SINCE 1906, the 'Connamara' Estate has sat unchanged as the city of Toowoomba expanded outward, gobbling up pastures and fields. 

Now, the original Centenary Heights homestead is going under the hammer. 

135-137 Ramsay Street, Centenary

VIEW GALLERY

While the estate's dairy and fruit production lands have been sold off over the intervening century since it was built, the home is now positioned on a sprawling 1,922 sq m allotment, central to the city's amenities, at 135-137 Ramsay Street.  

The generously proportioned colonial residence sits behind a charming white picket fence, and the interior retains many of the original attributes of the turn-of-the-century home.

Polished timber floors, VJ walls, high 12 foot ceilings and stained-glass windows reflect the era of construction while harmoniously blending with contemporary living and entertaining areas.

The bull-nose verandah is decorated with ornate wrought iron balustrade and equipped with café blinds for year-round comfort.

The residence features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three living areas, two garage spaces, open fireplace, air conditioning, built-in wardrobes, a deck, outdoor entertaining area, and is fully fenced. 

The auction will take place on Tuesday, October 31 at 6pm, at the Audi Centre Toowoomba, corner of Herries and Clifford Sts.
