KILCOO – 1863 -STUNNING BRICK VICTORIAN

 

Built in 1863 the original brick colonial favours the Georgian era, not long finished and is steeped deep in a bygone era of great social political and cultural changes.

Mayor Henry Edmund Wyman resided and purchased Kilcoo in 1894. Interesting fact is this period, bands were a large part of entertainment and competition.  A “Coin Evening” was conducted and advertised in the local paper with an evening of euchre with prizes and refreshments and an impromptu concert on the front lawn.

Mr and Mrs Meredith hosted the evening with proceeds to aid the city vice-regal band contest.  Typical of property from this period, the walls are double cavity brick.  The current owners have skillfully restored the brick by painstakingly stripping the paint to expose the original brick, which features four diamond patterns in the front façade.

The new colonial style fence privatizes and formalizes the secure front courtyard where the verandah spills out to emerald green lawns, perfect for entertaining and children’s play area.

Batwing lattice gates open to the verandah and the front cedar door opens to the central hall.  All bedrooms are large and the main features a generous ensuite with oversized shower and large closet space.

Embossed feature wallpaper and stunning working fireplace enhance the charm of the formal living area.

Wraparound living space is provided in the deep enclosed verandahs where you can enjoy the sunroom with a view to the CBD. A home office is also in this space and is tucked behind a privacy wall.  Separate W.C. has storage space, and a divine period bathroom features a stunning clawfoot bath, double his and hers shell pedestal basins, art deco mirrors and armoire for linen.

A solid timber colonial kitchen with granite tops and butlers sink is so functional and spills out to the dining space and opens through French doors to the front courtyard.  Perfect for entertaining or you may run your own coin night.

To complete the perfect property the automatic gate opens by remote to driveway access to shed.  The 809sqm block is fully fenced.

The property is rewired, roof replaced, steel and brick piers.

The location is perfect, walk to CBD, schools, and rail.  No flooding.

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!
