Designed by renowned Ipswich architect Will Haenke, the distinctive Californian Bungalow style was derived from information sent home by his brother Mark, who had emigrated to California shortly after the San Francisco earthquake in the early 1900s. The residence was originally occupied by their other brother Harry and his family who resided at Booeebie until shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbour in December 1941, before relocating to Brisbane.   

The front façade of the residence consists of a large gabled front verandah, which is accessed by wide sweeping steps. To the left of the formal entrance is a cloak room and to the right is the grand parlour room measuring approx. 33’x 13’6” with open fireplace and featuring two bay windows. 

Moving down the hall, access is gained to the three bedrooms, formal dining room, bathroom and study. Light and warmth radiates through bi-folding casement windows into the magnificent sunroom, which is also used as an informal living area. 

The kitchen, (overlooking the pool entertaining area), is Tasmanian Oak with a Monet double sink, insinkerator and new Bosch appliances, including gas cook top and on demand hot water system.  

The natural gas heated in ground pool is surrounded by paving and tropical gardens, which are watered by an automatic irrigation system. The residence overlooks Queens Park and is only a short distance to both public and private schools, and all modes of transport. The C.B.D., shops and restaurants are also a short distance from the residence.
