There wouldn’t be too many people in the Toowoomba and surrounding areas that don’t know this house or who have been taking a keen interest in its renovation. The original house of the renowned “Cloverlea Estate” sits proudly on a 2,004m² allotment and has come to market after a huge and highly detailed renovation.
Built in 1890 and designed by famed local architect James Marks, the home still retains many of its original features such as leadlight windows, a Queensland Mahogany fireplace, cedar doors, an ornate 12 foot high pressed metal recessed ceiling, bay windows, VJ walls and a grand wrap around veranda with stunning iron lacework. Everything has been either painstakingly restored or replaced in this magnificent 4 bed, 4 bathroom home and renovations of this caliber are rare but so deserved on this beautiful grand home. The renovations that have occurred have been sympathetic to the original home carrying on the high ceilings throughout, some with pressed metal features, but with modern additions such as underfloor heating in bathrooms, ducted air conditioning, a full surveillance system, fully insulated, copper tap wear throughout, new inground heated mineral pool, floodlit tennis court and a floorplan tailormade for easy living or entertaining.
