“Tranmere” 1885

The Property.
“Tranmere” Kangaroo Point’s last historical home on the peninsula is a once in a lifetime chance to own something truly special. This historically rich residence was originally constructed in 1885 and has been passionately restored with not a single detail overlooked. With current zoning supporting 4 stories for neighbouring buildings, a highly sought after north east aspect captures the surrounding heritage parks of Yungaba, Story Bridge and glimpses of the Brisbane River. A unique and outstanding opportunity to develop, build up and obtain river, bridge and city views, add an extension to the existing house, build apartments or commercial space (STCA) further enhances the benefits for the buyer.
Offering a range of appointments that have been collected from local and around the world to ensure this home maintains its old world charm, you know from the moment you pass through the front door that you’re witnessing something special.
Set across a functional single level layout, it exudes a warm and inviting ambience. Original Queensland Hoop Pine floorboards have been carefully removed and reset onto realigned joists during restoration.
A cast iron and marble fireplace originates from a demolished terrace house in Redfern, Sydney and features a Queensland Red Cedar mantle from a 1890s Highgate Hill home. There is even a signature on a board in the lounge room from the original builder of the home, Nicholas Cain.
A modernized kitchen with air conditioning provides a touch of modern luxury, hosting a suite of stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage. A peaceful rear deck is just steps away, the perfect place to unwind with friends and family. There is even potential to develop the rear of the property further, if desired.
Three spacious bedrooms with original Hoop Pine flooring are serviced by an updated main bathroom with a European laundry.

– Window hardware from the Victorian era with latches from a property in the UK, circa 1800s.
