Proudly situated on its 890sqm allotment, this gabled Queenslander, framed by welcoming greenery, invites you to come and feel at home. Blanketed under a canopy of native growth offering privacy to the home’s residents, this long-term family dwelling delivers a kind of relaxed quietness well-suited to the ebb and flow of busy lives. The house was built around 1926 with solid foundations providing the necessary structure of the home, yet also the opportunity to remodel or restyle to make this home truly your own. Elegantly proportioned and understated, this suburban family home is in the prestigious and respected suburb of Yeerongpilly, amongst other signature character residences.
The sense of home is projected from the onset where the elevated built-in sunroom draws one in and is accessed from a small veranda. Behind the original leadlight front door, this space flows through into a generous living room and complete with the original porthole leadlight windowed entry sitting at its side and utilized now as a small study. The sunroom appreciates receiving the Northern midday sun in Winter and the cool prevailing breezes through Summer. This great aspect is taken advantage of by the combination of easy to open casement windows which also bare the original arc latches dated 16th February 1926. The off-white internal VJ lined walls soar 3 metres high and are timeless and there is a mix of original Hoop pine polished floorboards and unfinished hardwood to work with should you choose. This Queenslander has three full bedrooms, a full-length side sleepout, one bathroom and two toilets upstairs, including the main bedroom sporting a built-in bay window with blanket box and wardrobe. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and cabinets that will stay with the home. The living room continues through to formal dining room with original 15 light sliding French doors that can remain open or closed. An original kitchen offers gas cooking, some period cabinetry and breakfast bar. The home has been fitted with many air-conditioners, ceiling fans and multiple skylights. An extensive rear deck perfect for entertaining in privacy due to it being built-in with slats and looking out to the rear lush greenery lining the backyard. One would think a great place for a lazy Sunday afternoon nap!
The dwelling sits on an expansive 890sqm allotment with Cr2 zoning, towards the crest of the hill with views. It features an iron roof with a whirley bird and skylights, and the external walls being hardwood weatherboard. The house has a combination of steel, concrete and timber stumps which have passed the test of time and underneath the house you will find an abundance of functional and usable workshop and storage areas including the laundry. The backyard is home to an abundance of advanced greenery and signature trees including a jacaranda, palms, and frangipani trees. The vast backyard yearns for a pool, sustainable vegetable garden or a trampoline to keep the family entertained.
