“"Holmwood" (circa 1889) - stunning colonial home! - OPEN HOME CANCELLED 4TH JUN DUE WEATHER”
This stunning Queenslander was built on the banks of the River in East Brisbane (circa 1889). This was a much loved home of the Anthon family for many years but sadly the position was designated for development.
"Holmwood" was relocated to Tamborine Mountain in 2004 and lovingly restored, with new roof, plumbing and electrical wiring.
The home has been raised and engineered to allow further development under.
You will have a massive area to create more bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas. The high visibility position on Macdonnell Road lends itself to create work from home rooms or offices which will include space for up to 6 undercover car parks.
A thick manicured hedge at the front of the home gives quiet, privacy. The views through the tree to Border Ranges and Cunningham Gap will reveal beautiful sunsets and dramatic storms from the west.
Lovers of Queenslanders will be delighted with the original features that this home has to offer. Grand butterfly stairs invite you to the front door with elegant lead-light surrounds. Traditional 6 inch hoop pine floors run the length of the home and wonderful wide VJ walls and ceilings with beading attest to the vintage of this home. The central hall is divided by a beautifully constructed archway.
The magnificent lounge room at the front boasts a bay window with fabulous floor length sash windows. Through the decorative arch is the dining room with a traditional fire place with beautiful timber surrounds and to the side another bay window and window box for fire wood.
There is a large modern kitchen/dining room with gas cook-top, electric oven and stainless steel range hood. A reverse cycle Daikin inverter air-conditioner to each room will keep you cool through the steamy summer months and warm and cosy in winter.
Three spacious bedrooms are off the central hall, the master bedroom has an ensuite and built-in wardrobes. This bedroom opens to the front veranda via a floor length sash window. The second and third bedrooms open to the enclosed side veranda and ideal play room or a study area. Another room opening from the front veranda would make an ideal office.
You will be on 1,012 M2 of flat usable land. This property offers the first home buyer, growing family or investor a wonderful opportunity to purchase a home with history on beautiful Tamborine Mountain.
