Classic Queenslander Home with Inner City convenience near RBWH
Herston is one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner city pockets with walkable access to world class health, transport, parklands and education infrastructure. With character charm and functional dual level living spaces, this residence on 465m presents an outstanding opportunity to benefit from these lifestyle features while living there and restore or renovate in your own time. Typical features include high VJ walls with picture rails, polished hardwood floors, ornate timber fretwork archways and coloured glass windows that demonstrate the kind of character that's rarely found intact.
Upstairs, the living and sitting rooms flow through the fretwork arch to the timber kitchen and dining room, where French doors open to a covered rear deck overlooking the garden and its bougainvillea. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe, the second bedroom opens to the front porch, and the bathroom keeps its clawfoot bath. An internal timber staircase leads down to a second living area, in what could be described as a second master bedroom with its own ensuite, there's also a powder room and laundry. This level opens up onto the lower deck's flexible space for teenagers, parents' retreats, guests, or a self-contained flat
