A landmark opportunity in the heart of New Farm, this exceptionally rare traditional Queenslander commands a premium dual-frontage, double-lot single title just minutes from Brisbane's CBD. Held by one family for more than 50 years, the flood-free 549sqm parcel with 15-metre frontages is one of the last remaining undeveloped original homes on historic Abbott Street, positioned within Low-Medium Density Residential zoning.
The property offers substantial scope (STCA): renovate and raise the existing residence into a distinguished luxury home, create a sophisticated dual-living or multigenerational design with independent street access, explore subdivision and development potential, or simply move straight in and enjoy the home as it stands today. The options of this home supports a range of considered architectural outcomes, both now and into the future.
Elevated and capturing city views, the residence remains in pristine condition. Original hoop pine floors, refined hallway fretwork and 11-foot ceilings with metal roses reflect its heritage integrity. VJ walls and ceilings, sash and hopper windows, and French doors are retained throughout.
Accommodation comprises four generous bedrooms, a family bathroom, sunroom, kitchen and meals area, and formal lounge and dining rooms opening to the covered front verandah with distinctive half-moon detailing. This welcoming verandah provides a wonderful setting for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining, perfectly suited to alfresco dining while enjoying the peaceful outlook. The original garage, accessed from Reginald Street provides additional storage. At the rear of the home, a private oasis of established gardens and a covered pavilion offer further entertainment options. There is also a separate laundry building with a drying court, plus extensive under-house garaging and storage.
