Last Listing description (March 2020)
In 1908 this genuine Queenslander was built on the 7th hole of the old Chelmer golf course, originally facing East with grounds spanning from Little Lama St to Honour Ave. Over time the acreage was subdivided and in circa 1995, the home was raised and rotated to face Twickenham St.
In 2010, landscaped gardens and a swimming pool was added. Then in 2014, a major renovation took place covering all wet areas, electrical, new insulated roof, rear deck, Hampton's kitchen with butler's pantry, flooring upstairs and down, and ducted air con was installed.
