Held on an expansive parcel along tree-lined Moreton Street, 'Garnock' is a living chapter of Brisbane's architectural heritage. Built c.1895 as one of the four celebrated 'Willcock's Houses', this iconic residence stands as a landmark where every room tells a story.
Originally designed by architect Claude William Chambers, Garnock was thoughtfully reimagined in 2012 through an extensive, award-winning renovation by Stuart Vokes of Vokes and Peters. Honouring the past and elevated for contemporary living, the residence now awaits its next chapter and a new family to breathe light and life into its historic halls.
From the moment you arrive, stained-glass entrance windows set the tone, leading into interiors rich with ornate ceiling roses, soaring 3.7-metre ceilings, cast-iron detailing, and graceful arched motifs. Breezes drift effortlessly through the home, natural light filters softly across rooms, and the gentle soundtrack of birdsong underscores daily life.
Designed for gathering and retreat, the home unfolds into two living rooms and a beautiful Tasmanian oak custom library, inviting quiet reflection and shared moments. At its heart, the kitchen and dining area form a place of connection, with bench seating encouraging conversation and premium appliances elevating everyday cooking. In summer, days spill onto the balcony and alfresco terrace, embracing the gardens, lawns and saltwater pool for long lunches, play and evenings beneath the trees. In winter, four fireplaces, both indoors and out, draw family and friends together, creating warmth and memories.
The main house comprises four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an upstairs primary suite complete with a marble fireplace, walk-in robe and ensuite. Below, additional bedrooms include one with an ensuite, another with a retreat, and a fourth with a built-in robe. Privately fenced, the property also offers side access to off-street parking and a separate studio, providing independence with a kitchenette and bathroom.
Nestled in New Farm's leafy streets, 'Garnock' offers a lifestyle of beauty and leisure. With Merthyr Village, New Farm Park and the Riverwalk steps away, schools at your door, and the CBD 2.5km from home, this inner-city address is connected to the best of Brisbane.
