Dating back to the late 1800s, this landmark residence is one of the area’s earliest surviving homesteads, offering a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Wellington Point’s history while enjoying the comforts of modern family living.
Positioned on an expansive 1,199m² block “The Palms” stands as a lasting reminder of Wellington Point’s early settlement. Carefully renovated to honour its heritage, the home retains its original character while incorporating the quality finishes and conveniences expected today.
Showcasing the timeless hallmarks of a classic Queenslander, the home features a wraparound verandah, polished timber floors, traditional VJ walls, soaring ceilings and an original fireplace that serves as the heart of the main living area.
The kitchen strikes the perfect balance between heritage charm and contemporary functionality. Premium appliances include a 900mm multi-cavity oven with gas cooktop, complemented by elegant marble benchtops, a substantial concrete island bench and a handcrafted copper rangehood that anchors the space beautifully.
The master suite is a peaceful retreat featuring a charming window seat, traditional casement windows, a stylish ensuite with barn door entry and tranquil views across the established gardens.
Upstairs, a character-filled loft provides a versatile retreat ideal as a home office, library, children’s lounge or quiet sitting room beneath soaring VJ-lined ceilings. One of the four bedrooms also features its own elevated nook, perfect as additional storage, a cosy reading corner or a delightful hideaway for children.
Outside, established gardens frame a sparkling swimming pool and a separate multi-purpose pool house, offering exceptional flexibility as a home gym, art studio, teenage retreat, games room or additional entertaining space.
Perfectly positioned just moments from local shopping, cafés, restaurants and boutique stores, the home is also surrounded by some of Wellington Point’s most sought-after schools. Conveniently located close to Birkdale train station and approximately 25km from Brisbane CBD, it delivers an exceptional lifestyle of convenience without compromising on character.
