Perfect for hosting memorable gatherings, this property boasts features tailored for entertaining guests.
Welcome to 'Kerong Cottage' at 98 Fitzroy Street Warwick, this is an historic sandstone home built in 1867 by Matthew Longwall, Architect and Stonemason of the magnificent Warwick Town Hall, as his own family residence for 50 years.This stunning property is a true gem, boasting a rich history and a plethora of desirable features. The remarkable timber section of this home which was built first in 1857 is testament to how they built back then. Featuring locally hewn sandstone, local cedar doors, architraves and windows (double hung), high pressed metal ceiling and ceiling roses, the home has wonderful ambience with internal sandstone walls, claw foot bath, three working open fireplaces, wood heater and wood stove in the kitchen from Waterford, Ireland (complementing the electric oven and hot plates). With its dual street frontage and vehicle access from both frontages, this versatile property could also suit professional offices, and for several years operated as a successful bed and breakfast, popular with overseas and interstate visitors wanting to touch the Australian heritage. Whilst there is no national listing affecting the property, understandably, this true architectural Victorian home is on Southern Downs Council register of places of Significant Interest to protect the facade. The front bullnose verandah paved with flagstone has a sunny northerly aspect and is decorated with wrought iron balustrade, matching the wrought iron window hood features. Featuring four bedrooms plus library/fifth bedroom and two bathrooms, two toilets this home is bright and airy and welcomes family and guests. In addition to its practicality, this house also boasts a range of other features that add to its appeal. From the beautiful architecture and hardwood flooring to the cosy living room and dining area, every corner of this house exudes warmth and comfort. The interior design is tastefully done, with elegant furniture, chandeliers, and rugs that enhance the overall ambiance. The outdoor area is equally impressive, with a charming patio, pergola, and walkways that lead to lush green grass and vibrant plants. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon, the outdoor space is perfect for relaxation and entertainment. Sandstone construction, internal walls as well, high ceilings and breeze flow design ensure the home is cool in summer and holds the warmth in winter. Triple bay rear garage/workshop/carport has concrete floor and abundant power points and lights - fabulous studio/entertainment room potential. Two Street access makes for full use of the block. The home has recently had a new Colorbond roof installed, complete with industrial box gutter. The owner also snatched the opportunity to have the superior chemical injection damp course treatment done, available briefly during Covid govt building construction lockdown, "ready for the next 150 years". Ready now to re-render the completed work. Ensuite bathroom needs some repair to the floor and lifting tiles. Health, and retirement, have prompted the lady owner to move close to family in Victoria. Located in a desirable neighbourhood, this property offers easy access to the city and its amenities. You'll find yourself within close proximity to shops, restaurants, and schools, making it an ideal location for families.
