$595,000 A Century in the Making An Icon Reimagined In regional Queensland, there are homes that sit quietly in the streetscape… and then there are homes that define it. For almost 100 years, this residence has stood as one of Clermont’s most enduring properties. In an extraordinary testament to its significance, it has changed hands just a few times in a century — a rare continuity of custodianship that speaks volumes about its importance to the families who have resided inside. Set on a commanding 2,023 square metres, this is heritage not nostalgic, but living architecture. The full-length front verandah establishes the tone immediately. Elevated, expansive and unapologetically traditional, it frames the façade in classic Queensland style, designed for climate, and for contemplation. Step inside and the craftsmanship reveals itself in layers. Original fretwork, intricate and finely detailed. Tongue-and-groove walls that carry the warmth of a century. Soaring ceilings that create volume and breathability. This is architecture designed long before air-conditioning and yet seamlessly complemented by it today. Modern climate control ensures year-round comfort, while easy-care contemporary flooring respects the home’s heritage without demanding high maintenance. French doors open into generous bedrooms, their proportions echoing a time when rooms were built to last generations. An enclosed verandah offers flexible living. It could be a studio, toy room, creative retreat while a separate office ensures the home adapts easily to modern professional life. At its heart, the living room fireplace anchors the space both literally and symbolically, a reminder that while trends evolve, the need for warmth and gathering does not. The bathroom is light-filled and contemporary, thoughtfully updated, with the addition of a second toilet ensuring functionality matches beauty. But this property is not simply about preservation. It is about evolution. Steel stumps and exterior cladding provide structural integrity and longevity, critical upgrades that future-proof a century-old build. A covered double carport sits to the western side, and a powered three-bay shed with an additional two bay car cover expands the utility of the site considerably. And then, perhaps the most unexpected chapter is an air-conditioned entertaining room, complete with a built-in bar, the ultimate man cave. A modern interpretation of the traditional outbuilding, it becomes a retreat, a social hub, a place where stories old and new, are shared. This is not just a house. It is a legacy property. A landmark. A rare offering in the Clermont landscape. Homes of this calibre, particularly those held so tightly across generations do not often return to the market. When they do, they invite not just a buyer, but a custodian because after 100 years, the next chapter deserves to be written with care. 📞
