25 Lutwyche Street, Petrie Terrace, Qld 4000 - More Details
For Sale
Offering the independence and privacy of a freestanding home with the convenience of an inner-city lifestyle, this charming 1880s cottage presents a rare alternative to apartment or townhouse living.
Occupying just 112m2 and understood to be Brisbane's third-smallest freehold residential allotment, the property is a unique piece of the city's history. Its remarkably compact footprint, prominent position and traditional character have made it an iconic and instantly recognisable inner-city landmark.
Filled with natural light and warmth, the cottage retains original features including polished timber floors, VJ walls, decorative fretwork and a traditional fireplace. These are complemented by a modern kitchen, beautifully renovated bathroom with premium finishes and ducted air conditioning throughout.
Previously re-roofed and re-stumped, the property provides a comfortable and character-filled home with many of the significant improvements already completed.
Despite its central location, the home is surprisingly peaceful, with virtually no noticeable Hale Street or surrounding street noise.
The enclosed front verandah provides a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee, while the covered carport can also serve as a private outdoor entertaining area when required. During major events, you are close enough to enjoy the atmosphere and live music from nearby Suncorp Stadium-all from the comfort of home.
With virtually no yard maintenance and no body corporate, the property delivers the freedom of a freestanding house without the usual upkeep. It is ideally suited to busy professionals, medical professionals, first-home buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a distinctive and highly convenient inner-city property.
From this tightly held Petrie Terrace address, you can walk to the Caxton Street dining and entertainment precinct, The Barracks, Suncorp Stadium, Roma Street Parkland and the Brisbane CBD. The home is also conveniently positioned near Brisbane's major hospital and medical precincts, including St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital, Brisbane Private Hospital and the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Girls Grammar School, local cafe's, public transport and many of the city's leading lifestyle destinations are also within easy reach.
As Brisbane continues its transformation towards the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the property is exceptionally positioned near major inner-city infrastructure and sporting precincts, including Suncorp Stadium, Roma Street and the planned Games facilities at Victoria Park.
