96 Clewley Street, Corinda QLD 4075

Originally named ‘Red Dawn’ this gracious residence has been a cherished family home from its beginnings in the 1920’s to the present day. Occupying 1161m2 of beautifully lush grounds trimmed with established shade trees this property is located on a wide and leafy street in a tightly held enclave. The promise of a quiet lifestyle is on offer here, with cafes, restaurants and shopping options in Corinda’s village precinct in easy reach.

An early example of the popular Californian Bungalow style, this property is adorned with rainforest and local milled timbers, with hallmark casement windows, high ceilings and traditional features evident throughout. Four bedrooms and a series of living areas grace the floorplan here, including a spacious formal lounge embraced by two bay windows each with seating on three sides.

Built for WWI veteran Jack Lahey from the finest timbers that the Lahey sawmilling business could obtain, this is just one of a number of houses in the immediate area constructed for the family. Jack’s father David started a sawmill in 1910 with his sons, and supplied materials for a number of Brisbane’s early “Dreadnought” trams and the vehicle ferry that linked Chelmer to Indooroopilly prior to the construction of the Walter Taylor Bridge.

A much loved home for current owners for over 50 years and witness to a multitude of special celebrations including a family wedding and a 60th wedding anniversary party, this is where your family’s precious new memories are waiting to be made.
