'Wahgunyah' stands as a timeless testament to an era of elegance and craftsmanship. A period Colonial with a sub-tropical style, its rooms flow onto deep, shaded verandahs, embracing the landscape. Positioned at the highest point of the property, well above the river, this remarkable home was built during a time of prosperity.
Its enduring grandeur is reflected in its exquisite features: two fireplaces, expansive verandahs, a separate kitchen wing, soaring 3.2-metre ceilings, a bay window, Burnside cast-iron balustrading, intricate architraves, door vents, and delicate ceiling roses. The tennis court fronting Honour Avenue is a more recent addition, continuing a tradition dating back to an earlier court to the north, where post-war homes now stand.
A sweeping driveway welcomes you to this distinguished Victorian-era residence. The beautifully maintained grounds, inground pool, and tennis court lead to the wide verandah and the stately six-panel front door. Inside, original period details captivate—soaring pine VJs, refined picture rails, elegant archways, and wide Hoop Pine flooring. This home tells a story of timeless architectural charm blended with modern comforts. The formal dining and living areas exude warmth, with a cast-iron fireplace framed by an exquisite marble surround.
Designed for refined living and relaxed entertaining, the upper level comprises three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The classic kitchen adjoins a sunlit breakfast area, while a home office offers a quiet retreat. The expansive side verandah provides a perfect setting for entertaining, inviting gentle breezes and tranquil views.
The lower level enhances the home’s versatility, offering an additional bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and a spacious rumpus room. Extensive storage, a workshop space, and additional amenities ensure practicality without compromising character.
Positioned in the prestigious high-side enclave of Chelmer, this exquisite residence showcases premium appointments and is surrounded by distinguished homes. Just moments from Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, vibrant village caf&aecute;s, restaurants, wine bars, boutique cinemas, sporting clubs, and scenic parklands, it offers the perfect blend of convenience and lifestyle. With excellent access to top schools, universities, and public transport, commuting is effortless. Additionally, Brisbane’s CBD is only 8km away, ensuring quick and convenient access to the city’s heart.
