This stunning family home is the Complete Package. It not only offers you the best of all things old and new but it is sure to impress the fussiest of buyers. It embodies the old world charm of yesteryear whilst also offering every modern convenience you and your family could ever want.

The history of the home itself reads like a veritable who’s who of Ipswich History. The land that the home sits on was purchased in 1904 from the family of the then Ipswich Mayor Mr. Pettigrew. The home was then constructed in 1907 for Jeanie Whitehead, wife or renowned local photographer Francis Arnold Whitehead. In 1921 it was purchased by Joseph Foote and Wilfred Foote, grandson of John Foote the co-founder of Cribb & Foote.

In 1925 it was purchased by Marian Parkinson and Hugh Parkinson, the Director of The Queensland Times and son of the founder. In 1961 it was acquired by Roderick Foote and Harry Victor Gibbs, a local solicitor of note whose son Sir Harry Talbot Gibbs later went on to become the 8th Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. The property subsequently had two more owners who loved and nurtured the home until it was again sold in 2014 and fully renovated to the perfection it represents today!

This breathtakingly beautiful period home is positioned amongst some of Ipswichs’ most exclusive and expensive homes yet it is conveniently located off the main road. Therefore it is not prone to excessive traffic noise but still boasts the same locale and proximity to Ipswich public and private schools and hospitals, the University as well as the Ipswich CBD, shops, electric train and sporting/recreation facilities.

This home has truly been a labour of love. The thought and attention to detail is mind boggling. Starting with the external house colours and manicured lawns and gardens and moving through to kitchen and bathroom design and construction. The quality of the workmanship and the calibre of the fixtures and fittings is a cut above anything else available in the Ipswich real estate market today!
