Last Listing description (July 2024)

One of New Farm's most incredible addresses and one of three iconic, once identical residences on Merthyr Road, 'Linsdale' is a heritage-listed colonial home that effortlessly combines historical charm with modern potential. Positioned on a 503sqm allotment with dual street access in the highly sought-after lifestyle of New Farm, this property offers a wealth of possibilities. Whether you choose to preserve its classic appeal, renovate it into your dream home, or maximize income by renting all units, this home stands as a testament to the period's flamboyant style.

Currently utilised as an investment property, each of the four units features dual entry access, an open-plan design with polished hardwood floors, and air-conditioning in the living areas. The units are equipped with gas cooktops, and the property includes a rear two-car carport with access from Lower Bowen Terrace. Additionally, under-home laundry facilities and a storage area are provided for convenience.

The front two units have been thoughtfully updated to preserve the charm of existing house. They are now adjoined by a lockable door to create a spacious three-bedroom apartment while generating respectable rental income. Located at the rear of the house, units three and four feature one-bedroom, a combined living and dining area adjoining the kitchen.

Built adjacent to two exemplary homes, this property showcases the potential for transformation and consolidation if you choose to renovate. The inviting front porch, adorned with wrought iron railings, is a nod to the era's elegance. Enjoy the landscaped front yard. Inside, light-filled rooms enhance the sense of space and comfort. At its core, this home exudes prestige, character, and warmth — qualities highly sought after on the peninsula.

Positioned at the heart of all that New Farm has to offer, with its tree-lined streets, restaurants, cafes, and New Farm Park just 400 meters away. Enjoy the convenience of the CityCat and express bus services within walking distance, ensuring easy connections to the CBD and surrounding areas. Prestigious schools such as Holy Spirit and New Farm State School are just a short stroll away.

The existing updates provide a solid foundation, and with a thoughtful renovation, the home can be transformed back into a magnificent family residence that honors its colonial roots while incorporating modern comforts. An exceptional opportunity to secure a historical heritage home with rental income and potential for enhancement in one of Brisbane's most exclusive inner-city suburbs.
