31 Herbert Street, Toowong QLD 4066

Lifestyle

High growth location. Fabulous style
Step into this classical 1930's home and you will return to a bygone era of quaint adobe fireplaces, whitewashed walls and the classical Cape Dutch façade and balustrades of the iconic style of architecture reserved for a select few Brisbane homes. The fabulous location is just a short stroll to the vibrant new Toowong Village and minutes by bus to the University of Queensland campus. The two street frontage to the 610m2 block may also lend itself to further redevelopment options given its Res B low-medium density zoning (subject to council approval).

Accommodation

The well maintained character filled home is a pleasure to inspect. The formal entry vestibule opens to a classical living room flowing to an enclosed gabled patio with a perfect northern aspect. The modern gourmet kitchen is a delight for the busy chef. Three delightful bedrooms add to the characteristically traditional home without losing any modern day appeal.

Features

The dwelling is a rare example of an architect designed concrete home and has suspended hardwood floors throughout. The applied relief ornamentation to the ceilings is understated yet clearly marks the quality of the home. The filtered glass casement windows compliment the classical whitewashed walls and high ceilings. The external stucco rendered walls are contrasted with the warmth of the terra cotta tiled roof and the ornate rounded gables. The decorative accents throughout the home create an atmosphere reminiscent of the Great Gatsby. An opportunity to acquire such a unique property in this prime location is not to be missed.

Note: the home was not flood affected in 2011
