Set high on one of Highgate Hill's most highly sought-after and elevated streets, 25 Blakeney Street represents the best of both worlds — a beautifully preserved character home ready to move straight into, with the scale, charm, and structure to expand and evolve as your family grows.
From the manicured hedge and landscaped jacaranda gardens to the character facade of maroon, blue-green and regency white, this home radiates timeless appeal. Step through the gate onto the bullnosed verandah, framed by lattice privacy screens, and you'll immediately feel the warmth and character of a true Queenslander.
Inside, a wide central hallway, 3.3-metre ceilings, and oversized bedrooms create a grand yet welcoming atmosphere. The home retains its original hardwood floors, ornate breezeways, VJ walls, and stained-glass casement windows, all complemented by vintage light switches and designer timber ceiling fans — small details that make a big impression.
The modern kitchen includes gas cooking, a Bosch dishwasher, and generous storage, opening onto the rear entertaining deck overlooking the lush, tree-lined backyard. Elevated and north-south facing, this light-filled home captures cooling breezes and leafy outlooks, making it perfect for relaxed afternoons or weekend gatherings.
Downstairs, the undercroft is legal height and already plumbed, offering the perfect foundation to fully customise your floorplan with new bedrooms, bathrooms, or additional living space (STCA) to suit your needs. Well-maintained and solidly constructed, this home presents a rare opportunity to create something truly special. Whether you plan to renovate, extend, infill, or add a secondary dwelling or granny flat (STCA), it's a blank canvas brimming with future potential - ready for the next chapter in this home's story.
