One of New Farm's most incredible addresses and one of three iconic, once identical residences on Merthyr Road, 'Linsdale' is a heritage-listed colonial home that effortlessly combines historical charm with modern potential. Positioned on a 503sqm allotment with dual street access in the highly sought-after lifestyle of New Farm, this property offers a wealth of possibilities.

Currently utilised as an investment property, each of the four units features dual entry access, an open-plan design with polished hardwood floors, and air-conditioning in the living areas. The units are equipped with gas cooktops, and the property includes a rear two-car carport with access from Lower Bowen Terrace.

Located at the rear of the house, units three and four feature one-bedroom, a combined living and dining area adjoining the kitchen.

Built adjacent to two exemplary homes, this property showcases the potential for transformation and consolidation if you choose to renovate.
