Overview

Situated on a substantial 1,160 sqm allotment in East Ipswich, this spacious five-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends significant historical charm with modern updates and versatile living spaces, ideal for families or those who value character and functionality.

Parts of the residence date back to prior to 1890, with a notable extension designed by renowned architect William Henke in the early 1900s, emphasizing the property's architectural heritage. Known as "Wilton," the home carries a sense of history alongside contemporary improvements made over recent years.

The property features generous living zones including multiple lounges, dining, and sitting areas, accommodating varied family activities and entertaining needs. The kitchen stands out with two-pack cabinetry, a large island bench, integrated dishwasher, and modern cooking appliances, complemented by a restored antique pantry door that adds unique personality.

Upstairs accommodation includes five bedrooms offering ample space for family members or guests, with modern bathrooms featuring quality fittings. The retention of classic elements such as the 1902-stamped clawfoot bathtub reflects the home's distinctive character.

Beneath the house, the layout provides extensive secure storage and recreation options including a tandem garage, workshop, lock-up storage, and rumpus room, suitable for vehicle accommodation, hobbies, home business or leisure activities. The epoxy-coated floors and additional 15,000-litre water tank with pump enhance practicality.

The outdoor area offers a generous yard for various uses, with recent improvements including a rebuilt front staircase and full repaint enhancing visual appeal. This rare blend of historical essence, spacious living, and modern convenience presents a unique opportunity for ownership in Ipswich.
