Known as ‘Doon’, the home dates to 1895 and was designed by architect Claude William Chambers for a successful railway contractor, George Charles Willcocks.

The Victorian home is one of four adjacent homes, seldom offered and highly sought after.

Speaking to WILLIAMS MEDIA, Heath Williams said he was expecting interest around $4 million.

“Unusual for Brisbane, the home is built in stone, but there are so many things that are attractive about this property,” Heath explained to WILLIAMS MEDIA. 

“It retains many original attributes including super high ceilings, working sash windows containing the original glass, ornate wrought iron lacework and decorative plaster mouldings and timber fretwork.”

“When most blocks in the area are around 450sqm, this home is situated on a 732sqm (approx) corner allotment, enjoying city glimpses while the side windows guarantee additional light to the interior.”

The dual-level home boasting a range of modern features as well as an expansive layout, with multiple open spaces and entertainment zones for family living. 

There are six bedrooms, an office and a study on a generous, level, ‘easy-care’ block with heated inground swimming pool and outdoor shower.

Heritage restoration work on the home has been completed by Chapman Builders and plans have been drawn up for an extension by renowned Brisbane architects, Hogg & Lamb.

Hogg and Lamb Director, Michael Hogg told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “Originally built around 1895, “Doon” reflects the flamboyant charm of the period with a composite of Victorian Filigree and Victorian Italianate styles.

Hogg & Lamb’s design aims to carefully re-establish the original extent of the house through the removal of non-original extensions and insertions. The new extension expands the functionality of the heritage house to accommodate the requirements of a flexible family home, whilst taking advantage of its beautiful inner city location and streetscape.”
