Known as “Bonny Doon”, this iconic double-brick Colonial was built in 1893 by James Renwick and remains one of Toowoomba's rare heritage homes of its kind. Featured on the Caledonia Estate heritage walk, it's a residence with real presence, wide hallways, 12-foot ceilings, original details, and the sort of atmosphere you can't replicate.
The north-facing wraparound verandah frames the home and takes in the established gardens from the front aspect. Upon entry, the floorplan is classic Colonial: a series of rooms that creates wonderful separation, atmosphere, and choice, rather than one open expanse. It's spacious and versatile, with four bedrooms plus an office, and the fourth bedroom easily converting to a second living area. There's excellent flexibility for extended family, guests or independent living thanks to the detached studio/granny flat setup with bathroom and kitchenette.
The established 1,012m² block offers privacy and greenery in all directions, with fruit trees including fig, passionfruit, orange, paw paw and mandarin to name a few. A rear deck looks over the garden, and plus a large double shed.
Positioned in a tightly held, walkable part of East Toowoomba, you're close to schools, parks, cafes and the CBD.
