Situated high on Clayfield hill stands this iconic 1888 landmark colonial residence on a 1070 sq mtr. corner site. Designed for George Watson, who was the Mayor of Brisbane in 1893, by the then prominent architectural firm, John Hall and Sons. During WW2 the American Army occupied the house for both accommodation and as an Officers mess. The commanding position on the hill, along with the turret structure, was ideal for plane spotting with its 180 degree views and an uninterrupted view to Moreton Bay.
There is now the opportunity to restore this magnificent home to its former glory with towering 3.6 mtr pressed metal ceilings and period stained glass features. The large rooms provide multiple living and dining opportunities along with the five bedrooms and a purpose built studio apartment with kitchenette and bathroom.
The period style kitchen complements this outstanding home which also offers a music room, library, large study, generous loft/attic and several storage cupboards. Only an inspection will make evident the enormous potential of this truly amazing residence.
