80 Eyre Street

North Ward QLD 4810

Past the charming picket fence and up the stairs, the verandah has since been re-opened and is adorned with timber balustrading and decorative column brackets, showcasing the magnificent, symmetrical front faade. The central hallway is rich in character with rounded archways, fretwork and ceiling roses, branching off on each side with two, generously proportioned bedrooms to the right, and an expansive ballroom inspired living room to the left. Adjoining the third bedroom, the rear of the home, (once the original maids wing), is now an expansive, rear sleepout with coloured-glass casement windows and bottom timber louvres- architectural characteristics of a classic Queenslander that showcase climate consideration with the purpose of capturing those all-encompassing coastal breezes off the shore.

The kitchen is open and functional with a plethora of cabinetry and storage space, with outstanding features from the mullioned glass cabinetry doors on the overheads, and the stunning, solid brick chimney. Some years ago, the bathroom which was originally located outside was moved indoors, transforming the maids' sleeping quarters into high quality, modern masterpiece. Utilising crisp, contemporary colours and feature tiles, this bathroom houses a large, walk-in shower, freestanding bathtub, double-sink vanity with scalloped handles and copper hardware throughout.

Looking at the history that envelopes the halls of this home and seeing firsthand the transformation that it has grown through truly pulls at the heart strings. Positioned perfectly on 1,012 square metres of highly valuable, prime land in North Ward, the canvas is blank and holds immense potential of scope for the new custodian to continue this homes story and bring to life a new generation backed by dreams.

Nestled at the base of Castle Hill, this home houses a multitude of sprawling lifestyle options. North Ward is home to Jezzine Barracks and The Strand, a bustling seaside foreshore with a never-ending collection of cafes, restaurants, bars, and specialty shops. The Strand is a hub of activity with many swimming spots, tropical landscaping lining the footpaths and hosting plethora of special events throughout the year.

A passionate, labour of love from the current owners, 80 Eyre Street is the gift that keeps on giving and is the product of over 150 years of life and adoration. We would be nothing short of proud to welcome you to come and experience the history and emotion for yourself. Contact Giovanni to EXPLORE, today.
