SOLD BY JUNE FRANK - “WALKERVILLE” ATOP CINTRA

 

A grand 5-bedroom home on 1538m2 nestles at the top of a charming cul-de-sa.

HISTORY:

This house was built circa 1909 at Bergins Hill for John and Ellen Walker. John was one of 5 brothers who owned and operated the Aberdare Colliery at that time. In 1918 an acre of land became available on limestone hill, extending from Cintra street to Chermside Road. John and Ellen bought the land and the following year, shifted their house there by bullock teams. Descendants believe this house was also extended after it was shifted. About 1950 this house was converted into flats; very common after the second world war when there was a huge shortage of accommodation. It was restored in the 1980s and has now returned to its former glory. After more then 32 years of living in and lovely maintaining and restoring this magnificent colonial home, it is now time to hand over to new custodians to preserve and enjoy all of the benefits of colonial lifestyle.

If you have a dream list of features you are looking for then this will surely cover them all – including stunning cast iron lace work on wide wrap around verandas, which have been completely restored. Magnificent cedar entry with original lead light panel and side lights. Graceful large rooms featuring pressed metal ceilings and french doors for veranda access.

The main with walk through robe to full bathroom size ensuite with step up bath and separate shower. This bathroom is two-way to the hall and services two further bedrooms to the front section of the house.

View Profile

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!
