247 LAMBERT ROAD, INDOOROOPILLY
This ideally northerly facing grand home ‘Iona’ sits on a 1267sqm block in a quiet section of Indooroopilly nearing the St Lucia golf course. Be reminded of a bygone era as this magnificent home was built in the late 1800s reminding those of a peaceful and simpler time.
With four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and under-house parking for two car spaces this substantial home is a fantastic and convenient living area roughly 17 kilometres away from Brisbane’s CBD. This very expansive home lets in much sunlight throughout the day creating a very airy and elegant feel.
Entering the regal home through the outdoor staircase leads to the wooden verandah that sweeps around the entire home overlooking the well-manicured and beautifully landscaped gardens. On the western side of the home sits the swimming pool amongst the gardens creating a peaceful and private sanctuary.
The horsehair plaster ceilings reach almost four metres high bringing a very luxurious and open feel to the heritage home with beautiful glass stained windows upon entrance. The stunning lounge room and dining areas also include considerable fireplaces to keep warm and cosy during the cold winter months. This impressive build comes with a history with previous owners Walter Thomas Robertson and his wife Mona Robertson buying the house in the early 1900s and having been Brisbane identities who made an impact on the area with a park and street named after the pair.
A nearby street is named Iona Terrace after the popular and grandeur home while the park situated across the road is named Robertson Park. The St Lucia golf club also takes the beautiful home’s name for its Iona Cup. With only a walk away from Brisbane city’s convenient transport, this stately home has it all in a suburban but city centred suburb.
