CHARACTER QUEENSLANDER ‘ROYSTON’ ON 810SQM (2 LOTS)
With the same custodians over the last forty-seven years, this 110-year-old property has been lovingly cared for, renovated and maintained so that the next family can continue to enjoy its grandeur for the years to come. Perched on an elevated yet flat 810 sqm double block, this Craftsman Queenslander has scenic, leafy views out the Southern side of the building and is surrounded by the privacy of a mature and much-loved garden.
Looking at the front entrance, the bungalow-style roofline has a gable pediment at the top, which welcomes you onto the vast front deck so perfectly typical of the dream of owning a Queenslander. The front door opens onto a wide hallway which branches off into the master bedroom with a bay-window and ensuite, as well as a second large bedroom which has been recently used as an office.
Into the centre of the home is a sitting room with additional area from a previous sleepout, making this room feel bright and airy, but also cosy for an evening of cards or chatter at a party. The two last bedrooms are near the rear of the home with a family bathroom and private hallway connecting through to the kitchen.
The quality, ‘Tassie Oak’ kitchen is in keeping with the era of the home, but with all the modern conveniences you require with Stainless Steel appliances, gas cooktop, Caesarstone Benchtops subway tile backsplash and breakfast bar at the end of the bench.
Downstairs is an oversized multi-purpose space (just under regulation height) which has previously been used as a sewing studio and a place for the grandchildren to play. A guest room and simple bathroom means you can have visitors for any length of time, and they will have their own area, and access to outside through the large laundry downstairs. With double garage doors (one remote) there is accommodation for 3 cars plus workshop area and lockable storage.
In the backyard, a sparkling pool is not far from the outdoor entertaining area off the back porch, and the gardens have been lovingly tended to make a low-maintenance, lush and private haven.
Character features abound with VJ walls, hanging rails, decorative brackets and fretwork, double-hung sash windows and casement windows as well as beautiful hardwood floors throughout, you will truly love everything about living in a Queenslander with all the work completed by a master builder over almost five decades.
