Perched high on a generous 949m² in central Ashmore, The White House is an impressive Queenslander of generous proportions, infused with history and brimming with character with land to offer separation and privacy from your neighbours.
Originally built in Main Beach, this home once served as both a family residence and later as offices for the Americans stationed there during WWI. Relocated and lovingly restored, it remains architecturally significant and historically valuable.
Beyond the iron gates and white picket fence, a family-centric lifestyle unfolds. Children can play under jacaranda trees, swim in the crystal blue pool, or slip through the ‘secret’ back gate to Chaucer Park and playground beyond.
Wraparound verandas overlooking the leafy gardens and pool provide sheltered, generous spaces to gather with friends and family, play ping-pong, entertain - this is where memories are made.
Inside, the scale throughout the home surprises. Rambling yet intimate, every room reveals thoughtful details: leadlight windows, VJ walls, picture rails, copper basins, and bespoke timber joinery, French doors, all while timber floors underfoot give the home a warm, elemental feel.
The brand new kitchen is both functional and beautiful, finished with "Taj Mahal" stone benchtops, Fisher & Paykel appliances, and soft-close cabinetry.
Downstairs, a fully self-contained flat adds remarkable versatility. Ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or students, it allows family members to live together while enjoying independence and privacy.
Throughout, the home balances expansive proportions with intimate, nurturing spaces. It is homely, yet impressive in scale; historic in spirit, yet modern in comfort and timeless charm.
Additional features include:
• Generous master bedroom with unique designer ensuite bathroom and separate loo
• 3 more bedrooms upstairs with built wardrobe space
• Family bathroom with shower and laundry chute for convenience
• Formal dining, formal and informal living areas that would make an ideal home office area open to the expansive back veranda overlooking the pool
