Owned by the current family for over 50 years this is a timeless classic the likes of which are rapidly diminishing in availability and are rarely offered for sale.

Fastidiously maintained, it is an enduring example of traditional building excellence and offers unlimited potential to renovate, extend or just make some personal adjustments and add modern conveniences.

With a North-South grass tennis court at the rear of the house and sprawling mature gardens, the space to entertain and allow children to play is enviable.An underground bore and ample water storage tanks provide for a year round green environment.

Wide verandahs, high ceilings, polished floors, leadlight windows and french doors form the platform to what is clearly a premium build quality for its vintage. The wide central hallway, spacious lounge dining room and large bedrooms provide a practical floorplan with genuine scope to further improve.

The elevated 48 perches, with a north easterly aspect to the rear, commands Brisbane’s cooling summer breezes and the wide quiet tree lined street has a high standard of character homes.

Positioned close to transport, schools, shopping, the M1 and the airport, Bourne Street is a highly desirable address.

With the house predominantly positioned on the centre and southern 405m2 subdivisions, the potential exists (subject to Council approval) to split off the northern 405m2, potentially freeing up capital to fund a renovation should you consider an 809m2 lot adequate for your family.

Opportunities like this don’t present often and with an increasingly positive Brisbane property market sentiment, the time to secure this impressive estate may never be better!
