Set on a meticulously manicured 1,707sqm, this exceptionally restored 150-year-old Queenslander offers a luxury homestead in the city lifestyle in a peaceful, family-friendly Bardon street.

The Colonial Queenslander is a former vice-regal property, once gracing the grounds of Old Government House at Gardens Point and the current Government House at Paddington.

Built during the 1870s as part of the servants' quarters, the building was relocated to the site of the current Government House in 1910 where it continued to be used as servants’ quarters until the late 1940s.

After moving to its current location in Moonya Street, the building was split into two adjacent residences, undergoing numerous extensions during the 1970s before being rejoined into one private residence in 1985.

“This home is truly unique. It's not just its rich history that sets it apart, but the fact that it's a single-level property on a flat block is a very rare find,” Heath Williams told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“This makes it both a special place to live and a standout in the market.”

The history of the home has been retained in its original windows, door joinery, and Neo-Roman roofing profiles, seamlessly integrated with polished floors, 3.8m ceilings, ornate fireplaces, classic arches, and intricate fretwork.

The carefully considered floorplan places the light-filled gourmet kitchen at the centre of activity, allowing easy observation of the main living and dining areas, study nook, pool, backyard, and deck.

The Governor's office is now a formal sitting room, featuring a coal fireplace, ceiling-height shelves, and a bay window with a built-in bench seat and bookshelves. 

Five bedrooms are distributed across three distinct zones, with four opening onto the sprawling verandah via French doors. The front two bedrooms share an adjoining study/rumpus room and bathroom, while the master suite features a spacious dressing room and a sleek white ensuite adorned with mosaic-style tiling. Two additional bedrooms are strategically placed in a secluded wing, served by a full bathroom, designed to accommodate family living or guests.

Enjoy the glistening pool with a waterfall feature or explore the dedicated children's playground area, complete with a cubby house, sandpit, monkey bars and swings.
