One of Moorooka’s original grand homes “Gladstone House” is a historic and significant example of Porch & Gable architecture. Sitting on a vast elevated 790m2 corner block in a quiet neighbourhood it still retains a stately and commanding street presence.

Although showing signs of age it offers enormous potential to revert to its former glory. Raise, renovate and/or develop to utilise this exceptional land boasting district views to Mount Coot-tha and create your dream home.

With high ceilings, vertical joinery, French doors and polished timber floors the standout element is by far the expansive L shaped, deep and wide, north facing front verandah. In true Queensland style, it provides shade, catches prevailing breezes and offers protection from afternoon storms, as well as also providing a semi outdoor room that is perfect for everyday informal living.

Currently displaying a classic layout of separate living room, dining room and a generous original gas kitchen with a skylight, there are also two bathrooms servicing the three bedrooms, two of which have direct access to a bathroom, and the master bedroom that features a cosy bay window seat.

Underneath the property houses a utility area, separate toilet, storage and laundry and it is here that an opportunity exists to raise, build in and add extra living space and value. Fully fenced, rambling side and front gardens are easily kept green with the inclusion of a water tank.

Located 8kms from the CBD in an idyllic leafy setting just minutes from several parks, Moorooka Woolworths, the Brisbane Golf Club and the Rocklea Markets it is also close to St Brendan’s Catholic primary school and transport with a convenient bus stop just several metres from the front of the property.
