Positioned in one of New Farm's most tightly held pockets, 25 Browne Street presents an exceptional opportunity to own a substantial Queenslander that combines more than a century of history with beautifully considered contemporary living.
Known as "Eastbourne", House No. 16 in Homes with History on the New Farm Peninsula, the residence was completed in 1901 and retains a remarkable collection of original details. Soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork, leadlight and stained glass, polished timber floors and two original fireplaces are complemented by a sophisticated renovation designed for modern family living.
The north-easterly front verandah captures city glimpses and opens to an impressive entry hallway, where soaring ceilings and an original ornate plaster ceiling immediately showcase the home's architectural character. Four skylights bring additional natural light throughout the residence, while polished floors run across the main level, with European oak parquetry flooring defining the kitchen and dining areas.
The brand-new kitchen is a standout, finished with stone benchtops and a waterfall edge, bespoke timber cabinetry and a large walk-in pantry with air-conditioning. A stunning internal overhanging garden adds a unique connection to the outdoors, while high-end appliances include a Liebherr fridge and freezer, Gaggenau oven and steam oven, Zip tap with instant hot, cold and sparkling water and a Vintec wine fridge.
The adjoining dining room features one of the home's original fireplaces and opens directly to the large elevated covered timber deck, creating an effortless connection between the home and its leafy surroundings. The mineral swimming pool provides a secluded outdoor setting for entertaining and family life, while a watering system services both the established gardens and kitchen garden.
The main level accommodates four generously sized bedrooms. The main bedroom features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the main bathroom includes a beautiful stained glass feature window. The formal lounge is another character-rich space, featuring the second original fireplace, while a separate family living area provides additional space for everyday living.
Downstairs, two spacious rooms provide exceptional flexibility. One can be utilised as a spacious fifth bedroom or multipurpose rumpus/home office with direct street access, while the second offers an additional substantial living or storage area. The lower level also includes a substantial fourth bathroom and combined laundry, making this level particularly well suited to flexible family living or those running a home business.
Practicality has been carefully considered throughout, with ducted air-conditioning across the main level, air-conditioning to the kitchen pantry, an alarm security system and abundant storage. An electric driveway gate and garage door provide secure access to the property, while generous parking and storage areas offer capacity for up to four vehicles.
