Take in the historical grandeur of the home as you make your way up the stately front staircase and be transported back in time to the late 1800's. Formerly the home of James Foote, Ipswich's Mayor in 1870, the home was relocated, passionately preserved and raised to accommodate a more
functioning family home. All materials for the downstairs level were carefully sourced by the current owner to keep within the era, quality and style of the home.

Wrap around verandahs capture the cool summer breezes and mountain views. Admire the original features including; the elegant Iron lace work, original lead lighting, original Pine floors, VJ walls and ceilings, Australian Red Cedar features, 12-foot ceilings, French doors, large double hung sash and bay windows, ornate ceiling roses and era appropriate skirting and architraves.

Entering through the historical front door of this grand home, you are greeted with central original cedar features with lead light doors and side panels along the hallway, to the left a large formal lounge / bedroom with a complimenting bay window. The very wide corridor combined with its height gives an immediate sense of grandeur as you make your way into the formal dining room across the hall, capable of seating 12 plus people comfortably.

The spacious master bedroom with period correct ensuite has views of Mount Glorious in the distance. Awaiting the family cook is the light-filled modern eat-in kitchen with Caesarstone benchtops, dishwasher, a traditional Butler's sink and a large country cooker.

The impressive Cedar staircase leads to the lower level consisting of a second living area/rumpus room, study nook, two resplendent sizeable bedrooms, a spacious main bathroom with clawfoot bath and shower, a separate powder room and separate laundry/sewing room all with the appeal of the entry level. With some imagination, there is scope to add another bedroom or two for the larger family needs.
