A Landmark Federation residence of timeless character, privacy, and presence.

Regarded as a remarkable Federation era residence, where more than a century of history, craftsmanship and architectural character has been thoughtfully carried into contemporary living.

Affectionately known as "Queen of the Hill", the home is believed to have been constructed between 1904 and 1910 for the then Mayor of Lismore.

39 James Street occupies a privileged position within the dress-circle enclave of Girards Hill, surrounded by established gardens and enjoying an elevated northerly outlook towards the Nightcap Ranges.

Beyond its elegant Federation façade lies a home that has been thoughtfully transformed to celebrate light, space, and its connection with the surrounding gardens. Generous interiors retain the beauty and craftsmanship of the original residence, with soaring ceilings, beautiful timber floors, French doors, and original fireplaces creating an enduring sense of character.

At the heart of the home, the contemporary kitchen connects effortlessly with the living and entertaining spaces. Indoor and outdoor areas flow naturally together, creating intimate places to retreat as well as generous spaces to gather with family and friends.

Set across approximately 1,069m², the mature gardens are an integral part of the home. Native plantings, established trees, water features and private terraces create a wonderfully secluded sanctuary, with greenery and natural light drawn into every room.

A beautifully designed studio adds another dimension, providing an inspiring space for creative pursuits, working from home or quiet retreat, while secure double garaging and generous off-street parking provide everyday practicality.

Despite its remarkable sense of privacy, the home remains just minutes from Lismore's CBD, hospitals, university, schools, galleries, cafés, and cultural precinct in one of the most distinctive and tightly held residential pockets.

Grand without being imposing and private without being isolated. Girards Hill combines architectural character, elevated leafy streetscapes and an enviable proximity to the heart of the city. Queen of the Hill offers something increasingly difficult to find, the space and serenity of a country retreat in the heart of one of Lismore.
