37 Waghorn Street

Ipswich QLD 4305

This home is a blessing. Since it was purchased 37+ years ago, it has grown with its family. What started in 1985 as a four-bedroom Queenslander in the centre of town, has now transformed into a well-established 'six bedroom', two bathroom home in the sought after Denmark Hill precinct. We're proud to present this once in a generation opportunity.

Sitting on a 566sqm block, this 260sqm double story home gives you everything you need with even more room to grow. While the period features are steeped in history, it's the space and the quality workmanship that really has stood the test of time.

WE'D LOVE YOU TO LEARN MUCH MORE ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

Externally constructed with weatherboard and corrugated iron, the internal features include VJ paneling, chandeliers in the formal dining and kitchen areas. The downstairs area has been improved over time.

While this house is solid and immaculately kept, the equal value is in the history and the family inside it. The Sellers have enjoyed this property for over 37 years and it was big enough to house Mum, Dad and their nine children. What stories the walls could tell! What's really striking is that when you walk in, the feel of family is all around you.

It's easy to underestimate the largeness of this home from the street. It looks like a 'cute home' from the street but when you walk in, you can see it was built big.

As the years have progressed, the home has been improved on but more importantly maintained. If something needed to be fixed, it was. The current owners quite rightly stated that if you leave maintenance issues go for too long, it gets away from you very quickly. That's why the home is in such good condition.

Another great feature is that this house presents a modern-day opportunity in 2022. As WFH (Work From Home) is the new way of the world, this home gives you the opportunity to live 'upstairs' and run your successful business downstairs. Your staff and clients will have their own private entry without getting in the way of your home life. The broad appeal continues.

- Opportunity for dual living
- A wonderful home for extended families
- Buyers with a passion for Ipswich homes steeped in history
- It has an X Factor that is hard to describe but easy to feel

THE HOME WITH HISTORY

After further research into its history, it's also been uncovered that previous owners, the Czislowki's, also had nine children. It's one of those houses that have been filled with love, laughter, tears and everything in between across many generations.

As a bonus, the current owners have the original title document from 1909. It lists all the previous owners and tells a wonderful story of the residents for over a century. We've researched the old newspaper articles and would be honoured to share what we've found.
