 Step back in time with this truly unique 19th-century colonial home, proudly perched on the high point of Raymond Hill. Originally located on North Street opposite the Railway Workshops, the home was relocated by bullock dray to its current elevated site following the 1893 floods — and it has stood proudly ever since, a living tribute to Ipswich’s rich heritage.

Showcasing the craftsmanship of its era, this character-filled home features original 12-inch hand-painted timber boards, three traditional bedrooms off a central hallway, a welcoming living room, and a spacious kitchen/dining area ideal for family gatherings.

To the rear, a large utility space — once used as a photographic darkroom — accompanies the main bathroom. Enclosed verandahs, completed decades ago, have helped preserve the flooring while enhancing internal space. Structural upgrades include a roof replacement, concrete stumps, and an electrical update, all contributing to the home’s lasting integrity.

A fascinating highlight of the property is the original outbuilding, constructed during World War II as a storage facility for the local volunteer fire brigade's uniforms and helmets — a rare historic addition.

Wander through the ancient garden, where century-old plantings create a tranquil, timeworn setting. A double garage offers secure parking, and even the outdoor water closet remains functional — a charming nod to the past.

Just minutes from the CBD, Riverlink Shopping Centre, schools, and major highway access.

Council Rates approx. $519.00 per quarter. Urban Utilities approx. $219.00 per quarter.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and preserve a piece of Ipswich’s living history.
