Overview
This distinguished residence at 1560 Sandgate Road exemplifies a harmonious blend of historic grandeur and modern adaptability, set within the timeless character of classic Queensland architecture. The home, originally constructed in 1907, has been carefully preserved to retain its authentic heritage traits including an imposing wrap-around verandah, high 3.3 metre ceilings, stained-glass windows, VJ walls, and carefully crafted hardwood flooring, all of which convey a sense of enduring craftsmanship and elegance rarely found in contemporary markets.
Set on an expansive, fully fenced 796 square metre corner allotment with electric gated entry from Maddocks Street, the property offers both privacy and space, ideal for families seeking a tranquil yet convenient lifestyle. The residence spans two spacious levels, providing versatile living arrangements designed to accommodate growing or multi-generational families with ease. Multiple living zones facilitate comfortable everyday living while seamlessly integrating with generous outdoor entertaining spaces to enhance year-round enjoyment.
The upper level presents bright open-plan living and dining areas that capitalise on natural light and delightful mountain views, complemented by a kitchen thoughtfully positioned to capture scenic sunsets. The breakfast bar extends a casual connection to an expansive covered deck, equipped with a ceiling fan, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet family meals outdoors.
Accommodation on this level includes a master retreat featuring an elegant dressing room, alongside a second bedroom linked with a versatile children's retreat or playroom, a third bedroom adjacent to a study space and powder room, and a well-appointed family bathroom. Decorative breezeways and French-style Juliette doors augment the home's heritage appeal while providing functional and aesthetic benefits.
The lower level is equally accommodating, with a spacious family living area, two additional generous bedrooms opening directly to the backyard, a second bathroom housing laundry facilities, and thoughtful extras such as under-stair storage. The inclusion of security screens, split-system air-conditioning, and a large lock-up garage with workshop and storage spaces enhances the home’s functionality and security.
Additional highlights include a separate powered barn/garage, an osmosis water filter system, and a 6.6kW solar system which contribute both convenience and potential energy savings.
