Historic 1890s Queenslander – A Cherished Estate Rich with Classic Charm
For nearly 70 years, this classic single-level Queenslander has been cherished by multiple generations of the one family. Situated in a prestigious, poinciana-lined street, it's graced this 1176m² double block since 1890. And although substantial additions have been made as time passed, one thing remained the same – its welcoming warmth. Silky oak panelling, leadlight windows and original hoop pine floors accentuate its character and charm, while multiple living and dining zones (resting beneath high, decorative ceilings) provide the freedom to gather together or enjoy privacy apart.
Appointed with six bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study, it's also a home for all seasons. Winter nights are spent by the crackle of an open fire in the formal lounge; then come summer the BBQ area echoes with the sound of Sunday get-togethers and splashes from the oversized 12.5m pool. The enclosed wraparound verandah, lined with premium polished hardwood timber, is another favourite spot to linger year-round. Sip tea in the morning winter sun or savour the cool breezes that caress it on balmy afternoons. With LMR2 zoning (Low-Medium Density Residential), it also offers exciting future potential (STCA) in a blue-chip precinct close to cafes, shops, public transport and prominent schools.
Lovingly maintained by the same owners since 1957, it's now time for a new family to treasure this happy haven. Just 7km from the Airport and CBD, this is a rare chance to continue a heartwarming legacy – or create your own in a tightly held, sought-after setting. Arrange your inspection today.
