Rediscover the grace and charm of a bygone era with a heritage-listed haven rich in Brisbane history. An iconic Queenslander, "Mills House" stands proudly at the heart of a sprawling 2,590m2 estate and forms an integral part of the fabric of Yeronga's days of old. Painstakingly restored and impeccable in every way, today this Federation style masterpiece serves both as a prestigious link to the past and a superb home for future generations to relish.

Surrounded by distinguished residences and in one of the area's most desirable pockets, "Mills House" is a treasured heirloom which has seen generations of families call this estate home. Once the principal residence of former prominent Brisbane Printer, John Mills, here you can relish the old-world craftsmanship and grandeur and enjoy the finest in family living.

Nestled amongst established gardens where mature Tallowwood trees punctuate the landscape, all the traditional hallmarks you'd expect from a home of this era await. Wide, gabled verandas encircle the house, VJ walls, polished floors and leadlight windows adorn the interiors plus an ornate fireplace and high ceilings add to the original character and charm. Paired with this are modern touches, including a sleek kitchen that blends the best of old meets new.

Multiple living zones await too, ready to give all the family space to unwind in style. A grand living and dining zone is tucked beneath a soaring 4.2m ceiling with a richly restored leadlight inset, while the light and bright games room enjoys a seamless flow onto the veranda. Escape to the cosy sunroom with a good book or find yourself one of many pockets of joy to sit back and soak up the greenery of the grounds from this wraparound perch.

The tones of enduring beauty continue with the bedrooms. A north-facing master bedroom is a sunny sanctuary to retreat to, with an ensuite for your convenience. Three more bedrooms – all with built-in robes – also await, along with an authentic bathroom with tessellated tiling and a clawfoot bath.

Those desiring more independence are catered for with a separate studio with bathroom or unleash your creativity and dedicate this space to your chosen hobby or pastime. Other features include air-conditioning and ceiling fans, a home office and parking for four cars.
