batwing doors. The classic front door boasts side and overhead panels decorated with a leadlight rose feature to accentuate the title of this charming homestead. The layout was based on the floorplan and childhood memories from their old home in Oxley.
Beyond the entrance is a voluminous, romantic hall featuring wide hoop pine floors which leads to a formal lounge/ library and the formal dining room – which in turn flow effortlessly to the magnificent wide wrap around verandah with lattice to maximise privacy without blocking the beautiful cool summer breezes. There are also three large bedrooms upstairs, the master suite with separate ensuite and walk-in-robe. Continue down the hall through an original cedar archway you will find the newly air conditioned open plan living/ dining/ kitchen area. The kitchen boasts lavish, thick granite tops, dishwasher, pantry and an abundance of cupboards with feature lighting. The double hung windows over the dual bowl sink work efficiently as a servery out to the deck just perfect for dining or large parties.
There is a separate designated home office accessible from the deck for added utility.
Downstairs offers self contained living options with a separate lounge/ TV room with kitchen facilities. Two more massive bedrooms, an abundance of storage solutions, a separate bathroom, toilet and huge laundry are spread over the lower level. There is undercover space for four cars PLUS room for a boat and/ or trailer.
The homestead sits on 978m and is surrounded by easy care, low maintenance gardens which are serviced by a separate water tank. The front yard offers a perfect grassy platform for kids to play alongside the winding concrete driveway or provides the perfect place for a cool drink under the shady canopy.
