Hidden behind a tall fence, "Thurso", circa 1903, is believed to have been built by a Scottish mining magnate/engineer. If his substantial grand home is any indication, he must have also been a successful family man.
The imposing heritage residence features a picture-perfect Federation style facade with wide return verandahs trimmed with timber fretwork and turned posts.
Inside, impressive proportions include the classic long central hallway with 3.8m ceilings, deep patterned cornice, plaster arch, timber panelled doors and wide moulded skirting boards. A solid double brick construction throughout.
All rooms open off the hallway beginning with two large bedrooms (BIR) at the front, followed by a formal lounge featuring an open fireplace with timber mantelpiece and cast iron grate. It has an access door from the verandah and large North-facing windows, filling every corner with natural light. Across the hall, the family/living room has a similar fireplace and door to the verandah with bifold doors to the kitchen/dining. The kitchen is serviceable with electric cooking appliances, an island bench and a dishwasher. The bathroom inflicted with a similar renovation includes a bath, shower recess, handbasin and toilet.
Four more bedrooms and a toilet/washroom, all open from the hallway before it ends at the full-width rear verandah.
The lot approx. 2575 sq mts. is on two titles and includes an expansive paved outdoor living area, an external laundry building, a three-car carport, old shedding, a 12m x 4m inground pool and 2
x 5000Ltr rainwater tanks.

It has good bones and is ready for its next chapter, which could be several things from a grand family home, maybe a Bed and Breakfast business or professional consulting rooms with ample on-site parking (all STCA).
The position is a short stroll from all Eaglehawk amenities with Lake Neangar and its Playspace, the Peter Krenz Leisure Centre, Canterbury Park Oval and Botanical Gardens all opposite.
