Blairnile is located on the border of New Farm and Teneriffe Hill. The first thing you will notice as you step through the private gated entrance to the grounds is the sheer size of the residence. Next you will notice the wonderful wide open verandahs and the overall sense of privacy and history.
A former home to a past Lord Mayor of Brisbane, this property was one of the early residences built in Chester Street and is noted as a place of cultural heritage significance.
Today, maybe not a lot has changed. There are still the gleaming polished hoop pine floor boards, the magnificent fireplace in the lounge room with its Victorian overmantle, the massive double hung sash windows, soaring ceilings, original cedar doors and the tongue and groove interior.
The current owners have retained all the charm and atmosphere of the earlier era whilst adding many improvements to enhance todays lifestyle. The property provides an excellent balance between old and new and it would be a fitting and desirable residence for the most discerning buyer. Properties of this style, size and quality are seldom available and this unique historical home would inspire a new generation of owners.
