If only walls could talk, 15 Dublin Street, Yeronga would have so many stories to tell and one can only imagine what has been before. The love, the laughter, the family gatherings, such a wonderful home that has been cherished by the same family for over 70 years.
Located within a lovely estate referred to as ‘The Killarney Estate’ because of its four ‘Irish’ streets – ‘Belfast, Cork, Dublin and Killarney’ – that were part of the ‘Village of Killarney’ first offered for sale in 1864. Slow sales meant that many of the blocks were not sold until the residential boom of the 1880s. The reason for the Irish names is not known, although it’s been speculated that it was designed to attract Irish immigrants at a time of increased migration.
Behind the facade you’ll find; not only an interesting history, but a home ready for a new owner to add their own stamp and style, making it their own. A wide and welcoming enclosed veranda leads you into the hallway and spacious interior full of the character of yesteryear. A large lounge room with silky oak panelling creates the hub of the home, with hallways, nooks and crannies adding to the charm. Towering 12ft VJ ceilings create light and airflow perfect for the Queensland climate; exposed timber work, stained glass, sash windows, picture railings, wooden floorboards under the carpetsall the features we love and expect from homes of this era all waiting to be rediscovered.
Spread over one full level of living, this property currently comprises a warm and inviting original kitchen with feature silky oak cabinetry and walk-in pantry; where many a meal would have been shared, 3 over-sized bedrooms, 2 original bathrooms and enclosed verandahs – creating sleepouts and studies or the opportunity and space to build ensuites and walk-in robes if needed. There will no doubt be many ‘they don’t build them like this anymore’ remarks!
