Just an Old Fashioned Home

Come home to a little bit of history every night with this 1930’s Queenslander. Proudly presented on a fully fenced corner allotment in the popular suburb of Silkstone.

Built to stand the test of time, the home has been upgraded to make use of the downstairs area with steel posts and Besser block wall around the downstairs perimeter. Lock-up car accommodation is under and a large part of the downstairs area has been tiled, which is perfect for a rumpus area. There is also a small workshop under and a separate utility room – ideal for use as a home gym, sewing room or office. For convenience, a toilet and shower have also been installed downstairs.

Upstairs has all the timeless charm of yesteryear with front patio for enjoying a cuppa’ and just sit and chill out. Inside has tongue and groove walls throughout, high ceilings and honey coloured polished floors. Beautiful carved fretwork breezeways above the doors, picture rail in the lounge and dining room, and traditional double hung windows. The breakfast room is currently being used as a family room and boasts a wood fire heater – perfect for the current chilly nights. Keeping in character is the solid timber kitchen with gas cooker and the original stove recess has been converted into a very generous pantry with matching timber doors.

The side verandah has built-in shelving and bench tops – great for crafts or for a home office/study (kids with computers and the shelving becomes a mini library).

The home is complete with all the extras like air conditioning in the main bedroom, insulation (batts) in the ceiling, whirly birds, near new roof (replaced after a hail storm in 2008), ceiling fans and security screens. There is even a garden shed and 10,000 ltr water tank.

Nothing to do here, just enjoy and love living in the heart of Silkstone, with easy highway access and walking distance to schools and Booval Fair Shopping Centre. For further details, please call Sue.
