FEATURES: Rare opportunity to experience living in the original charm of an 1870's "Steep Pyramid Colonial Queenslander" on a selectively cleared near 4 Acre rural property and still be located within the fast-developing area. The home was relocated from Gympie to Greenbank in 2014, with full building and engineering certification upon completion. The homes history and provenance are available from research conducted by Gympie Library's Historian. The home was built by the area's settlers on a mining grant parcel of land during the gold rush at the time. The historical 150-year-old home was relocated to the block and subsequently completely structurally refurbished in 2014, without compromise to the original integrity or authenticity of the home. The house was constructed using native hardwood timbers. The eucalypt frames feature hand-cut mortise and tenon joints and are clad with Araucaria lining boards in a horizontal joint manner. Oblique bracing is checked into the vertical exposed mortised studs. The rear three lean-to rooms were rebuilt using conventional construction and lined internally with Araucaria, which was specially milled to match the original beaded tongue and groove profile. Original French doors were renovated, and had safety glass panels fitted to comply with council regulations. The home has been positioned well on the gently sloping selectively cleared block, to ensure distance from adjoining acreage properties, which enhances the homes full potential to retreat into the private rural atmosphere. The 11ft ceiling and 3 generous bedrooms with a large separate lounge room are typical of this era and command a stately atmosphere. Original French doors open off these rooms and the utility room onto the three-sided verandahs which are 2m wide, encompass the extra indoor/outdoor living space of the era. A beautifully renovated bathroom/laundry, complete with original claw bath are consistent with maintaining the all-important nostalgic charm of the home. The butterfly staircase that gains access to the upper level has a wow factor magnificence. The 2m width of the straight ascend of the staircase is a commanding statement. Quality hardwood kwela "Ladies waist" handrails cap the powder coated cast aluminium newels that are there for another life time! The ornate white balustrading was actually replicated from 1870's balustrades of the time. They require no maintenance and enhances the iconic heritage homes charisma beautifully. High ceilings, ceiling roses, above door fanlights, and wide verandahs carry through with their 150-year-old design job strategy well. Making life at home comfortable in the Australian climate. The home is highset, with all plans and engineers designs complete and available ready to build in the lower story, which emulates the original top story design, complete with 11ft ceiling heights allowed for. The second stage lower-level plans were submitted to council to seek approval for of the overall building height of 9.7m which was granted given the homes historical design significance. Given the homes historical attraction it would also serve extremely well with its business potential.... Wedding photography, B & B, or a magnificent stately 2 story private manor residence. Given the steep pyramid roof design, the internal centre roof space is 2.4 m high. With an attic roof re-truss, a 3rd story space could be achieved to create another area with a majestic view overlooking the large dam and rural outlook. Or the internal roof space could be utilised as a hobby room/storage area.
