This generously sized, beautifully renovated Queenslander is a study in relaxed, modern charm.
Spread over two levels, the 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-car parking home is situated on a generous 607sqm plot only 5km from Brisbane CBD with a northerly aspect nearby the Brisbane River.
Despite the renovation, the home has kept plenty of its original character making good use of its high ceiling, vertical joinery, original pine flooring, plantation shutters and ceiling fans.
While a Queenslander at heart, the home has been reimagined for modern family living and renovated to include a contemporary kitchen, fitted with stone benchtops, Smeg appliances and a Liebherr integrated refrigerator.
The kitchen flows towards the living and dining which is connected to the covered entertainment deck offering inner-city Brisbane living at its best.
Further, the home sees oversized bedrooms, including a master complete with walk-in robe, while elsewhere designer bathrooms are complete with stone bench finishes.
On the lower level is two utility rooms alongside a multi-purpose area, currently used as a family room that flows out to the covered entertainment area and low maintenance, expansive backyard.
A short stroll to Race Course Rd precinct, Brisbane airport, public transport and more, it’s a rare opportunity to experience inner-city living through a classic lens.

Sonny Bono’s former estate, a piece of local history in Palm Springs, California, has come up for sale.
The desert residence, on the market for $7.49 million, was home to the singer, songwriter, congressman and Palm Springs mayor from 1986 until his death in 1998, records show.
“Opportunities like this simply do not come around often,” said listing agent Louise Hampton with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California, who brought the home to the market last month.
“A hillside estate of this size, with this level of privacy and this historical connection stands among the most compelling offerings in today’s desert market.”
Bono was perhaps most famously the other half of singing duo Sonny & Cher, but also served as the mayor of Palm Springs from 1988 to 1992, and as the U.S. representative for California’s 44th district from 1995 until he died in a skiing accident in 1998 at the age of 62.
Located in the city’s Mesa neighbourhood on a hillside parcel, the colourful seven-bedroom property combines Mid-Century Modern design with Italian influences across its almost 9,000 square feet and multiple structures.
The house last changed hands in 2021 for $4.35 million. The sellers couldn’t be reached for comment.
There’s a great room, a formal dining area with a rock fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with two wine fridges.
The seven bedrooms include a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a “spa-style” bathroom with a soaking tub and steam shower, according to the listing. Several of the home’s guest suites include private patios or separate entrances.
Outside, there are lawns, olive trees, date palms and cacti alongside terraces, a new travertine pool deck, a pool, a tennis court and an oversize motor court with space for more than a dozen vehicles.
