Built in 1887 and thoughtfully maintained, 'Latrobe Manor' invites you to secure an exclusive address in city-fringing East Brisbane. Boasting exquisite traditional details, a coveted address and a large potentially sub-dividable rear yard (STCA), this four-bedroom property just metres from leafy Mowbray Park is one of a few double-brick Victorian residences remaining in Brisbane.
Showcasing undeniable classic grandeur, the home was crafted for ironworker William Henry Genn and formed part of the illustrious 'Mowbraytown Estate'. Honouring its past while also embracing modern sophistication, the property makes a spectacular first impression with its magnificent Victorian facade, wrought-iron details, fretwork-adorned verandahs and picket-fenced front gardens. Equally refined, the residence's interior features beautiful timber floors, lofty 3.6-metre-high ceilings, decorative ceiling roses and French doors.
Promising to make you feel at home from the moment you step through its welcoming entry and central hallway, a spacious living area is adorned with a charming fireplace. Steps away, a casual meals area adjoins a superb kitchen displaying quality appliances and ample cupboard storage.
Ensuring fantastic indoor-outdoor connection, timber bi-fold doors open out to a fully-fenced grassed courtyard and a large open-air patio. Here, gather loved ones for a barbecue, share an al fresco meal, host an unforgettable celebration or relax with a refreshing drink. Flourishing gardens create excellent privacy, creating a tranquil setting only a quick commute from Brisbane's vibrant CBD. This brilliant outdoor area also offers the potential to subdivide and maximise your investment, if preferred (STCA).
Upstairs, a generous master bedroom benefits from its own fireplace and front verandah access. A sizeable second bedroom also links to the front verandah, while a main bathroom encompasses a classic clawfoot bath.
Two additional bedrooms are downstairs; one spills out onto the front patio and the other has a built-in robe. Finishing the property is another full bathroom and a separate internal laundry.
Complete with a dual tandem carport and marvellous storage, the residence also includes air-conditioning and ceiling fans.
Merely a leisurely stroll from a collection of retail and dining options, this exceptional home is also close to the Mowbray Park Ferry Terminal and the iconic Gabba Cricket Grounds. The soon-to-be-constructed Cross River Rail Woolloongabba station precinct, the new Kangaroo Point Pedestrian Bridge and Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park's scenic walking paths are nearby.
Falling within the East Brisbane State School and Coorparoo Secondary College catchment areas, this sensational property is also a short distance from Anglican Church Grammar School, Lourdes Hill College and Saint Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
