Positioned on an expansive 863sqm corner block in the heart of Sherwood, this 1926 Queenslander has been cherished by the same family for 24 years. Framed by manicured hedges and a white picket fence, its dual street frontage, elevated flood-free setting, and timeless façade create a home that is as practical as it is beautiful. Rich with stories, it has raised children from their earliest years through to university while hosting countless family gatherings and celebrations with friends.
From the gated entry, one of two north-east facing decks welcomes summer breezes into interiors that reveal soaring 11-foot ceilings, polished timber floors, and original leadlight windows. Two upstairs living rooms enhance family flexibility, complemented by skylights in the hallway and kitchen, striking art deco light fittings, and Flemish glass. A pot-belly stove anchors the main living room, while French doors extend to an oversized deck overlooking the swimming pool and gardens.
The kitchen forms the true heart of the home, blending heritage charm with everyday practicality. Wrap-around stone benchtops and a breakfast bar are paired with pendant lighting and ample cabinetry. A large Belling stove with twin ovens, walk-in pantry, and double sinks cater to family living, while direct access to the rear entertaining deck makes gatherings effortless.
Across both levels, the home offers four well-sized bedrooms. The main is complete with air conditioning, walk-in wardrobe, and a modern ensuite featuring double vanities and clawfoot bath. A second bedroom on this level enjoys a window seat with leafy outlooks, while downstairs, one has direct pool access. The sleep-out adds flexibility as a home office, additional bedroom, nursery, or playroom.
The lower level provides independence for teenagers or guests with a modern bathroom,
two additional bedrooms, and a spacious living room that opens directly to the garden and swimming pool. A glass internal stairwell draws natural light inside, while an oversized laundry, abundant storage, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a large workshop with double tubs highlight the home's overall practical inclusions.
Outdoors impress with a firepit framed by tropical gardens, a sparkling 11m saltwater pool, breezy covered patios, and a level lawn offering privacy for children and pets, all bordered by hedges and secure fencing. Automatic irrigation, tropical landscaping, thoughtful outdoor lighting, and a rainwater tank provide ease of upkeep. Adding to its legacy, the home and garden were once home to a prize-winning Poinciana crowned the 'Queen of the Flowering Trees' in 1951 and later featured in the 1971 Women's Weekly Gardening Book.
Completing the lifestyle, the location is second to none. Within a block of Sherwood train station, Sherwood Arboretum, and walking distance from Sherwood State School, the home provides both convenience and independence for families. A new Woolworths and shops are within walking distance, while long-standing neighbours foster a genuine sense of community. Safe, welcoming, and connected, this is Sherwood living at its finest.
