It’s not often that you can walk through the front door of a home, and feel completely immersed in timelessness and flawless space. To those who adored the authenticity of New Farm before it became Brisbane’s most desired location to live, 203 Kent Street is a shining example as to why. This house is intrinsically New Farm through and through. Built in the early 1890′s 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. Adored by locals as ‘the house with the red door’ this beautiful colonial is just gorgeous. The free-flowing layout with soaring high ceilings and polished timber floors warms the heart, creating awe inspiring indoor / outdoor livability at every turn. 203 Kent Street boasts the charm of yesteryear and has been tastefully transformed into a contemporary house without losing its original charm. Just kick your shoes off and sit on the front veranda and take in the North Easterly breezes. In all its form, this is your own private inner-city haven.
Practically designed over one level, this home features three enormous bedrooms and two bathrooms. The large family room features a beautiful fireplace that won’t disappoint and the kitchen has been tastefully renovated for the ultimate in functionality and style. As well as the front yard, there is also a rear courtyard for the family pet and children to play. Situated on 384m2, 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 convenience. You’re quite literally on the doorstep of James Street Markets, Gasworks, the New Farm Riverwalk and much anticipated Howard Smith Wharves.
All in all, this is a fabulous New Farm house. 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 will take you back to the early 1890′s. The only difference is the renovation is already done.
