'Burnage Homestead' is one of Toowoomba's iconic homes and was built in 1874 by George Washington Griffiths, one of the founding fathers of the Toowoomba Foundry. There's no doubt that she is a fine example of our early heritage and if walls could talk just imagine the many stories this grand old lady could tell. Steeped with history this impressive architectural residence, once occupied an expansive 80 acre land parcel overlooking the Toowoomba range. Now some 150 years on, the home rests on a valuable 2092m2 allotment and is ready to transition from one family to another, an opportunity for someone who appreciates our early architecture to enjoy the fruits of hard work and labour of the current owner plus add their own stamp on this renowned character residence. Framed with beautiful established gardens, as you enter you can't help but be inspired by the timeless elegance of a bygone era this landmark residence has to offer. Swept straight off the pages of a classic Australian novel, the quintessential wide verandah detailed with beautiful hardwood decking are handsomely teamed with large picture windows to deliver a home that is enchanting from the very first view. On entry you will be mesmerised by classic features including soaring high ceilings, polished timber floors, decorative ceilings and traditional fireplaces. The home boasts a spectrum of inviting retreats including your choice of formal and casual living spaces, 2 well-appointed kitchens with quality appliances, 4 large bedrooms (massive master with ensuite), upstairs attic with 2 rooms which back in the day would have been used as a sleepout/study for children plus a family bathroom with separate shower and bath. The superb functional floorplan offers wonderful flexibility where the fourth bedroom could also be utilised as an additional living room plus there are many more features that on inspection will impress including an expansive enclosed verandah that enjoys fabulous range views.
