An estate cloaked in elegance and intention, offered within a tightly held pocket where sales are measured not in months, but in generations. Beyond its electric gates, framed flawlessly by formal hedging and lush gardens, the home has a presence that quiets the world and commands attention without raising its voice. Only the most perceptive will understand the rarity of the opportunity before them.
The façade alone reads like an ode to timeless craftsmanship: a sweeping bullnose verandah wrapped in delicate iron lacework, bay windows set with confidence toward the garden, and a sense of grandeur that is felt rather than declared. Eastcourt is not trying to impress - it simply does. For the intelligent, the influential, the buyer who values legacy as much as luxury, this is a home that will not only speak to you - it will stay with you.
This is a residence built not simply to be lived in, but to be adored.
Inside, the home unfolds with an effortless confidence. Polished hoop pine floors carry more than a century of footsteps, while soaring 13-foot ceilings, transom windows, and breezeways breathe light into every generous room. The original fireplaces - one marble-clad, both exquisite - anchor the living zones with a sense of grounding permanence, the kind only true heritage can offer.
And heritage here is no minor footnote.
Eastcourt was crafted around 1893 by esteemed Ipswich alderman Ebenezer Watson Hargreaves, who also created the iconic Merton. Later, it became home to the Ipswich Police Magistrate A.P.W. Tregear, and then to Josiah Francis, grandson of a former mayor and a man instrumental in the creation of the Soldiers’ Memorial Hall.
Still, the home doesn’t sit in the past. It thrives in the present.
The fully renovated chef’s kitchen stands as a testament to contemporary luxury, without ever disturbing the home’s Victorian soul. Shaker cabinetry pairs elegantly with 40mm blue pearl granite benchtops, a grand island anchors the space, parquetry flooring adds artistic detail, and the 5-burner gas cooktop and servery window create rhythm and practicality for modern family life.
The master suite is a private retreat - quiet, indulgent, and thoughtfully appointed with a generous walk-in robe and ensuite - while throughout the home, two beautifully curated bathrooms blend sophistication with subtle Victorian inspiration, including gun-metal grey fixtures, a spa bath and purposeful separation of spaces.
What truly distinguishes Eastcourt, however, is its sense of scale.
Multiple living zones, formal dining, natural skylights, and five beautifully appointed bedrooms create an abundance of internal space. Upstairs, a dedicated children’s getaway provides two oversized bedrooms, a separate bathroom, its own living area, and an exclusive deck that surveys the pool and gardens like a treehouse for grown-up imaginations.
Bi-fold doors extend the heart of the home seamlessly into the outdoors, where entertaining becomes not just an activity, but an experience. The alfresco space flows toward an extraordinary resort-style pool, complete with a cascading rock stream that sets the tone for long summer days and slow Sunday afternoons. Here, laughter carries, conversations linger, and time feels just a little softer.
With drive-through rear access, additional storage garages, a high carport, multiple deck areas and a fully fenced 1,447m² allotment, the estate balances practicality with prestige. Wrapped in privacy yet walking distance to Ipswich’s elite private schools, train stations and key amenities, Eastcourt sits in what is undeniably one of the city’s most coveted pockets.
Eastcourt is not merely an executive family residence - it’s a celebration of grand living.
A home that blends modern opulence with the best of yesteryear, where luxury meets warmth, and where every detail speaks to the enduring elegance of those who shaped its story. It is rare, it is remarkable, and it is ready for its next chapter.
