A hallmark Toowoomba residence

100 years on and the elegance and opulance remains.

-

THIS period masterpiec­e is one of Toowoomba's hallmark residences – reflecting the grace and grandeur of the early 1900s era.

It became ‘family' to the current owners who, some 24 years ago, painstakin­gly restored and renovated it, and extended in true character to encompass extensive living areas and a total of six bedrooms.

Situated on a level 2084sq m block and privately nestled within beautifull­y establishe­d gardens, this magnificen­t residence blends traditiona­l detailing with contempora­ry living.

Beyond the front veranda, a stately hallway leads to a grand formal lounge and separate formal dining room.

Enjoy a quiet repose in the library/sitting room, or move out to the spacious family room, fabulous kitchen and covered outdoor entertaini­ng area.

Three of the six bedrooms (including the master suite) are on the ground level, together with the real bonus .... a guest/teenage wing complete with a games room, seventh bedroom and plumbed utility room. Upstairs, potential buyers will find three more bedrooms – all beckoning a large family.

The private northern garden caters for varied activities and incorporat­es a 13m x 8m in-ground salt-water pool, home sauna and a 6m x 3m shed.

You’ll soon fall in love with the 12' ceilings (3.7m), leadlight windows and polished hardwood floors, while the three fireplaces and reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioni­ng will keep the winter chills at bay.

Recently re-wired and re-plumbed (with three-phase power to the home and the shed), the property boasts a monitored security system, as well as a double carport and convenient off-street parking.

Perfectly positioned, the home is in walking distance to the CBD, East Toowoomba Schools, Queens Park, St Vincents Hospital and cafes.

The value of this address is indisputab­le and, 100 years on, you’ll instantly recognise and appreciate how the elegance and opulence remain.
