16 York Street, East Ipswich QLD 4305

If you love quality, history and features then you will appreciate this fine example of early 1900’s architecture located in one of the most prestigious locations in Ipswich. The home was designed by renowned Ipswich architect Brockwell Gill. Mr Gill’s homes are largely considered to be timeless, unique one-off masterpieces that only improve with age.

The layout of the home is unique and offers great flexibility in terms of how you use each room. With a choice of two separate livings rooms, three bedrooms and separate dining room – the home can be configured to suit your needs. Most of the rooms open to the deep front and side verandahs.

Quality and features abound in this property. Irreplaceable stunning leadlight internal and external French doors and windows, open fire place, decorative timber arches, door surrounds and fretwork. The property remains largely unchanged from the day it was built by master craftsmen of the time.

The home sits on massive solid piers, the construction is double brick, windows are supported by large stone lintels. The original terracotta tiles line the roof. The bay window off the main living room is perfect for catching the sun on a chilly winter’s afternoon, without venturing outdoors.

Updates have been made to the kitchen to incorporate the original scullery maids quarters. The family bathroom is in character with clawfoot bath. The addition of the large rear covered deck caters for all your alfresco dining needs.

Downstairs is fully enclosed and useable and perfect for entertaining or working out. This flexible and secure area contains a spa, perfect for a soak after working out in your gym next door. Or use the space for more leisurely pursuits with a bar and and eating area overlooking your rear garden. There is also a powered double garage and single carport.

The spacious 926m2 block is located on tree-lined York Street surrounded by stunning character homes on large blocks. This location is sought-after and within walking distance to Ipswich Girls Grammar School.

The current owners feel privileged to have been the custodians of this piece of Ipswich history for over a decade. However, with overseas commitments calling, this is your opportunity to make this stunning property your own.
