Opportunities like this are almost unheard of. The scale, the location, the historic significance - they simply cannot be replicated. With vision and care, this property can be transformed into one of Brisbane's most prestigious estates, blending its timeless character with modern luxury.
This is more than real estate - this is legacy. A blue-chip landholding, a historic residence in need of restoration, and a future that holds limitless potential.
It is, quite simply, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - and it will be sold."
Commanding a prestigious corner position in one of Graceville's most tightly held pockets, The Gables is an iconic Federation estate of historic significance, designed and constructed c.1916 by renowned Brisbane builder Walter Taylor.
Set across a rare and sprawling 2,011m2 parcel, this landmark residence offers more than just a glimpse into the elegance of a bygone era - it presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of the suburb's largest landholdings, including an additional 660m2 allotment that elevates its scale, lifestyle and future potential.
The home's stately four-level design is a showcase of timeless character, introduced by a sweeping entrance hall and grand silky oak staircase. Traditional bay windows, ornate ceilings and French doors preserve its heritage beauty, while fireplaces across multiple living rooms ensure warmth and charm throughout the seasons.
Manicured grounds extend the living and entertaining experience, with an outdoor fireplace, water fountain and sweeping lawns creating the perfect backdrop for private leisure, sporting pursuits, and grand celebrations.
Offering versatility for families of all sizes, the home features seven bedrooms, a sunroom, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, and multipurpose spaces that lend themselves to work, relaxation, or recreation. The master retreat is complete with a private ensuite and walk-in robe, while elevated levels capture rare city views.
The additional 660m2 parcel sets this estate apart, unlocking exciting possibilities - whether that be enhanced landscaping, recreational additions, or exploring future development options. Very few properties in Brisbane's prestigious inner-west offer such scale, privacy and opportunity in a blue-chip position.
