26 Lamington Avenue, Ascot QLD 4007

Sometimes when you walk into a home it has enough charm and grace to make your hairs stand on end and 26 Lamington Avenue is such a home. It has been lovingly updated & renovated by its current owners with most of the sought after pre-war features still remaining and in extraordinary condition. We fell in love with the stunning fretwork above every doorway, the light roses and stunning dark timber flooring throughout.
