Steeped in history, character and old-world grandeur, this remarkable heritage-listed residence at 63 Hodgkinson Street, Charters Towers is far more than just a home — it is a significant part of the town’s story.
Designed by William White and built in the 1890s, the residence was entered on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992 and remains an exceptional example of the craftsmanship and architecture of its era.
Behind its striking façade lies an impressive two-storey Queenslander offering six bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple living areas and sweeping verandahs across both levels. Ornate cast-iron balustrading, timber handrails, soaring proportions and beautiful original features create a sense of elegance and grandeur rarely found today.
From the moment you step inside, the home makes an unforgettable impression. The grand entrance foyer showcases a striking black-and-white chequerboard Italian marble floor, a beautiful turned timber staircase with traditional brass stair rods, and an intricate panelled ceiling.
The main living area is warm and inviting, complete with a fireplace and French doors opening onto the verandah, allowing natural light and breezes to flow through the home. A beautiful formal dining room continues the traditional character and elegance of the property.
At the heart of the residence is the newly installed kitchen, introducing modern functionality while still complementing the scale and charm of this impressive historic home.
The accommodation is both generous and incredibly versatile. Downstairs offers three spacious bedrooms with ensuite facilities, while three rooms also present exciting potential for guest accommodation or Airbnb-style use, subject to any necessary approvals. This creates a unique opportunity for buyers looking to combine an extraordinary residence with the possibility of an additional income stream.
Upstairs continues to impress with a large formal living room, an adjoining bedroom with its own private balcony, and an expansive main bedroom opening directly onto the side verandah — the perfect place to take advantage of the breezes throughout the day. A private bathroom, separate toilet and additional butler’s kitchen complete the upper level.
Adding even more character is a small cellar within the home, while the traditional laundry quarters are positioned separately toward the rear of the property.
Outside, the residence becomes its own private retreat. An in-ground swimming pool and pool house provide a wonderful setting for entertaining, relaxing or accommodating guests, while approximately four car spaces are available at the rear.
A great deal of care and effort has gone into preserving and restoring this remarkable residence, with the aim of returning it to its former glory while ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Properties of this calibre, scale and historical significance are rarely offered to the market.
Whether you are searching for a truly extraordinary family residence, a prestigious heritage property, or a home with potential for boutique guest accommodation, 63 Hodgkinson Street presents an opportunity unlike anything else in Charters Towers.
