Step back in time to the Roaring Twenties - the golden age of timber in Queensland where homes were characterised by wide verandas, polished pine flooring, leadlight windows & elevated positions to catch the cool afternoon breeze.
No expense has been spared in the restoration and extension of this 100 year old Queenslander and although it is appears straight out of the history books, features all of the modern day conveniences you would expect from a new home.
Working with the building and celebrating its heritage, this home is distinctively different and breaks the monotony of the master planned display homes commonly found on the Gold Coast.
