82 Clay Street, New Farm, Qld 4005

No other address in New Farm offers this perfectly balanced lifestyle on the peninsula. From your front steps, you’re genuinely just a 12-minute walk in any direction to Coles, James Street, Howard Smith Wharves, New Farm Park, the river, and Teneriffe.

Step inside this beautifully preserved 1890s workers’ cottage and you’ll immediately feel at home. Original hoop pine floors, VJ walls, 3-metre ceilings and glorious north-facing light create timeless charm that feels warm and inviting. The entire interior was repainted in late 2024, with smart new storage added in the bedrooms and living areas for effortless everyday living.

The modern kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with a modern oven, induction cooktop, dishwasher, quality tapware and reverse-osmosis filtered water. The family-friendly bathroom features both a separate bath and shower — ideal for relaxing evenings or busy mornings with little ones. Additional comforts and features include a skylight filling the living room with natural light, split-system air conditioning throughout, ceiling fans in both bedrooms, and gas hot water.

Open the bi-fold doors and the kitchen and living spaces flow seamlessly onto a large deck and fully manicured garden. This is genuine indoor-outdoor living — perfect for weekend entertaining, or simply watching the kids and dog play safely. Prefer the classic approach? Take the front stairs. Need practicality? Use the easy side access.

At the rear of the elevated 225m² north-facing block, the Brisbane CBD skyline comes into view — a daily reminder of what’s possible. Several neighbouring Clay Street homes have already raised their cottages to create stunning rooftop decks and modern family homes. As a pre-1946 character property, the pathway to transforming this charming cottage into a standout residence is clear, proven, and entirely on your terms.
