If only walls could talk, 10-12 Killarney Street, Yeronga would have so many stories to tell, and one can only imagine what has been before. The love, the laughter, the family gatherings, such a wonderful home, such an interesting history, �Killarney�, built in the c1880's, has stood the test of time.
Towering ceilings, VJ walls, stained glass, sash windows, french doors, picture railings, breezeways, bay window seats & wooden floorboards�all the features we love and expect from homes of this era.
As described in the local history books, "its complex design features a multi-layered hipped roof and two imposing turrets with faceted bay windows. Its symmetry is further enhanced by the decorative frontispiece and pediment which joins the veranda's that run the length of the house. The overall construction of timber and tin clearly earmarks this house as a stylistic Queenslander, just as its proportions indicate its origin as a family home. The Killarney Estate is a small, residential area characterised by its traditional Queensland housing, abundant vegetation and narrow streets forming a grid, which gives it a pleasant village atmosphere".
Behind the facade not only hides a history but a home of grand proportions ready for a new owner to call home. A wide and welcoming veranda leads into the grand hallway and spacious interior full of the character of yesteryear. A formal lounge room and dining room sit in the centre of the house, leading off to the TV room and study, flexible spaces to adapt to your living needs.
With all the living on one level and only a few steps into the house, this home is perfect for downsizers and upsizes alike. With four bedrooms on offer, two large bedrooms sit at the front of the layout, separated by the hallway, framed by lovely window seats. The main bedroom features a fireplace and compact ensuite. You could run this bedroom as a lounge room, the way the current owners used to use this room, also perfect as the main bedroom. The main bathroom has a shower over bath.
Families will love eating in the kitchen, encouraging that family lifestyle. The kids can sit and do their homework while the chef of the home prepares the evening meal or enjoy the reading corner for the morning coffee. This is how kitchens should be: open and social, a place to connect and share stories of the day. With a fireplace beside the meals area, gas cooking, a dishwasher, a large corner pantry and ample storage and preparation space, it is one of my favourite rooms of the house. The kitchen connects to the back entertainment deck, the perfect vantage place to watch the kids play & enjoy the space on offer.
Positioned on a commanding flood free 1,002sqm block, there is ample room to extend, add a swimming pool, or extra garaging if needed. There is room to park 3 cars undercover with a separate carport at the back of the block, or park under the deck, with a bricked turning circle. Under the house there is a lock-up workshop, plus ample storage.
Ideally positioned within walking distance of Yeeronga train station, Yeronga State Primary School, Yeronga State High School, Queensland Tennis Centre, Yeerongpilly Green with Woolworths, restaurants, and caf�s. Brisbane Golf Club, hospitals, universities, private schools, shops, parks, and public transport are all at your doorstep. Yeronga offers an outstanding lifestyle only 5km from the CBD.
