Auction Location: In-Rooms - 10 James Street, Fortitude Valley.
Positioned amongst established properties in coveted Norman Park, this circa 1896 residence boasts a sought-after address and an illustrious history. Beautifully updated to suit modern lifestyles, the three-bedroom 'Rose Hill' offers a rare and exciting opportunity. Located in an elevated position on Macdonald Street, with nearly 25m of frontage, this home is presented to be lived in now or perfect for a potential extension (subject to council approval).
Undeniably elegant, the home was built by Samual Marriott shortly after he purchased the original 10-acre plot of land in 1887. Today, it provides a magnificent sanctuary for families and entertainers alike.
Balancing heritage grandeur with a contemporary aesthetic, the property showcases timber-look floors, lofty VJ ceilings with pressed metal cornices and VJ walls, wrap-around verandahs, ornate archways and leadlight windows. A fresh white colour palette also promises to suit a variety of décor styles.
Stepping across the welcoming front verandah into the residence, you will find a generous open-plan living and dining area punctuated by an enchanting fireplace. Continuing from here, a well-equipped kitchen includes everything you need to prepare a delicious meal. Expect fantastic details like quality appliances, a tiled splashback and plenty of cupboard storage.
The master bedroom includes access out to the verandah, dual built-in robes and also, a sophisticated ensuite encompassing a modern frameless shower and additional storge.
Two additional bedrooms also fitted with built-in robes are serviced by a main bathroom featuring a shower over the claw foot bath. The residence also features a study area, additional storerooms and dedicated laundry, off-street parking and an abundance of storage. Other notable touches include air-conditioning, ceiling fans and gorgeous plantation shutters.
Outside, an expansive, fully fenced, grassed rear yard features established gardens and vast amounts of space for children and pets. Entertainers will also love gathering loved ones for sunset drinks or an al fresco meal on the breezy covered verandah.
Rarely is the market presented with a home that is perfectly liveable on a block size like 85 Macdonald street, which also offers opportunity for added future potential, should the current buyer decide.
Only six kilometres from Brisbane's CBD and minutes from a plethora of shops and dining options, this impeccable property is also close to the Norman Park train station and Camp Hill Marketplace. Other nearby attractions include Seven Hills Bushland Reserve's popular walking tracks, Cannon Hill Kmart Plaza and Stones Corner Village.
Falling within the Seven Hills State School and Coorparoo Secondary College catchment areas, this exceptional residence is also a short drive from Anglican Church Grammar School, Lourdes Hill Primary School and Saint Oliver Plunkett Primary School.
