Capturing the romance of a bygone era and the ease of modern acreage living. Perfectly blending rural tranquility with city convenience, this breathtaking Queenslander sits just minutes from Manly, Bulimba, the Port of Brisbane, the local train station, the airport and the CBD, offering the rare luxury of space and serenity so close to it all.
Originally built circa 1900, this much-loved residence has had just two families live in the property in its lifetime. It was lovingly relocated from Beaudesert to its private 3516 m² sanctuary, where it now rests surrounded by wide lawns, mature trees and the gentle hum of nature.
From the moment you step onto the wraparound veranda, there's an unmistakable sense of warmth and welcome. The home's soaring ceilings, decorative fretwork, polished hardwood floors and VJ walls celebrate the craftsmanship of its era, while the thoughtful layout and natural flow make it perfect for modern family living.
Inside, you'll find four generous bedrooms, one currently enjoyed as a second living area, offering flexibility for relaxation, work, or guests. The master bedroom is packed full of character with beautiful bay windows, while the guest bedroom includes its own ensuite. A stunning large traditional bathroom featuring a cast iron clawfoot bath services the remaining bedrooms, adding a touch of old-world charm and indulgence. The interiors are bathed in natural light and cooled by soft cross-breezes drifting in from every direction, reminding you that this home was built to breathe.
At the heart of it all, the kitchen brings both soul and practicality. Featuring a 90 cm gas hob with dual electric oven, plentiful storage and bench space, it's a space where family meals, weekend baking, and friendly gatherings all feel right at home.
Step outside, and the lifestyle truly comes alive. The undercover entertaining area overlooks a sparkling 11 x 5m saltwater pool, inviting long, lazy afternoons spent in the water or evenings unwinding. It's an idyllic setting for gatherings big or small, where the air feels fresher and time moves slower.
For those who love their hobbies or need room for toys, the 7 x 9m shed offers generous storage for cars, boats, caravans, tools, or weekend projects. A chicken coop adds a charming country touch, perfect for fresh eggs and a taste of self-sufficiency, while a 5 kW solar system keeps the home energy-efficient and eco-conscious. There's also undercover parking for up to five cars, along with ample additional storage space beneath the house-a practical addition to this already versatile property.
Rarely found, peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature, this is a home that truly feels like an escape, yet within minutes, you're connected to every convenience of city life.
