SOLD BY JUNE FRANK !!

Designed by renowned architect MW Haenke and built circa 1912. This is an outstanding example of federation architecture. The decorative fret work embellishing the front and side verandahs is distinctly art nouveau and most of the doors and windows with their fittings are original.

Prominent in its position and beautifully centered on 1456 square metres this magnificent home enjoys sweeping views over Queens Park.

The land was subdivided from a large estate, called the Cintra Estate, in 1911. In that year, MW Haenke prepared plans for a house on this site for James Stuart Gall. The Housing style of the period from 1900 to 1914 was known as Federation and the variety of Federation style seen in Meiringen is the Bungalow, with one roof enveloping the whole house instead of a stepped-down roof over the verandas.

This era is noted for the decorative woodwork used both externally and internally. The balustrading is wooden broomsticks instead of the ornate cast iron of the previous period. Around the verandas is Art Nouveau decoration, seen in the arches and curves. The same arches are used in the main rooms. The two gables on the roof, one facing the front and the other facing north, also show the same features and are purely decorative. Three bay windows are also a feature of the house.

From the lead-light and cedar entry, a wide hall opens to three large bedrooms, two with bay windows adorned with attractive fretwork.

The southern verandah has been enclosed and has glorious views and access to a bathroom servicing two bedrooms. The formal living area also has a bay window and access to the wide northern verandah.

A second very comfortable living area features pressed metal ceilings, double hung silky oak windows access to the second bathroom and French doors to a welcoming easterly deck. Enjoy park views whilst preparing meals in the very functional kitchen with breakfast bar and large pantry.

A fourth bedroom or study is located on the north-east corner of the house. An upstairs laundry is conveniently situated near the six back steps.

There is a lockup timber shed and legal height under the front of the house.

Conveniently located in walking distance to schools, rail, CBD, Limestone Park and of course Queens park. The discerning buyer will recognize the golden opportunity of acquiring such an outstanding property. Current owners reluctantly moving on after 43 years.

June is a hard working agent and independently sold our home. June was there for all the open times each Saturday and Sunday. There were no substitute agents. The first weekend with her agency, we had a genuine buyer, which she followed up on and resulted in the sale of our home. Such a relief for us, as our home had been listed with another agent since January 2017. Due to her negotiation skills and knowledge of the colonial house market, our lovely character home was sold and we could happily move on. We would recommend highly Walkers’ Principal, June Frank, as an agent who knows the Ipswich property market extremely well.

I cannot recommend June Frank more highly. She is professional, friendly, and efficient. She and her wonderful team offer guidance and support throughout the entire process. Buying or selling... It is easy to see why June Frank is Ipswich's top agent! Thanks June!  

Purchased my first home from June in 1999 and have recently purchased what I expect to be my last, also from June. Contract negotiated and signed within two hours. Diligence, professionalism and attention to detail throughout the process. June's reputation speaks for itself but her actions are far more. She is tenacious in ensuring her clients are looked after throughout the process and her follow-up is second to none. Not only is June an absolute professional who values long term relationships, she is truly committed, and has been for many years, to ensuring Ipswich home buyers receive first class service.  

June is a very trustworthy Agent. She demonstrates this with her excellent communication skills and professional conduct. Although she works for the seller, she still makes the whole process of purchasing a property easy and comfortable.

June was pleasant and easy to work with, always willing to discuss any issues or questions we might have. June was willing to work to with us to gain a market competitive but good price. We would recommend June to anybody who is chasing a professional, knowledgeable and friendly agent who works hard to get the job done and gain the best for her client.

Buying a house through June was a transparent and seamless process. It took a few viewings to make a decision and at each inspection she gave us space and time. She is warm and honest, just what a good agent should be. Highly recommend buying or selling through her!
