History:
Offered for the first time in 56 years, 24 Kitchener Road, Ascot is a deeply cherished Queenslander - a home that has held decades of family memories, celebrations and everyday moments, and is now ready to welcome its next chapter.
Built in 1912 by Mrs Bird, a relative of the prominent McWhirter family, 24 Kitchener Road holds a unique place in Ascot's early history. In 1926, the home was acquired by the Whatmore family of the Victorian residence "Nyrambla" (on Henry Street, Ascot). It was purchased as a wedding gift for their daughter Gloria Whatmore.
Over the years, the home was rented to notable Brisbane residents and later passed through several local families, before being purchased by the current owners in 1969 - where it has remained loved and held for generations.
This is an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a character-filled family home with land, lifestyle and location - ready to enjoy now and enhance for the future.
