Far larger than its street frontage suggests, this classic Queenslander sits on a 465m² block beneath a triple-gabled corrugated iron roof. Inside, high VJ walls with picture rails, polished hardwood floors, ornate timber fretwork archways and stained glass windows carry the kind of character that's rarely found intact. This tidy, largely original home is a rare chance to secure genuine Brisbane character in one of the inner city's most sought-after districts, then restore or renovate in your own time.
Upstairs, the living and sitting rooms flow through the fretwork arch to the timber kitchen and dining room, where French doors open to a covered rear deck overlooking the garden and its bougainvillea. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe, the second bedroom opens to the front porch, and the bathroom keeps its clawfoot bath. An internal timber staircase leads down to a second living area, a third bedroom, a bathroom, powder room and laundry. That level opens to a covered lower deck - flexible space for teenagers, guests or a home office.
