If only walls could talk, 38 Soden Street, Yeerongpilly would have so many stories to tell and one can only imagine what has been before. The love, the laughter, the family gatherings, such a wonderful home, such an interesting history..."Murilla" built around 1922 has stood the test of time. The name ‘Murilla’ has significance in that it was a shire on the Darling Downs where the current family’s Grandfather, Hon JAJ Hunter served as a Federal Member in the 1920’s.
This Grand Old Lady was built by Mr Soden for Judge McCracken, with the street then named after the builder. The second owner of the property, Lincoln Hunter a Pastoralist took up residence in 1958 with his wife and large family, and the children are now selling the family estate. The early home owners tell of cattle yards, a creek and aboriginal camps south of South Street back in the 1920’s, all lovely history and memories.
Behind the facade not only hides a history but a home of grand proportions ready for a new owner to call home and add their own stamp and style. A wide and welcoming enclosed veranda leads into the spacious interior full of the character of yesteryear. A large lounge room with fireplace, dining room and music room / sitting room / library are all on the upper level with hallways, nooks and crannies adding to the charm.
