Overview

Front Row Seat for Spectacular Sunsets

Located high on Bishop's Hill in Petrie Terrace, this immaculate low-maintenance cottage offers an ideal blend of character and modern convenience, perfect for move-in ready, easy-care living. Positioned at the top end of the suburb on Earl Street, one of the premier streets in this historic area, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with no through traffic. The home is admired by locals and visitors alike for its charming appeal and city-side location, capturing stunning views and refreshing southerly breezes.

The property features a quaint iron lace gate leading to a timber decked tropical-lined pathway that extends to the rear of the home, or alternatively to the front door which opens onto a spacious front veranda. This veranda provides sensational panoramic views stretching across to Mount Coot-Tha and beyond, creating a feeling of being on top of the world.

Inside, the home showcases a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements. Polished hoop pine flooring, timber fretwork above doorways, vertical joined timber walls, and high ceilings are signature features of these character cottages. The light-filled bedrooms are generously sized, each equipped with separate air-conditioning and ceiling fans. The front two bedrooms benefit from bi-fold doors that open directly onto the front veranda, enhancing indoor-outdoor flow. The master bedroom includes a modern en-suite bathroom with mountain views visible even from the shower.

The central bathroom and laundry area is spacious and modern, beautifully tiled and thoughtfully designed to accommodate a large vanity, WC, shower over the bathtub, and space for a washing machine. Moving beyond the sleeping quarters, the home opens into a comfortable air-conditioned combined living and dining area, complemented by a modern open-plan kitchen.

The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring 2-Pac cabinetry, dual kitchen sinks, stainless steel appliances including a five-burner cooktop, oven, and Bellini dishwasher. A full-size servery window opens from the kitchen onto one of the many outdoor decks, providing an additional viewing platform to enjoy the expansive views of Brisbane's Southwest.

Outdoor living is enhanced by full wrap-around decking edged with tropical garden plants and seating areas, offering multiple spaces for entertaining or relaxation. Beneath the home, there is a large, clean lock-up multipurpose space that was previously used as a private boxing gym. This concreted area has ceiling heights well above legal habitable requirements and could potentially be converted into additional living space or a double lock-up garage, subject to council approval.

Conveniently located at the top end of Petrie Terrace, the property is within walking distance to Brisbane Grammar and Roma Park Gardens. It is also close to The Barracks shopping, dining, and entertainment precincts, Caxton Street, Suncorp Stadium, Ithaca Swimming Pool, and the YMCA. Nearby schools include Saint Joseph's, University of Queensland (UQ), Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Petrie Terrace State School, and Kelvin Grove State College, all accessible by short drive or walk.

Additional features include a renovated colonial cottage style, no through traffic, low maintenance grounds, elevated position with stunning views, multiple entertaining areas, split system air-conditioning, modern kitchen and bathrooms, polished timber floorboards, and vacant possession available.
