Capturing the romance of a bygone era and the ease of modern acreage living. Perfectly blending rural tranquility with city convenience, this breathtaking Queenslander sits just minutes from Manly, Bulimba, the Port of Brisbane, the local train station, the airport and the CBD, offering the rare luxury of space and serenity so close to it all.Originally built circa 1900, this much-loved residence has had just two families live in the property in its lifetime. It was lovingly relocated from Beaudesert to its private 3516 m sanctuary, where it now rests surrounded by wide lawns, mature trees and the gentle hum of nature.From the moment you step onto the wraparound veranda, there's an unmistakable sense of warmth and welcome. The home's soaring ceilings, decorative fretwork, polished hardwood floors and VJ walls celebrate the craftsmanship of its era, while the thoughtful layout and natural flow make it perfect for modern family living.Inside, you'll find four generous bedrooms, one currently enjoyed as a second living area, offering flexibility for relaxation, work, or guests. The master bedroom is packed full of character with beautiful bay windows, while the guest bedroom includes its own ensuite. A stunning large traditional bathroom featuring a cast iron clawfoot bath services the remaining bedrooms, adding a touch of old-world charm and indulgence. The interiors are bathed in natural light and cooled by soft cross-breezes drifting in from every direction, reminding you that this home was built to breathe.At the heart of it all, the kitchen brings both soul and practicality. Featuring a 90 cm gas hob with dual electric oven, plentiful storage and bench space, it's a space where family meals, weekend baking, and friendly gatherings all feel right at home.Step outside, and the lifestyle truly comes alive. The undercover entertaining area overlooks a sparkling 11 x 5m saltwater pool, inviting long, lazy afternoons spent in the water or evenings unwinding. It's an idyllic setting for gatherings big or small, where the air feels fresher and time moves slower.For those who love their hobbies or need room for toys, the 7 x 9m shed offers generous storage for cars, boats, caravans, tools, or weekend projects. A chicken coop adds a charming country touch, perfect for fresh eggs and a taste of self-sufficiency, while a 5 kW solar system keeps the home energy-efficient and eco-conscious. There's also undercover parking for up to five cars, along with ample additional storage space beneath the house-a practical addition to this already versatile property.Rarely found, peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature, this is a home that truly feels like an escape, yet within minutes, you're connected to every convenience of city life.What you'll love:Circa 1900 heritage Queenslander relocated from BeaudesertPrivate 3516 m block surrounded by mature trees and lawnsFour spacious bedrooms (one currently a second living area)Master bedroom full of character with bay windowsGuest bedroom with its own ensuiteLarge traditional bathroom with cast iron clawfoot bathBeautiful character details: fretwork, VJ walls, high ceilings, polished hardwood floorsKitchen with 90 cm gas hob with electric dual oven, ample storage and bench spaceCooling cross-breezes and natural light throughoutLarge undercover poolside entertaining area11 x 5m saltwater swimming pool with lush surrounds7 x 9m shed with space for cars, tools and toys2 Water tanks with 8000 ltr capacityUndercover parking for 4 cars plus extra storage under the house5 kW solar system for energy efficiencyChicken coop for a relaxed, self-sufficient lifestyleWraparound verandas for peaceful outdoor livingMinutes to CBD, Manly, Bulimba and Port of BrisbaneWhether you're drawn by its story, its soul, or its setting, 66 Foley Road is more than a home-it's a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and create a life filled with warmth, laughter, and belonging.Contact The Susan Mills Team today....
