VIEWS FOREVER!

A Grand Residence steeped in history and constructed from the finest local and overseas materials available at the time; Wahroonga awaits the love of its next occupants. Rambling and intriguing, Wahroonga sits well back in its own grounds with an aura of calm repose. 

This impressive residence stands tall amongst manicured botanic and sub-tropical gardens on a substantial 1239sqm with a superb elevated northerly position in prestigious Yeerongpilly and is within walking distance to all amenities, including prominent schools, shops, cafes, bus, and rail.

One of Brisbane's landmark residences, this property is being offered for sale now for just the second time in its history over the last 100 years! Wahroonga is an Aboriginal word meaning our home and it is believed to derived from the Ku-ring-gai language group. The home was designed by architect D.K.Paine as a family homestead for his brother and had remained within the same family until the current owners purchased the property as their family home in 1996. Since then, it was selected to feature in a number of television episodes in the series Harrow. 

The original property had extensive grounds and even today, it boasts approx. 49 perches (1239 sqm, - frontage 27.80 m, depth 44.25 m), of established trees and manicured gardens. Construction of this early Federation Colonial commenced in 1915 and works were subsequently completed in 1916. With imported materials such as English oak joinery and panelling not to mention Terracotta roof tiles from France. The home with its steeply pitched roof ensuring continuous ventilation became quite a showpiece and popular landmark over the years. Local hardwood, hoop pine V.J.'s and floorboards were used extensively throughout the home. Some minor changes were made over the years by the original owners, however, to cater for the growing needs of the current family and sympathetic to the architecture, this residence has been updated with the modern family in mind and with the luxury of original photographs of the property at various stages of construction to assist and guide the owners with their improvements.

The original entrance at the front of the property had been changed many years back to the left side for convenience and to help create a more amenable floor plan. This entrance is now welcoming with a tiled terrace, before entering the home and into a cool 3m wide veranda made private with restored timber blinds for privacy and wrought iron panels for security. This usable space is versatile, subtle, and modulated. A generous formal living and separated family room feature beautiful rich English Oak panelling from the floor up to the level of the plate rail and exposed Oak beams overhead. Between the now family room and new luxurious kitchen with feature gas range and abundance of cabinetry, there is the original brick fireplace. Every room exudes spaciousness, and the dining area is a family favourite, as it connects to the kitchen and extensive covered rear deck; a wonderful place to relax or entertain friends and enjoy its sizable inground pool made private through strategic hedging and plantings. 

In 1960, plans were drawn up, and construction completed for an extension to the original maid's quarters incorporated at the rear of the home, to provide self-contained accommodation. In recent renovations, this area was transformed and now affords the home two sizable bedrooms with built-in robes, family bathroom and separate toilet. In addition to this on the same level, the home provides four more bedrooms, with a 6m long main bedroom suite providing dual wardrobes and large ensuite. An oak stairway leads you down into a converted rumpus able to support overnight guests, separate shower and toilet, laundry, and storeroom before leading through to an enormous garage and workshop area. There is an additional separate remote door garage positioned on the right-hand side of the home. 

Children will love playing in the fort and run safely and freely with expansive lawns and fencing surrounding this family residence.

With its excellent address and northerly aspect, Wahroonga is one of the several notable early federation colonials of Brisbane. It is within a short stroll to the train station and bus stop. Local shops, schools, kindergartens, and churches, popular gyms and craft breweries are within walking distance. Queensland State Tennis Centre and new Yeerongpilly Green development including Woolworths can be accessed over a covered bridge and is only a close 10-minute walk away and is Yeronga recreational park and pool in the opposite direction heading North.

A century old home: Wahroonga is sure to attract hundreds of potential buyers and is an opportunity not to be missed.

A second laundry is available in the carport to assist. The owners were mindful of the quiet street and their friendly neighbours so privacy was paramount to the convenience and the home needed to be able to appeal to all aged families. 

The rear deck that is wonderfully large and perfect for entertaining, spills out to courtyard garden areas and lawn and overlooks a fantastic inground salt-water pool which features surrounding timber decking. Large volumes of storage space are available under the home with a purpose-built workshop and a garden shed. The roof cavity has been insulated and the property has a 5,000L water harvesting tank and pump perfect to refill the pool and water the gardens over summer.
