All jokes aside, this magnificent example of the classic centre hall Queenslander started its life in 1938 as the Hamilton Police Station in Brisbane. It now stands proudly on a level 1/4 acre in Paradise Drive with some views out to the Coast & Ocean. It has been all fully restored & beautifully redecorated in traditional cream & white tonings. Now it is a very fine home with another complete life in front of it.

The floor plan adapted easily to 3 bedrooms & study with space for a traditional main bathroom with claw foot bath & also an ensuite bathroom which has a second access from the long fully enclosed verandah. Living space includes a lounge, separate dining, sunroom & a lovely little breakfast nook in the all new kitchen. The huge enclosed verandah on the northern side would ideally suit as a rumpus / family fun space while the lattice enclosed verandah that wraps around the front of the home & right along the southern side is a cool & private summer outdoor living space.

This historic beauty exhibits all those wonderful features of the traditional Queenslander such as: full VJ Board 11 foot ceilings & walls, original French doors & double hung windows plus push out windows with brass fittings, fanlights, polished timber floors - The list of original features goes on and on. The historic ambience is fantastic and is crying out for solid timber furniture, comfy leather couches and beautiful rugs scattered across the warmly glowing floors that show the patina of age so beautifully.

Restoration started with a new roof then went on to all new plumbing & wiring & a complete set of steel stumps with solid “tree trunk” timber show poles at the front. The home has been elevated above legal head height to allow for full enclosure to habitable living space at ground level if desired in the future. The entire under house area has been concreted & is currently set up to accommodate 4 cars.

There’s little it needs now to turn it from a house to a home - Your choice of drapes & decor will recreate the atmosphere of the past in a most dramatic fashion. Antique collectors can be certain that their collection will be displayed to perfection within these beautiful walls.
