Overview

Century-Held New Farm Queenslander with History, Heart and Potential

Auction Location: ON-SITE Rising gently from its 425m² allotment, with 15-metre frontage, this 1923 Queenslander stands as a quiet constant within New Farm, its single-level façade and traditional form offering an immediate sense of familiarity and belonging. Held by the same family, with ownership dating back to 1916, the home reflects more than a century of continuity, care and deep connection to the local community. Framed by mature planting and neighbouring character homes, it presents with warmth and ease, hinting at the layers of history and everyday life held within. A welcoming sunroom introduces the home and sets the tone for a layout that balances separation with natural flow, allowing the interiors to adapt and evolve with modern living while retaining the hallmarks of a classic Queenslander. High ceilings and well-placed casement windows draw in natural light and encourage cross-breezes, enhancing the home's generous proportions and creating spaces that feel open, airy and comfortable. Semi-open in design, the living area forms a natural gathering point, connecting seamlessly to the dining space and kitchen via a servery-style opening. This thoughtful plan supports both daily routines and relaxed entertaining, reinforcing the home's practical, family-focused character. The kitchen is equipped with laminate benchtops, generous cabinetry and freestanding cooktop and oven, offering a solid foundation with clear scope for reimagining. Accommodation comprises three generously sized bedrooms, each benefiting from high ceilings and natural light. The traditional sunroom provides a flexible additional space suited to reading, working from home or quiet retreat, while a separate multipurpose room adds further versatility. The bathroom has been renovated with full-height tiling and a walk-in shower, delivering a comfortable and accessible layout that sits naturally within the home's original framework. Below the home, an additional bathroom and laundry are accompanied by a mix of enclosed rooms and open areas, presenting exciting scope for storage, creative pursuits or future development, subject to council approval. This lower level adds flexibility and potential, allowing the home to grow and change while remaining grounded in its past. Outdoors, the rear yard unfolds as a private, leafy backdrop, with established trees creating a sense of seclusion and calm. There is room to shape outdoor living areas, gardens or play spaces over time, while side access and existing car accommodation enhance everyday practicality without detracting from the home's character. Centrally positioned, the address sits within walking distance of New Farm Park, riverwalks, the ferry terminal and leading local schools, with James Street, Howard Smith Wharves, Gasworks and Merthyr Village all close by. Homes offering this depth of history and future promise are rarely available. For those seeking a long-term family residence, a thoughtful renovation project or a blue-chip landholding, this is an opportunity to become the next custodians of a Queenslander ready for another generation.
