The owners are regretfully selling their labour of love. To those who adored the romance of New Farm before it became Brisbane’s most desired location to live, 123 James Street is a shining example as to why. This house is instrinsically New Farm through and through. Built in 1869 and in true colonial style, this original Queenslander represents our history, and the owners have given it the loving care it always deserved.

Modern houses have their own style, however only very few have originality that gets better with age. It’s not often that you can walk through the front door of a home, and feel completely immersed in timelessness and flawless space. The free-flowing layout warms the heart, creating awe inspiring indoor / outdoor livability at every turn. 123 James Street boasts the charm of yesterday and has been tastefully transformed into a 99% new house, where every single part has been polished with meticulous precision. You won’t believe the originality which lays a fabulous foundation for whatever option the heart desires.

Practically designed over one level, this home features 3 spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. Situated on 405m2, there is no doubt that the character of this abode is what will draw attention. This property offers an easy lifestyle where some of New Farm’s cosmopolitan cafes and many of Brisbane’s eclectic restaurants are at your doorstep.

In terms of the complete overhaul, its important to note the detail of labour put in over the years. The owners re-stumped the entire house, dug out the drive way, replaced the fence, restored the fire places, put on a brand new roof, replaced the floor boards , replaced the kitchen, built a pantry room, built bathrooms, used top construction methods and appliances, replaced the entire front deck and stairs, and removed overgrown trees. The marble in the bathrooms are of the best quality and the most important objective was to stay true to its heritage, which the owners have successfully done in spades.

All in all, this is a very rare find. Traditional concepts fused with contemporary touches showcase this stunning inner-city residence. The elegance of light filled spaces strategically captures the beauty of the leafy surrounds, and a visit to this charming Queenslander take you back to the early 1900′s, a time of dirt roads and radios. The only difference is the renovation is already done.
