249 Herries Street, Newtown, Qld 4350

This grand turn of the century double gabled Queenslander is full of colonial character features that will have you falling in love the moment you arrive, and let's not forget it's only a moment's walk to our thriving CBD.

Here you have the charm, space and quality that period homes are so well known for, combined with the convenience and practicality that a modern lifestyle demands. The house purposefully retains all the classic colonial accents that are so reminiscent of days gone by, whilst still being responsive to the demands of modern-day life.

Nestled on 883m2 behind the handcrafted front gate, a garden arch and Jacaranda tree, you are instantly greeted by the grandeur of early Victorian stone steps and classic period door with coloured glass sidelights as your entrance.

Step inside and you'll be greeted by polished timber floors, souring VJ walls, wide central hallway and ornate pressed metal ceilings that altogether exude elegance.

The long and wide Georgian arched hallway immediately establishes an
an inviting ambience, as it symmetrically splits off into traditional bedrooms and the many light-filled living areas. The 12ft high ceilings and the large windows that frame the garden beyond, altogether create an open and airy feel throughout the generously portioned 244m2 floor plan.

Idea for alfresco living, the large undercover patio extends from the main living spaces as a bonus, so there is plenty of room for everyone to relax in comfort and safety all year round.

Beyond the patio, there is a section of cottage gardens with a traditional stone lined border, and established backyard fruit trees with stepping stones and lawn area. The current owner has thoughtfully made allowance for a double lock up carport to be placed as an extension of the new concrete driveway.

A green screen hedge between the house and driveway and strategic provisioning of future car accommodation will make for a very useable private backyard ideal for extended outdoor living, and all on a low maintenance allotment.
