Set behind a classic picket fence and framed by the Crepe Myrtle that inspired its name, Myrtle House immediately disarms you. There's an undeniable feeling that something special waits beyond the gate. This is the kind of home that is easy to fall in love with.
A true Queenslander in every sense, this character residence celebrates all the hallmarks of the era: a wide veranda that wraps around like a welcoming embrace, intricate fretwork, French doors that spill soft light through their windows, and the rich patina of original hoop pine floors underfoot.
Every detail tells a story, a love letter to a time when craftsmanship mattered and homes were built with heart.
The main living and dining connects effortlessly to the kitchen, featuring a double undermount stainless sink and sleek quartz benchtops, a modern touch that respects its heritage roots. The bathroom retains its period charm with an original vanity and a shower over bath setup, balancing function and nostalgia.
Step outside and the lifestyle truly unfolds: a French provincial inspired entertaining area laid in natural Philadelphia travertine, overlooking a 9x4m concrete salt chlorine pool reaching 1.8m deep. It's easy to imagine weekends spent poolside under the shade of the Mango tree, the kind of setting that makes guests linger a little longer. With five air conditioners throughout, comfort is assured year round even the pool house enjoys its own cooling for lazy summer afternoons.
The home has been raised to legal height underneath, offering a blank canvas for the next chapter; internal stairs, an ensuite, or even an additional dwelling could all be realised here.
With new joists throughout and the roof replaced just five years ago, the groundwork has been done. In this tightly held pocket of Ipswich, over capitalising is almost impossible; homes like this are too scarce, too treasured.
On a generous 1,416m² allotment with rear yard access, the property invites both expansion and freedom. There's already plumbing in the laundry for an additional shower and toilet if desired, while the electric fireplace complete with a timber mantle adds that perfect evening ambience.
And the location? You couldn't script it better. A short stroll places you within Ipswich's renowned private school district, the CBD, and Thomas Street Train Station. Bunnings is just around the corner, and the major arterials are moments away.
Myrtle House isn't just a home it's a celebration of Queensland architecture and the spirit of Ipswich itself: authentic, enduring, and full of heart.
