Positioned behind a white picket fence, blossoming garden beds and a grand butterfly staircase, this 100 year old Queenslander has never looked better with zero detail spared in its restoration! The homes personality comes to life with the charming characteristics such as high ceilings, hoop pine floorboards, replica original fans, chequer tiles throughout wet areas and materials sourced from across Queensland to align with the homes history. Formally known as "The Batchler Home" built in 1922 for Mr and Mrs Batchler by renown builder Mr John Young, the home remained in the one family for over 70 years and is one of Bundaberg's few remaining true "Grand Old Ladies" of the post-WW1 era. The current owners, driven by passion to preserve an important piece of Bundaberg architectural history, have meticulously restored the home to a standard befitting the period of its heritage. Original and preserved attributes include 8 sets of double French doors, Flemish pivot fanlights above all door, with fully restored keepers, Flemish coloured glass windows, window and door fittings, over-sized bearers and joist, large ornate skirting boards, large decorative picture rails, and the list goes own. This home has been restored to a standard and not a budget. Located in a central position, this home is perfect for the family wanting privacy and serenity plus convenience in their work life.
