Originally named ‘Red Dawn’ this gracious residence has been a cherished family home from its beginnings in the 1920’s to the present day. Occupying 1161m2 of beautifully lush grounds trimmed with established shade trees this property is located on a wide and leafy street in a tightly held enclave. The promise of a quiet lifestyle is on offer here, with cafes, restaurants and shopping options in Corinda’s village precinct in easy reach. An early example of the popular Californian Bungalow style, this property is adorned with rainforest and local milled timbers, with hallmark casement windows, high ceilings and traditional features evident throughout. Four bedrooms and a series of living areas grace the floorplan here, including a spacious formal lounge embraced by two bay windows each with seating on three sides. Built for WWI veteran Jack Lahey from the finest timbers that the Lahey sawmilling business could obtain, this is just one of a number of houses in the immediate area constructed for the family. Jack’s father David started a sawmill in 1910 with his sons, and supplied materials for a number of Brisbane’s early “Dreadnought” trams and the vehicle ferry that linked Chelmer to Indooroopilly prior to the construction of the Walter Taylor Bridge. A much loved home for current owners for over 50 years and witness to a multitude of special celebrations including a family wedding and a 60th wedding anniversary party, this is where your family’s precious new memories are waiting to be made. • 1920’s built Californian Bungalow with stunning original features • Local and rainforest mill timbers throughout including teak panelled walls with walnut surrounds and VJ walls • White timber panelled ceilings with horsehair plaster • Original floorboards – 2” rosewood at the front of the home and 6” pine in the kitchen • Four living areas including casual family room at rear and large retreat on the upper level • Spacious formal lounge has two large bay windows with built-in window seats on three sides • Kitchen with huge two-way built-in buffet to dining room • French doors from lounge and dining rooms to sunroom • Four bedrooms, main bedroom with built-in robes • Bathroom with toilet and shower over bath plus separate powder room • Side access to single bay timber shed • Brick tiled patio areas for alfresco dining and entertaining • Huge fully-fenced 1161m2 allotment with pathways, manicured gardens and established shade trees • Recent upgrades: house re-levelling with adjustable stumps, new decks, stairs and fencing, new Vulcan HWS Enjoy the ideal combination of quiet easy living with supreme convenience in this marvellous location.
