Some homes are beautiful. Others have a story to tell. 'Glen Alpine' has both, and then some. Standing proudly along one of Toowoomba's most admired streets, 'Glen Alpine' (c. 1918) is a remarkable piece of the city's architectural history. Set across 3,590sqm of private, level lawns and established gardens, this magnificent Federation residence commands some of the most breathtaking views you'll find anywhere in Toowoomba. And not just from one special spot. Every living space enjoys uninterrupted, protected easterly views.
With a history as impressive as its setting, 'Glen Alpine' has been home to some of Queensland's most distinguished figures. More recently, the home has undergone an extraordinary transformation under the guidance of award-winning Owen Architecture and prominent local builder Janke Constructions. Its original character has been beautifully restored, while two striking contemporary wings introduce a wonderful balance of old and new. Slate finishes, bespoke wrought-iron detailing and handcrafted double-glazed doors that stack away to bring the outdoors in. Impressive in its design, yet wonderfully comfortable in the way it lives.
Inside, there's an immediate sense of light, space and timeless character. Five generous bedrooms include a beautiful main suite with its own working fireplace and French doors opening to a private balcony. Then there's the magnificent library, complete with floor-to-ceiling cedar joinery. Quite possibly the home office you've always dreamed of! A sweeping staircase leads to expansive formal and casual living spaces, all opening effortlessly to the lawns and gardens. There's even the opportunity to introduce a third bathroom if desired.
Yet for all its grandeur, 'Glen Alpine' is a wonderfully welcoming family home. Equally suited to quiet mornings overlooking the valley, weekends entertaining friends or celebrating life's biggest family milestones. It's private, peaceful and feels a world away from everything, while remaining right in the heart of Toowoomba.
