SOLD BY JUNE FRANK - " BERRY HOUSE " Restoration Complete !

Enjoy the Victorian charm of this exceptional 19th Century property. Built in 1870 in Georgian style the stately home has had a diverse journey to arrive finally at its best.  Built for William Berry, the landmark two story building enjoys far reaching views and has a spectacular street presence.  Originally the roof was slate but was replaced with iron in the 1920's- one slate tile remains.  It was also at this time that the cast iron balustrade was added to give a Victorian look.  This was previously on the the Bank of N.S.W building.  Like many Ipswich homes during mid century the building was modified into flats.  This provided much needed accommodation after the war and quite often saved the property from demolition.  The Why birds restored the property and then sold it to the Ipswich Independent Youth Shelter.  At this time a second dwelling was added to the site with access from Omar Street.  The current owners purchased the property in the 90's and raised their seven children whilst restoring and running an antique building from the second building.  Included in this meticulous restoration is a complete internal and external paint in period colors.  The interior has been completely re skinned.  The top and lower level verandahs have been tiled with tessellated tiles as is the new bathroom with quality fittings, laundry and conservatory.  . A moving view from the top level is far reaching encompassing Northern mountains, Ipswich Grammar School, St Marys Cathedral and the Brisbane C.B. D Skyline.  The original building has from the hall- formal parlour & dining, 2 bedrooms and a staircase to 3 more bedrooms and new bathroom.  Internal access leads out to the light filled conservatory ideal for relaxed breakfasts or a quiet read. A powder room / laundry is provided in this space conveniently near the kitchen /dining which is the hub of this family's home.  Re purposed cedar in the bespoke kitchen has functional stone bench tops and an antique porcelain double bowl sink.  The second building provides endless opportunities for extra accommodation, office space or possible Air B'n'B.  There is a separate bathroom, 2 bedrooms and kitchen with the advantage of Historic Mixed Use Zoning as a home business may be run separate  to the main home.

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!
