Do you desire to own a property in one of inner Brisbane’s best locations?

Then this distinctive, east-facing, high-set Queensland-style house is the answer.

This location gives you quick access to the South East Freeway and the Pacific Motorway, the Brisbane CBD and Fortitude Valley, and through East Brisbane to the Gateway Bridge.

The property is in easy walking distance of the Brisbane River (with its cross-river and City Cat ferries); the Kangaroo Point cliffs; South Bank’s cultural, entertainment and recreational attractions; the Goodwill Bridge (pedestrian) linking the south and north river banks; the famous Gabba Stadium; the new-look Woolloongabba with its boutique shops and cafes.

The magnificent Mater Hospital complex is nearby and the co-educational St Joseph’s Primary School and St Joseph’s Church are directly opposite.

Other schools such as Brisbane State High School and Somerville House are nearby, as are the Queensland University of Technology and the Griffith University South Bank Campus. South East Busway stations are also handy.

The house is spacious and has two living areas: upstairs and downstairs.

Upstairs features a verandah at the front and on one side, three spacious bedrooms, lounge room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet, and rear porch.

The ceilings are high, and the walls and ceilings are tongue and groove.

Downstairs features two living/bed rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and toilet, and laundry.

In recent times, the house has been rewired and almost completely re-stumped (concrete stumps), and has undergone other improvements.

A single-vehicle garage is located off the side street (Ellis Street).

This distinctive Queensland house, on its 460 m2 block, dates from the early 1920s. It has been in the one family throughout its 85 years and has a direct association with Queensland history.

It was built by William Burke, a son of the shipping pioneer, Captain John Burke, whose wharf was located on the Brisbane River at present-day South Bank and after whom the park under the Story Bridge is named.

The property is currently rented.
