Built circa 1890 this majestic home has been a landmark of Toowoomba’s skyline for many years. Stunningly renovated with great attention to detail throughout, the current owners have been proud caretakers of their share of the property’s history.

Pedestrian access is through a separate front gate on Mackenzie street just above Toowoomba Grammar School making it a perfect entrance for potential business clients visiting the ground floor office. Plenty of on street parking is available on the frontage of the wide allotment.

Vehicle access to the property is via a remote controlled gate that leads through a tree lined driveway up to a double lock up remote controlled garage. The whole property is fully fenced making the front yard with its cottage style garden, tree shaded areas and children’s playground equipment a safe and inviting play area.

The main entrance to the house is via a wide set of steps that lead through a wraparound verandah festooned in ornate iron lace. Opening the front door with inlaid lead lighting reveals parquetry flooring and a warm, light filled entrance way to the stately formal dining room. This room features high ornate pressed metal ceilings and unique pressed metal walls. Three bedrooms radiate off this dining room as well a large glassed in section of verandah with beautiful honey coloured crows ash timber flooring and a perfect northern aspect to let in lots of natural light.

A formal lounge is situated between the kitchen and formal dining room and provides an intimate space with an ornate fireplace and impressive art deco style skylight.
On the southern side of the house is the family heart of the home with a practical second entranceway leading from the garage to a modern spacious kitchen, fifth bedroom and family room. In the kitchen, stainless steel appliances complement lavish stone benches and a splash back featuring designer tiles. Cupboard space is generous and a breakfast bar provides another informal meal area. The cork floored family room is reverse cycle air-conditioned and extra warmth is provided by either a wood heater or gas underfloor heating that is spread throughout the house. The leafy garden provides serene views to the whole southern side.

Just before going downstairs to the ground floor of the home is the magnificent main bathroom. Beautiful 2 pack joinery is used to great effect with floor to ceiling glossy porcelain tiles and a sumptuous marble vanity. A top of stairs storage room mirrors the bathroom’s look with more 2 pack cupboards.

The downstairs floor contains a large air-conditioned office perfect for a home business as it has its own separate entranceway and is easily shut off from the rest of the house. Polished timber flooring and French doors with garden views make this an impressive meeting room.

The main bedroom as well as the ensuite and walk in robe are all very generously sized. Again, polished timber flooring has been used to great effect and the ensuite is a marvellous renovation with frameless shower, ornate mirror and porcelain tiles.
This Toowoomba icon is truly one of a kind and represents a well matched mix of the old and the new with many, many unique features and meticulous renovations. Arrange an inspection soon to avoid disappointment.
