58 Stafford Street, East Brisbane

Renowned as one of Brisbane's most prominent residences and one of the oldest homes in Brisbane, Hester Villa is a true relic of Brisbane's history and a landmark residence that embodies a legacy of grandeur and unique character that cannot be replicated nor mimicked, all within 2.5kms of the CBD.

Tucked behind a picket fence befitting the heritage character and historical relevance, this truly outstanding offering is a sight to behold. Built in 1901, this Federation home has been the much loved family home of the current custodians for 31 years.

Situated on a 1,062m2 block of land, this sprawling estate presents a proportionate offering - a well maintained and beautifully presented family home.

You will be drawn in by the sweeping veranda's wrapping around the property on 3 sides, overlooking the formal gardens, beneath a canopy of flowering frangipani. As you ascend the wide entry stairs and cross the threshold, cast your eye overhead to spot the penny nailed over the entrance recording the date that the house was constructed.

The wide entry hallway is steeped in traditional features and offering a glimpse of what lies beyond. Polished timber flooring, VJ walls, picture rails and hanging pendant lighting are consistent throughout. To your left, you will find the formal lounge and dining boasting a show stopping pink marble fireplace.

Three generous bedrooms are located to your right – pause for a moment to appreciate the grand scale of the master bedroom and walk in robe with sash windows, overlooking the striking formal garden beyond. The bedroom wing is serviced by the spacious main bathroom offering character inclusions such as the claw foot bath and leadlight windows.

The well-appointed kitchen with island bench is a sizeable family space with quality appliances including gas cooking. Adjoining informal dining room opens onto the side verandah, demonstrating alfresco dining cohesion.

At the end of the hallway, descend the staircase to the sunken living to take in the soaring ceilings of the full height void and floor to ceiling windows showcasing the garden beyond. Hester Villa is a true example of a stunning heritage home showcasing traditional features without compromising on contemporary convenience.

Located within walking distance to Churchie (Anglican Boys' Grammar School), Gabba Cricket Ground, City Cat and with immediate access to Brisbane airport and local amenities via Clem 7 tunnel this property ticks all the boxes.
