Straight out of the pages of a home magazine, this late 1800’s home has painstakingly been brought back to its former glory. And I’m not talking about those homes bought last year, renovated, then back on the market 6 months later. This home has taken the owners 7 years to complete and it shows. Every detail has been taken care of.
From the moment you walk in the door, it feels like home. It has 3 large bedrooms with the master having an Ensuite. Both of the bedrooms at the front of the house open up via the French doors onto the verandah. The bathroom is stunning, complete with clawfoot bath.
This home is perfect for the entertainer with its open plan lounge/dining /kitchen. A stunning undercover rear deck entertainment area overlooking the fully landscaped backyard, with views to the historical Railway Workshops Museum….. and speaking of the Railway Workshops, there is a huge cupboard downstairs which is from there and it is going with the house, not only because the owners are super generous, but mainly because it’s too big to move. 😉
Under the house is all the usually under the house stuff with car accommodation and a carport that have been designed with caravans in mind.
Those of you who have been following the market would know Woodend is one of the most sought after suburbs, not only in Ipswich but the whole of Queensland. Mostly due to the amazing quality heritage homes we have and this is one of the best. This home, down the road in Brisbane, would easily fetch up near a million dollars, and Ipswich is a much better place. Save 100’s of thousands of dollars and live in an amazing city. This home has always been totally flood-free except for the flood of enquiries that will no doubt be flooding in as you are reading this.
Home comes with original working 1800’s front door key which is great for impressing your friends when they see the giant key dangling from your keyring, maybe not so convenient putting in your tiny jeans pockets.
If you’re thinking of rocking up to checkout this property on your horse and cart, I warn you, on 2 separate occasions in the 1930’s and 1920’s, horses were spooked and took the bolt up the street and ran back into town. Just giving you the heads up 😉 (source: The Queensland Times)
