Set behind manicured hedges and a white picket fence, the grand Federation Queenslander ”Mayfield” holds one of Sherwood's most distinguished addresses. Heritage listed and built circa 1914, it carries more than a century of history seamlessly woven into contemporary family living. Positioned on a 1,444sqm north-east facing allotment, the home is defined by its terracotta-tiled roof, decorative fretwork and sweeping verandahs that embody timeless character.
Generous proportions are evident throughout, with original VJ panelling and stained-glass windows enriching elegant interiors. High ceilings and polished timber floors invite natural light, while interconnected living and dining areas provide a welcoming setting for family life or entertaining. A fireplace built into the original kitchen stove place adds warmth and heritage appeal, while concertina doors open to the eastern veranda, creating an effortless connection to leafy vistas, pool views and elevated breezes.
The kitchen makes a striking statement, where form and function align. A wide black stained solid oak and marble topped island is paired with contrasting black and white shaker cabinetry. Stainless-steel benchtops and a tiled splashback reflects the glow of pendant lighting. Premium appliances, including an impressive freestanding cooktop and oven, a steam oven and extra storeroom for appliances highlight the home's culinary credentials.
Accommodation includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels, thoughtfully arranged for privacy and flexibility. The master suite is a serene sanctuary with walk-in wardrobe, verandah access and an ensuite featuring double vanity and freestanding bath. On the lower level, two bedrooms are complemented by an expansive living room with projector theatre, home office, studio and generous laundry, creating an ideal retreat.
Outdoors, a sparkling in-ground pool forms the garden's centrepiece, bordered by sandstone paving and lush greenery. A brick-paved terrace offers multiple options for entertaining, from relaxed lunches beneath the trees to evenings by the pool. Expansive lawns and wraparound verandahs create a private, resort-style environment suited to both retreat and celebration.
Practical features enhance daily living, with private driveway access to a double garage, ample storage, solar panels, irrigation, security system and split-system air-conditioning. Every detail of this heritage residence reflects enduring quality and timeless design.
