Displaying exquisite character and the exceptional quality of a bygone era, this low-set cavity-brick home offers rustic charm at every turn. Of historic significance, this beautiful Graceville home is one of only six repatriated soldiers' homes in Queensland and takes deserved place on the heritage list. The 1920s character is paired perfectly with the space and al fresco lifestyle modern families desire.
Positioned on an 810sqm flood-free parcel with a northerly aspect, the home was originally built for a WW1 veteran. The class of yesteryear shines through with character elements including three-metre-high ceilings, rendered internal walls, timber fretwork, stained glass, and polished hardwood floors. Beyond a quaint entrance, soaring ceilings feature throughout a large open-plan living and dining area with air-conditioning bringing modern comfort. There's also a second lounge room offering private separation. The country-style kitchen/ dining/sitting rooms brings heritage charm and period detailing, as well as modern provision including stainless appliances, butler's pantry and a large stone island bench.
Entertaining is an absolute joy with two covered al fresco areas, one nestled to the east of the home and overlooking a landscaped cottage garden. The second patio is located at the rear of the home adjoining a heated, salt-water in-ground swimming pool ideal for all-seasons. The property also features a separate detached dwelling at the rear of the home just perfect as a private art studio, office or as a guest bedroom.
The four bedrooms, or three plus a large study, offer great privacy and quiet solitude when desired. There are two bathrooms impeccably servicing the home with both stylishly blending contemporary comfort with character styling including bespoke timber vanities. Additional features include solar electricity, solar hot water, solar pool heating and side access to a tandem carport and single lock-up garage.
Delcan House is just around the corner from Graceville Fiveways, featuring local restaurants and cafes, the post office, medical centre and pharmacy. Take the eight-minute stroll to Graceville train station and shopping strip, more restaurants plus the Regal Cinema. You can also expect a short drive to the Graceville Riverside shops, IGA and Goodlife Gym. There are parks and leash-free dog zones galore, including the river walk along the Chelmer-Graceville reach of the Brisbane river.
It's in the heart of an education precinct with access to multiple schools, both private and state, including Saint Aidan's Anglican Girls' School Corinda, plus Brigidine College, Saint Peters Lutheran College and Ambrose Treacy College in Indooroopilly and Brisbane Boys College in Toowong. State high schools include Indooroopilly High and Corinda High.
Large range of local children's sporting facilities including Graceville Sea Scouts, Graceville Hounds Touch Football and Rugby League Club, Graceville Netball Club, UQ Junior Bull Sharks Rugby Union Club, Western Suburbs District Cricket Club and the Oxley Sea Scouts in Chelmer.
It's also just a short drive to the Oxley Golf Driving Range, Oxley Golf Club, Brisbane Golf Club Tennyson, Saint Lucia Golf Club, Indooroopilly Golf Club and the International Tennis Centre.
