$4,250,000
In a city where land is finite and tightly held, opportunities like this are generational holdings.
Commanding a rare 810sqm across two lots on one of Red Hill's most coveted streets, this is true inner city acreage in its purest form. A property where the boundary dissolves into parkland, where Woolcock Park becomes an extension of your garden, and where children run freely across acres of green as though the city feels a world away.
More than a residence, this is a true generational home. A once in a lifetime offering designed to grow with a family through every season. From toddlers taking their first steps on the lawn, to teenagers seeking independence, to grandparents desiring proximity while maintaining privacy, the scale and flexibility of this estate allows multiple generations to live harmoniously under one roof while enjoying space, dignity and comfort.
Standing proudly for more than a century, this timeless Queenslander has been masterfully transformed, honouring its heritage while embracing a refined contemporary standard of living. The gabled façade and commanding 20 metre frontage set a tone of quiet prestige, while the rare dual 20 metre frontage to both the street and the park creates an extraordinary sense of openness rarely found this close to the CBD.
Inside, soaring 11 foot pressed metal ceilings rise to a dramatic 15 foot void. Original coat of arms breezeways, polished timber floors and leadlight glass speak to craftsmanship of another era. The home feels anchored in history, yet elevated for modern family life, carefully curated to endure for the next hundred years.
A sunlit sleepout offers a peaceful sitting retreat, while expansive living and dining zones gather around a statement kitchen designed as the heart of the home. Appointed with Blaupunkt appliances, a generous butler's pantry and a striking 3.2 metre island, it invites conversation, celebration and connection across generations. Entertaining flows seamlessly onto the granite balcony, where treetop vistas and birdsong create a sanctuary atmosphere and the flat lawn below unfolds as a private playground that blends effortlessly into the surrounding parkland.
The home expands gracefully across levels, creating natural separation for evolving family needs. A light-filled loft crowned by skylights provides a retreat for teenagers, guests or creative pursuits, while the lower level living zone and dedicated media retreat offer an ideal domain for older children, extended family or long term guests. With direct access to the park and a leafy alfresco terrace, this level supports independent living while remaining intrinsically connected to the main residence.
Designed for substantial family living, six bedrooms and four newly appointed bathrooms provide exceptional flexibility. Five beautifully proportioned bedrooms include bespoke custom made built in robes, one with private ensuite and two framed by original bay windows. The primary suite is a serene parents' sanctuary, where morning light filters gently through breezes, complemented by a dual wing walk in robe and an exquisitely appointed ensuite.
Beyond its architectural beauty lies its greatest luxury, land. Level, expansive and future focused. With room for a swimming pool and room for further development, the estate offers genuine versatility for decades ahead. Expand the footprint, enhance recreation, accommodate future generations or simply hold and preserve one of Red Hill's most remarkable inner city acreages.
This is more than a residence. It is a home that grows with its family and to be cherished as a legacy.
