Built in 1910, historic 'Rene House' is a rare gem, having had only two custodians, the first being workers from Queensland's oldest coal mining communities.

Situated on an expansive 1,467m2* block, this grand home has plenty of land to landscape. Whether tending to the original rose bushes or planting a veggie garden out back, the possibilities are endless.

Its butterfly staircase commands attention, and the L-shaped verandah is perfect for sipping a cool lemonade on a hot summers day. The front door oozes vintage charm with decorative strawberry-coloured glass panelling and amber and blue side lights. Step inside and discover original VJ walls, timber ceilings, polished floorboards, casement windows and french doors; it's a renovators dream.

The lounge opens onto the verandah, and the dining room connects the kitchen and third bedroom (or office). The large kitchen has been refurbished with plenty of cupboard space and a butler's pantry.
