Some homes are built to impress. Others have a story to tell. This extraordinary Queenslander does both.
Built circa 1880–1885 and proudly positioned on a generous 607m² allotment, this remarkable four-bedroom residence represents a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Brisbane's architectural history.
Beautifully preserved, extensively renovated and rich in original character, this is not simply another Queenslander. It is a home that has stood the test of time, retaining the craftsmanship and individuality that make properties of this era so special.
A Home With History in Every Detail, from the moment you step inside, the sense of history is unmistakable.
Soaring 11-foot ceilings, original wide Hoop Pine timber floors and traditional tongue-and-groove walls create an immediate feeling of warmth, space and character.
Original cast-iron door locks, decorative ceiling roses, Victorian cornices and beautiful coloured etched glass speak to an era when homes were built with an extraordinary level of care and attention.
One of the property's most remarkable features is its original wraparound verandah, enclosed around 1915 with stunning silky oak hopscotch windows. More than a century later, these architectural treasures remain, providing a beautiful reminder of the home's heritage.
With four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and inviting living and entertaining spaces, the residence offers the flexibility and comfort required for contemporary family living without compromising its historical charm.
Beautifully Preserved. Thoughtfully Modernised.
A substantial renovation in 2002 was undertaken with one clear objective: protect everything that makes this home special while introducing the comforts and conveniences of modern living.
Period-style bathrooms, including beautiful tessellated tiles, complement the home's traditional features, while the rear verandah creates an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying Queensland's outdoor lifestyle.
The character-filled sitting room features a traditional fireplace surround and mantelpiece, adding another layer of warmth and charm.
Thoughtful improvements, including acoustic insulation to most internal rooms, ceiling fans, upgraded services and carefully restored architectural features, ensure this historic residence is as practical as it is beautiful.
Beyond its beautiful interiors, the property offers something increasingly sought-after: a substantial 607m² parcel of land combined with exceptional storage and garaging.
An expansive four-car garage and workshop beneath the home provides room for vehicles, tools, hobbies and additional storage, with convenient internal staircase access.
Approximately 21,000 litres of rainwater storage, a dual-filtration system and an established solar installation add further practicality.
The property also features double-gate access from the rear adjoining easement, offering flexibility for future access requirements.
