I have lived in Ipswich all of my life and there are many beautiful homes here but this home has always been a standout property that locals and visitors alike have constantly admired.

With an impressive street presence indicative of the Victorian Era you will be greeted by a large front gable, ornate fretwork, stunning original Victorian Cast Iron balustrades and wide exterior weather boards.

Originally built by a well-respected local doctor in the 1870's (150 years ago) this home consisted of a large front residence with three massive bedrooms, a large Parlour room with French doors, a generously sized kitchen and both front and rear verandahs.

It is unknown if the original servants quarters were built at the same time as the main home but judging by the size of the V J boards and floor boards they are reflective of the Victorian era so I would agree they too are 150 years old.

The servants quarters originally consisted of a large kitchen (the pink room) with a wood fire stove recess to the rear which is still in place, at some stage the stove was removed and a small shower was added which could be easily removed.

Adjoining the original servants kitchen was the servants sleeping quarters which is now included on the floor plan as the fourth bedroom of the home.

The master bedroom is an impressive size and features large thick skirting boards as well as a massive bay window with double sash windows to allow maximum entry for light.

Coloured glass is featured in the French Doors that open from the Parlour room and a faux fire place was added in the late 1950's to early 1960's.

At an unknown time a large extension to the rear of the home was built by the current owners father which could fit 5 cars under cover with a bit of imagination and widening of the external entry.

This massive space has been used for many a Christmas gathering, 21st and engagement party over the years as the family raised their 8 children here.

Adjoining this space is a separate and enclosed room that was used as a home office and the second bathroom of the home is also accessed from this space.

Outside this home continues to excite with a large and useable flat block of land with side yard access offering plenty of space for a large shed or pool.

The savvy buyer will soon note the home sits on a cement stumps which is a massive bonus and the main roof seems in great condition for its age.

Whilst this home is a renovators dream it will take a true enthusiast to appreciate the rarity and significance of this home to the Ipswich Community and we hope once it is returned to its former Glory that it will once again take its place as one of Ipswich's most recognisable and desired homes.

With renovated period homes in the suburb and area pushing over $1.1 Million and beyond, there is plenty of scope to create your dream home and not over capitalise.

This location is what we refer to as "Blue Chip", it is elevated, close to Ipswich CBD, within walking distance to Blair State School and the prestigious Ipswich Boys Grammar School plus St Edmunds College and St Mary's College are also only a short walk away.

Ipswich is becoming the place to live and invest and it makes sense, with a location only 45 minutes from Brisbane and at a fraction of the price we can see true value and future growth in this great City.
