Moreton was built in 1901, and was formerly used as a school. The home's large rooms and high ceilings made it perfect for its past use, but recent modifications have turned the home into a vast comfortable home, that embraces the Queensland lifestyle.

The house is more than 1,000sqm, spread over three levels, and has 16 rooms. The bedrooms are generous, a large family room looks out to spectacular views, and wide verandahs wrap around the house.

Original features include pressed metal ceilings, a cedar-panelled hallway, extravagant dual staircases, bay windows, and lead lighting. Contemporary finishes include a wine cellar, air-conditioning, flood lights on the tennis court, comprehensive security, and a four-car garage.

The property is close to schools, shops, sporting facilities, and hospitals, and is only 15 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD.

The home will go to auction on 13 December, but the owners are encouraging offers before then.
