Alternatively, this massive family home will house one very large family with three (3) bedrooms and one (1) bathroom on the upper level of the home as well an additional one (1) bedroom and one (1) bathroom on the lower level of the home. This huge and majestic family home was originally built in 1908 and was owned by the iconic Rawlings family. In 1985, it was raised thereby adding the giant second level of living and entertaining. This a beautiful example of Queensland colonial architecture. The original section of the home boasts incredible polished timber floors and timber fretwork as well as gorgeous pressed metal ceilings to the family room or dining area of the home.

It also overlooks and opens out on the massive rear deck that has remote controlled privacy blinds and external stairs down to the huge fully powered shed, free standing gazebo, an oversized storage shed and the giant 1,123m2 block. Internal stairs lead you down to the gigantic lower level of the home where you will find a humungous rumpus room and your very own pool table and built-in bar. This area could also be utilised as the ultimate media room, teenagers retreat or man cave. There is a large air conditioned bedroom, an adjoining bathroom and a bonus kitchenette making this lower level fully self-contained and perfect for elderly parents or adult children. There is also access to additional covered entertainment space as well as a totally separate study at the front of the home for anyone wanting to run a home-based business. This area is truly big enough to house a second family! Just like the house, the block is a huge 1,123m2 with an extra wide fully concreted driveway down to the 8 metre deep x 7 metre wide double garage. This means you already have the space to park two (2) cars and enough room to park additional cars, the largest boat, caravan, a motor home or a fleet of work vehicles or store plant and equipment.
