There's something wonderfully enchanting about Murrumba. A home with the elegance, craftsmanship and charm of another era, beautifully complemented by the comforts and practicality of today.
Built in 1937, this remarkable cavity-brick residence is a fine example of architecture and workmanship from its time - and it has been lovingly preserved. From the moment you step inside, the character is unmistakable, with exquisite leadlight doors, beautiful Australian redwood timber floors, silky oak skirting and doors, and soaring ornate ceilings creating an atmosphere that is both impressive and incredibly inviting.
And while the period details steal the show, the home itself is wonderfully practical.
Three oversized bedrooms include a generous main suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, while a separate study provides the perfect space to work from home. There are formal and informal living areas, offering plenty of flexibility for family living, entertaining or, if desired, conversion to additional bedrooms.
The separate eat-in kitchen adds to the home's traditional appeal, while outdoors there is a lovely entertaining area - the perfect place to relax, entertain friends or simply enjoy the surrounds.
The two bathrooms are equally captivating, with the main bathroom retaining its original terrazzo flooring and striking black and yellow English wall tiles, made in 1936. Remarkably, they remain in pristine condition and are a beautiful reminder of the quality and attention to detail found throughout this exceptional home.
A double lock-up garage with internal access completes the practical side of the home.
Positioned proudly on a blue-chip corner parcel, surrounded by quality homes and within easy reach of fast city transport, local cafés, shops, schools and an array of everyday conveniences, Murrumba offers something increasingly rare - genuine period character, beautifully preserved, in a wonderfully convenient location.
Sophisticated without being pretentious, grand without feeling imposing, this is a home with a story, a sense of place and an undeniable warmth.
Murrumba isn't simply a beautiful old home. It's a piece of Brisbane's architectural history, ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.
