Originally built in 1888 by Bundaberg Beer Baron Gustav Steindl, beside the Bywash, which at the time was a beautiful lake. Hence the name “Lakeside” as it overlooked the lake at the time. The award Winning Brewery was built close by. The Brewery won four medals in a Commonwealth Brewing Competition in 1894 and Gustav’s ale and lager were considered to be among the best in the Country. He also owned five hotels in Bundaberg. The residence “Lakeside” with its grand sized ballroom was considered to be at the center of Bundaberg’s Society for almost 40 years, with its 2.7 metre wide full-length verandahs in the front and along both sides of the house, it was and still is a grand residence. Now situated at the head of a quiet Cul-de-sac on a perfectly level 2837m2 allotment with mature gardens, only minutes from the centre of the CBD, it offers much in its 70 squares (650m2) of sprawling space. One enters via the front door and is greeted by the massive hallway, seemingly to stretch on forever, with its appealing width and its soaring ceilings. Once stepping inside the hallway, immediately on your right, is the huge double lounge room with its soaring ceilings and abundant space. As you walk through the lounge you will find at the far end of the room through the double doors an impressive dining room, which invites one to sit and enjoy a grand dinner party with many others, around a large dinner table. As you walk down the hall to the sprawling formal living room, (once the ballroom) you pass many bedrooms, five in total, plus a modern bathroom. On the other side of the informal living room, you find a modern timber kitchen and adjoining casual family room with direct access to the verandah. Opening from the family room is a private study, laundry and bathroom. This magnificent Queenslander offers style and elegance that is truly unique and is a quality collector’s item.
