Step into a piece of Ipswich history with this beautifully preserved character home, proudly offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years. Built in 1958 by renowned master builder T.P. Turner, this residence is a true testament to craftsmanship, charm, and enduring quality – a home that has been lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained across generations.
Positioned in a sought-after premium, tree-lined street in East Ipswich, this home immediately captures the heart. From the moment you arrive, the timeless street presence sets the tone for what lies within – a warm, inviting residence where character and comfort come together seamlessly.
Inside, the home showcases a stunning array of original features, including cedar frame construction, horsehair plaster walls, and beautifully ornate ceilings that reflect the elegance of a bygone era. Natural light filters effortlessly through traditional sash windows, creating a soft, welcoming ambiance throughout. French doors from both the lounge and master bedroom open onto a charming terrazzo front patio – the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the afternoon.
The layout is both practical and inviting, offering three generously proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, new carpet underfoot, plantation shutters, ceiling fans throughout, and air conditioning to the master bedroom for year-round comfort. The original bathroom has been carefully preserved, retaining its authentic character while remaining highly functional.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen features beautiful New Guinea rosewood cabinetry – a standout feature that combines durability with timeless style. The living area is enhanced by a cosy enclosed Wood fireplace, creating the perfect atmosphere for winter evenings.
Outdoors, the lifestyle appeal continues with a covered BBQ and entertaining area featuring breeze blocks, ideal for hosting family and friends in a relaxed setting. The property also offers a lockable garage, dedicated workroom, and a generous storage attic – perfect for tradies, hobbyists, or those simply needing extra space.
Adding further flexibility, a separate building provides a multipurpose/rumpus room with exciting potential to be transformed into a granny flat, home office, creative studio, or guest retreat (STCA).
Set on a generous allotment, the property offers ample room to further enhance with an in-ground pool or expanded outdoor living zones. Importantly, the home has never flooded, offering additional peace of mind for buyers.
Located just minutes from Ipswich CBD, quality schools, parks, and shopping, this is a rare opportunity to secure a tightly held, character-rich home in one of the area’s most desirable pockets.
Homes of this calibre, with this level of history and care, are seldom offered – and once seen, never forgotten.
