An ambitious and long term renovation has seen stately Mayfield's formerly dignified air fully restored, allowing it to once again embrace its former life as an enviably positioned estate of truly impressive proportions. Certainly its sprawling dimensions and close proximity to an excellent range of amenities have always been a source of desire, which has in part contributed to the property's long and colourful history, with the home acted as a boarding house, a hostel and even a US Military facility at various times. However it is its latest incarnation as a well-loved family residence that has seen the house fully rejuvenated, not only restored to its original glory but sympathetically modernised to suit today's life and style.

The formal living and dining rooms form a suitably grand introduction and display all the fine original finishes and fixtures that are expected of a stately home of this era. The features, which include VJ walls, impressive 13 foot high ceilings and carved picture rails are on show throughout the rest of the main living level which includes the spacious family room (complete with fireplace) and a casual meals area. The kitchen is similarly in keeping; its traditionally profiled cabinetry working in well with the high quality European appliances and granite bench tops. Another fundamental design element of the traditional Queenslander - the deep wrap around veranda - also features prominently, creating an ideal space for alfresco living along with encouraging natural breezes throughout the home by way of multiple sets of French doors.
