A RARE PARKSIDE FAMILY ESTATE | 2,051m² OF PRIVACY, SPACE & DUAL LIVING
A substantial family residence offering genuine dual living, exceptional outdoor living and an enviable parkside position only minutes from Brisbane CBD.
Privately positioned at the end of its own access and adjoining the greenery of Joachim Street Park, 162A Birdwood Road is an unusually large and versatile property in one of Brisbane’s established inner-south suburbs.
Set across an impressive 2,051m², the property combines a spacious five-bedroom residence with a fully self-contained granny flat, extensive entertaining areas, substantial vehicle accommodation and beautifully expansive grounds.
The result is a home that offers something increasingly difficult to find close to the city - the freedom to live comfortably, entertain generously and accommodate the needs of a growing or extended family, without the constraints of a conventional suburban block.
A PRIVATE POSITION WITH A PARKSIDE OUTLOOK
Arriving at 162A Birdwood Road immediately sets it apart.
Tucked away from the street, the home enjoys a private country lifestyle within a secluded setting, while its position directly adjoining Joachim Street Park creates an open, leafy outlook and a wonderful connection to the surrounding greenery.
The combination of a substantial landholding and parkland beyond the property gives the home a feeling of scale and seclusion rarely associated with such a convenient location.
Inside, the residence is practical and welcoming, with the single-level layout making everyday family living easy while providing excellent connection between the living, sleeping and entertaining spaces.
FAMILY LIVING WITH ROOM TO GROW
The main residence features five bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living areas designed for relaxed family life.
At the heart of the home, the well-appointed kitchen includes a gas cooktop and dishwasher and connects naturally with the adjoining living and outdoor entertaining areas.
The home’s connection with the outdoors is one of its defining qualities, with an impressive a fully undercover
144m² verandah extending around the residence and creating an exceptional environment for year-round outdoor living.
Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, gathering with family or hosting larger celebrations, the scale of the verandah provides a seamless extension of the home’s living areas.
An outdoor fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere during Brisbane’s cooler months, while the surrounding grounds provide an exceptional setting for children, pets and outdoor activities.
Beyond the entertaining areas, the property opens into an expansive backyard with established features including a cubbyhouse with a slide and chicken coop.
The grounds are further enhanced by 12 established fruiting trees, creating a productive and inviting garden environment where fresh seasonal produce can be enjoyed from your own backyard.
GENUINE DUAL LIVING
Adding an important layer of versatility is the fully self-contained granny flat, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom. Which also has its own separate metered power for Rental purpose, you can earn an income from home or use as a self- contained business.
Offering genuine independence from the main residence, it is perfectly suited to a wide range of family arrangements.
It could provide comfortable accommodation for parents or extended family, a private retreat for older children, guest accommodation or a dedicated space for working from home.
For families planning ahead, it offers the flexibility to adapt as circumstances change, making the property particularly well suited to multigenerational living.
The separation between the two spaces means additional accommodation can be provided without compromising the privacy of the main home.
EXCEPTIONAL VEHICLE & WORKSPACE CAPACITY
For those who need more from their property than a typical family home can provide, the practical infrastructure here is equally impressive.
With accommodation for up to six vehicles, extensive additional parking and 3-phase power, there is genuine capacity for cars, trailers, a boat, caravan or recreational vehicles.
The property also lends itself naturally to those with hobbies, collections, equipment or a home-based business requiring additional workspace and power.
It is an uncommon combination of residential comfort and practical functionality - particularly in such a convenient location.
THE BACKYARD & OUTDOOR LIVING
The outdoor spaces are designed for the way Brisbane families like to live.
The expansive verandah creates an effortless transition between the home and backyard, with the outdoor fireplace providing a natural gathering point throughout the year.
Whether hosting a large family celebration, enjoying a weekend barbecue or simply watching the children play outside, the generous grounds provide an environment where entertaining feels relaxed rather than confined.
The established gardens, cubbyhouse, chicken coop and 12 fruiting trees add character and practicality to the backyard, while the expansive lawn provides plenty of space for children, pets, recreation and future lifestyle additions.
Beyond the backyard, Joachim Street Park provides an immediate extension to the property’s outdoor lifestyle.
