Boothville - An Iconic Residence, A Privileged Lifestyle
A true Brisbane landmark, Boothville has been extensively and respectfully renovated to create an elegant and stately residence of a caliber seldom available to purchase.
Built in 1887 for the Queensland National Bank to provide residential accommodation for their managers, it was purchased by William Booth, the son of the founder of the Salvation Army, in 1923. Less than twelve months later, the Salvation Army Mothers Hospital moved to the property and the house was renamed Boothville. For nearly 7 decades thereafter the home functioned as a maternity hospital - chances are, you will know of someone who was born there.
In 2012, Boothville presents as a large happy family home high on a hill in the central suburb of Windsor. Enjoying sweeping views across Brisbane, the home continues to command attention. Built in a time of servants quarters and grand reception rooms, the quality of the original dwelling is evident in the finely crafted timber work, the ornate plaster ceilings and cornicing.
It is the exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail and a sense of history which set Boothville apart from other properties; the fireplaces are the work of artisans and incorporate intricate mosaic detailing. The stone entry vestibule welcomes visitors to the house at the foot of finely carved timber stairs, the cedar balustrade is one beautiful piece of timber. Large folding cedar doors separate the original parlor from the formal dining room, and the cellar is fit for a wine connoisseur.
The house is a functioning home to a large family and reflects love and laughter with no compromises on contemporary lifestyle.
Boothville is offered for sale by Tender.
