Last Listing description (May 2026)
On a broad 1,062sqm parcel within one of Graceville's most established riverside streets stands a residence of scale and documented provenance. Known as Koorong, this home was built circa 1914 for John Gilligan, Chief Hansard Reporter for the Queensland Parliament, and his wife Ruth Gilligan, a journalist. Today it remains a rare and private holding with a 22-metre frontage, framed by established gardens and greenery.
Its Federation character reveals itself in every detail, from the pitched terracotta roofline and deep wraparound verandahs to the timber weatherboards and stained glass that catches the light. A lasting sense of craftsmanship underpins the home's authenticity.
Inside, the scale is immediately felt. A central hallway draws you forward beneath soaring ceilings, decorative cornices and breezeways. VJ walls and timber floors create warmth and continuity. The main living room, anchored by a striking fireplace, feels both intimate and substantial. French doors open wide to the verandahs, welcoming cross breezes and allowing the home to expand effortlessly outdoors.
The semi open plan dining and kitchen extends to a private verandah overlooking the expansive lawn and pool. The galley style kitchen is both practical and inviting, with generous cabinetry and bench space, complemented by a gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher, and positioned to remain connected to the rhythm of daily life.
Accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite. Three bedrooms open directly onto verandahs, while one features a built-in bay window seat forming a charming reading nook. The main bathroom is well appointed with quality fittings, supporting family living with ease.
The level backyard is framed by mature shade trees, creating privacy and depth rarely found this close to the river. The swimming pool sits within clear view of the home, bordered by lawn for both relaxation and supervision. Additional features enhance everyday comfort and practicality. Air conditioning supports year-round comfort, while the under-house area provides a laundry, workshop and storage room. Side access, off street and garage parking, along with rainwater tanks, enhance overall functionality.
Graceville's riverside pocket remains tightly held, valued for its established streetscape, heritage protections and strong owner occupier presence. River walks, parklands, village cafes and rail are within easy reach, with the CBD approximately 10 kilometres away. A landholding of this scale, combined with a Federation residence of local heritage significance, represents an increasingly rare offering within Brisbane's inner west.
Opportunities to secure a holding of this size and historical significance in such a tightly held location are uncommon. We welcome your inspection of Koorong today.
