Set on a sprawling 1134 square metre allotment, over 3 lots is' Miralee' - once grand old lady oozing heritage, class and finesse. Built in 1914, this superb example of unique Toowoomba architecture still retains many of the original features. Located in the heritage listed Caledonian Estate, this 5-bedroom home shares a quiet cul-de-sac with gorgeous renovated homes. Imagine being able to walk a few minutes to some of the most prestigious schools in Toowoomba, Queens Park, restaurants, theatres and the city's fabulous heart.
Framing the impressive fa�ade are two towering pines, planted by the original owners (the Watson Family), in 1914. These gorgeous trees reflect the grand proportions of the historic home. Up the stairs and onto the original wrap around verandah, with beautiful iron lace, is the once revered living room and formal lounge. Reminiscent of a bygone era, with intact features such as tongue and groove walls and ceilings, fan lights, appealing timber floors (under carpet), stained glass panels (Federation colours) and a fireplace, the rooms are grand in scale, elegant in design and have a regal ambience. The stunning pressed metal ceiling in the living room is an outstanding example of opulence from that era. The Federation style bay window, under the front gable, gives a delightful feel to the sizeable master bedroom. The remaining 4 bedrooms along the eastern side, have double-hung timber windows and tongue and groove boards on the walls and ceilings. The kitchen, dining and bathroom have undergone various changes over the years and would benefit from a sympathetic renovation, to the north-east. The allotment runs from north to south through to Austral Lane, where there is ample room for multiple vehicles.
Opportunities to own a property with so many original features and so much potential, in such a desirable location, are rare. Almost in the middle of town, and perched on 3 lots, with 2 street access, 7 Stirling Street presents as an extremely exciting opportunity. Always admired, ' Miralee' has the right pedigree to be restored, loved and brimming with life again.
