If you’re looking to get into the niche market of Whitehill Road then this property is a must to inspect. Built around 1925 it was once owned by the Mc Taggart family who ran their renowned Major Produce Business in Ipswich. As you approach this beautiful property from Griffith Road, you cannot help but notice the enormous Morton Bay fig tree that line the quiet side street to the left of the property. This street was the old entrance way to the Cribb & Foote (of course another iconic Ipswich family business) Estate.
This home just oozes charm from its wide open front verandah with era style roll down timber blinds to its exquisite ornate plaster ceilings. The property consists of three bedrooms. The main bedroom is very large and is fitted with a built in robe and ceiling fans for your comfort during the warmer months. Along with an antique style light fitting both the fan and light have been fixed within beautiful ceiling roses and plaster pediment to preserve the colonial feel of this home. This is indicative of the entire home and the owners have gone to great lengths to preserve the historic and original beauty of this home. The other 2 bedrooms are of good size as would be expected from a period style home. One bedroom also features a built in robe, ceiling fan and French doors that open out to the sleep out/study area.

The feature of this room would have to be the magnificent Stained Glass and timber French Doors that open out on to the large rear deck. This fabulous area is where you can sit and entertain or just relax while watching the kids play in the cubby house in the yard. This area receives great shade fro
