106 Browne Street, New Farm, Qld 4005

Beautifully elevated to capture nature’s elements, this charming quintessential Queenslander offers a perfect marriage of yesterday's heritage appeal with today's creature comforts. It’s located in the sweet spot of New Farm that allows for an easy walk to schools, the river, shops, and James Street’s cafes, bars and restaurants.

Lovingly restored to offer multiple up/down living and entertaining options, the home offers something to everyone. Let's start upstairs.

The front veranda is private, lit up by an ever-green garden and perfect for a wintery morning sun soak or a cool summer session in the afternoon. It's big enough for two or a dozen, the Webber could definitely live here.

Upon entry, you're greeted with classic Queenslander features – Hoop Pine flooring, vertical joined walls, French windows, fret work and a central corridor with 3 bedrooms off to the left and right. One bedroom is now the library with extensive bookshelves. Its tall timber bi-fold doors can be closed to return it to a bedroom or to make smaller spaces for winter warming. Two more upstairs bedrooms have built-in robes and storage space. The second of these is currently an office. The front bedroom and the library/bedroom both open to the veranda with French windows and timber louvered doors.

The generous and well-planned kitchen has a 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, double fridge cavity and plenty of cupboard space including a pantry. Timber bi-fold windows open to the beautiful backyard looking out to the wisteria covered pergola, established trees and the broader green neighbourhood.

A formal dining space flows off the kitchen, and when its bi-fold windows are open this room feels like a sheltered veranda, full of light and gentle breezes. Through thoughtful renovation with a light touch the house has maintained a wonderful airflow and lines of sight from front to back.

The upstairs bathroom with claw foot bath and flooded with light from high windows is accessed via an alcove that includes a generous linen cupboard.

Rear stairs take you to the ground floor with its summer kitchen, BBQ area and entertaining space and the 4th bedroom and 2nd bathroom. It’s been a great space for parties and Christmas celebrations or a cool sundowner and casual dinner with friends. Heavy timber doors with steel frames open to connect this space to a courtyard and the backyard.

A light and airy Japanese inspired master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite looks back towards the garden. Two large sliding doors open to the stairs and summer kitchen where you can make a brew as you wake up for the day. There is further ample storage downstairs and a well-ventilated laundry. The secure garage is high and big enough for a family sized vehicle. It includes a workshop space and is big enough to store your classic motorbike collection...

This home feels great, the sun filters through an abundance of trees, and there are so many lovely connections to the outside and views across the neighbourhood. This home allows you to move with the seasons and work, play and live as you wish and please. It's a beautiful home filled with character, quality workmanship and good energy.
