12 Herbert Street SADLIERS CROSSING, QLD 4305

Rarely do treasures of this type come to the market. This iconic Ipswich home, built in the 1870's is laden with old world charm. As you walk through the aged front door you will notice the hessian backed wallpaper has been preserved to give this home it's authentic charm. The rich honey coloured floor boards feel comforting under foot, the tall ceilings look oh so high. Each room of the main house has french doors leading to the verandah with breeze windows above. There is no need to turn on the air conditioner as pleasent breezes waft in every afternoon. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are huge, as they are in most Queenslanders, and bedroom 3 is the perfect size for a study or craftroom. The lounge is very cosy with a real fireplace made from locally crafted bricks over 150 years ago. The formal dining leads out through french doors to the verandah that graces three sides of the building and is the perfect place to watch the sun set with a glass of wine in hand after ahard day of work. Off to the kitchen. Here there is gas cooking on town gas, a hearth that would cetainly suit one of those trendy new gas ovens. And yes it's an eat in kitchen. Out the back there is a courtyard and under the home space for car parking and 2 huge tanks to quench the thirst of the wonderful gardens. The owners of this beautiful lady are sad to leave but work commitments demand they must do so. If you have the passion for a real Queenslander, come to an open home.
