We are proud to offer the original home of James McWhirter (1848 - 22 July 1925), founder of the prominent Brisbane department store McWhirters Ltd.
Positioned on a wide-fronted corner block with vast exposure to the north and river views at the rear, McWhirter House balances the architectural allure of Art Deco with sophisticated contemporary design. The result is a private, character-filled family home that offers superb liveability in a supremely prestigious village address.
Perfectly suited to Brisbane's subtropical climate, the stunning interior design and meticulous attention to detail is an immediate draw-card. A palette of moody greys, earthy timber and luxurious surfaces combine to create a sense of coolness and calm. At the heart of the home is a breathtaking open plan living room with an incredible chef-inspired kitchen taking centre stage, while oversized timber sliding doors provide a seamless connection with the private entertaining deck.
Offering wonderful flexibility and substantial scale, accommodation includes four+ bedrooms, home office, formal sitting room, a versatile 'attic' room currently used as a TV/rumpus space (previously used as a bedroom) Butler's kitchen and gym. Other than the attic and a downstairs bedroom, main living is predominantly single level. Set on 650 sqm of land with a two year old pool and secure parking for up to six cars, this is a remarkable family home rarely found so close to the attractions of Racecourse Road and walking distance to Portside.
