SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION | Grand Character Home with Guest House Steps to Waterfront
Estimated 1910 Circa, this lovingly preserved Character Queenslander stands proud maintaining the integrity and charm of the era.
A morning cuppa on the front porch sets the tone for the day soaking in the action of the esplanade as your eyes trace the glistening waters beyond.
Step through the front door and be mesmerised by the 3m plus high ceilings, the original polished timber floors, vj walls framed by the ornate fretwork and coloured glass windows.
The layout is typical in build with the centrally positioned living room surrounded by four bedrooms; the master has an ensuite and floor to ceiling wardrobes. The fourth bedroom boasts water glimpses and presently utilised as a working office. The journey continues through to the formal dining room accompanied by the gorgeous kitchen with gas cooktop and electric oven, plenty of storage and workspace. It is believed that the decorative tiles have travelled from Italy adding to that homely feel that exudes throughout the home. You will love the charming family bathroom with its brass fittings and claw foot bath. The heart of the home is the enormous rear deck where family gatherings are a regular occurrence. Retractable screens and blinds have been installed to complement all seasons – just perfect. The spacious external laundry on this level makes wash day a breeze.
The rear staircase to the lower level offers a wonderful workspace and storage for the working bee. It’s huge and perfect for sporting gear, kayaks, the dingy lives there, bikes for rides on the esplanade and trails – we can go on and on. Secure and easy with electronic gate access into remote double garage with clearance for a 4WD.
Let’s chat about the Guest House – it’s perfect for extended family or visitors offering independent living in a private setting with living dining kitchen combination, bedroom, ensuite and private deck that overlooks the tranquil garden.
The established trees provide a private and quiet setting incorporating the water feature and fire pit at the rear corner amongst the abundance of birdlife. Night lights amongst the trees adds to the charm with the Cubby House providing a magical playground for children to play.
Some of the features include ducted air conditioning in main house, fully reticulated irrigation system fed by two 5000l stainless steel rainwater tanks, instant gas hot water system, 10kW of quality solar panels feeding a 7.5kW Fronius inverter, 5KVA diesel generator back up, aircon in bedroom four and guest house.
The ability to instantly access the Esplanade was a huge plus for the family. Bike rides through to the Redlands, dog parks and social sporting clubs to name a few. A walk to the Wynnum shops and train transport complemented their passion for train travel to Brisbane City Arts and Theatre events. Being a Sailor, the great family interaction at the Yacht Squadron meant the entire family could participate. For the children growing up the direct trainline to school and Brisbane City removed the pressure of school travel. Wynnum itself has a wonderful selection of choice in dining and cafés and if you love shopping, Wynnum supports local with a wonderful selection of local arts, crafts, and designer clothing.
