'Tighna-Bruaich' - Historic family home with views to Stradbroke Island

This character home on one of Clayfield's premier streets is steeped in historical relevance. Surrounded by substantial family homes, the property is ready to enjoy, with further scope for an extensive renovation. Originally built in 1908 for the daughter of the first house on the hill, this property has hosted just three families to date.

Set back from the street and sheltered from major flight paths, the home and tranquil gardens afford complete privacy to the occupants. This quiet haven is protected from the hustle and bustle of this thriving and sought after suburb.

Presenting high ceilings and capturing north-easterly breezes, this home is perfect for families. Showcasing VJ panelling, picture rails, breezeways, two picturesque fireplaces and utilising robust and sturdy materials, the surfaces are practical and well-suited for family life, while still creating a nostalgic reference to heritage architecture.

Be the envy of your guests as you showcase the adaptable floorplan that enables the living spaces to be opened up, creating alfresco flow between the front courtyard and back deck to become a large function space. Views over the gently-sloping, manicured lawn draw your eye to the bay,and out to Stradbroke Island beyond. These impressive landmarks can be enjoyed from the expansive rear deck, formal and informal living areas.

A large entertainer's kitchen offers a Ilve gas-cooktop, Smeg wall oven, microwave, Miele dishwasher, impressive granite bench, breakfast bar and plenty of cupboard space.

The master bedroom is expansive and includes a sizeable dressing room, which also serves as an entry foyer to the master suite. Serviced by a proportional ensuite, this room's potential cannot be overlooked. Three additional bedrooms offer built-in robes and are serviced by an updated family bathroom. Incorporating heritage charm in period-style fixtures and fittings, the bathroom includes a claw-foot bath and freestanding timber vanity.

Situated on an impressive 1517m2 block, children or a much-loved hound will love spending time outside. Families have previously enjoyed the expansive yard with games of cricket and volleyball.

Additional features include:
* Sunroom adjacent to the formal dining area creating additional living space or home office
* Downstairs laundry, storage and utility room with adjacent drying courtyard
* Courtyard with eye catching circular paving formation
* Quad carport and garden shed

This grand old dame would suit families who can see potential in future renovation, while preserving the heritage features and historical relevance.
