Positioned high on sought-after Gabba Hill, this grand Queenslander combines traditional character, elevated city views and exceptional versatility on a generous 809sqm corner block. Owned by the same family since 1940, the home retains the charm of a classic Brisbane home, with VJ walls, timber arches, picture rails and impressive 3.3-metre ceilings upstairs, complemented by a desirable northern rear aspect overlooking the city.
The home was raised in 2021 and thoughtfully repositioned towards the corner of the block, creating the potential to subdivide the rear portion of the land, subject to council approval. The proposed rear lot would benefit from its own frontage to School Street, while the level yard alongside the existing home provides space for a pool or carport, allowing the house to retain its functionality and appeal on a smaller lot.
Spanning two levels, the home has been exceptionally well maintained over the years and offers outstanding versatility for growing families. Upstairs, a near-new kitchen complements the traditional Queenslander character, while updated carpets protect the wide hoop pine floorboards beneath. Downstairs, a self-contained studio with its own kitchen, bathroom and patio area provides excellent flexibility for extended family, guests or independent living.
The opposite side of the lower level offers further scope to build in additional accommodation, with a concrete slab already in place and plumbing ready for a bathroom.
A 9m x 6m powered shed provides ample car accommodation and workshop space, with two electric roller doors and a garden shed area behind, while established, beautifully maintained gardens and mature trees surround the home.
Woolloongabba is undergoing significant transformation, with Cross River Rail, the proposed Gabba Entertainment Precinct featuring a new arena, and further investment in residential, retail and entertainment offerings reshaping the area. The upgraded Boggo Road Station and Busway provide excellent connectivity, including convenient access to the University of Queensland across the river. With the CBD, South Bank and West End close by, this is your opportunity to secure a substantial character residence with future upside in Brisbane’s inner south.
