Every now and again you come across a truly special property! Cook Terrace in Milton is considered an iconic landmark. It's one of few intact and surviving nineteenth-century terraces in Brisbane. An opportunity now exists to acquire a piece of Brisbane's history.
Constructed as a row of six houses in 1888-89 by Joseph Blain Cook, the Terraces became one of Brisbane's most prestigious residential addresses. Converted to commercial use in 1984 whilst retaining their character, the building has remained a visual landmark along Coronation Drive.
Terrace Home 5/249 Coronation Drive, Milton is currently being used as a Commercial Office. Beautifully refurbished, the property offers a mix of workstations and meeting areas so that staff and clients can enjoy the building's style and charm with all the technological conveniences expected by a modern business.
With 353m2 of space, Unit 5 spans over 3 levels, plus 2 floors in the additional extension at the rear on the lower and middle levels. The current commercial occupiers enjoy the use of 18 work stations, a board room, two meeting spaces, kitchen, kitchenette, bathroom, two powder rooms, courtyard and 5 secure underground car spaces.
However, imagine also renovating part or all of the property and living in this graceful old lady and calling it your home! Enjoy your morning coffee from the balcony overlooking the Brisbane River and watch the commuters drive by. Two of the other terraces have recently been renovated into luxurious residential homes. The neighbouring property floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, powder room, dining, living, kitchen, library, office and courtyard. The options to reconfigure the existing space are endless.
All this character and comfort is possible whilst being within walking distance of Park Road and its restaurants and cafes, the Brisbane CBD, Regatta Hotel, Toowong Village, Wesley Hospital and Suncorp Stadium. Not to mention being moments away from Southbank Parklands, QPAC as well as the Queens Wharf project which is currently under construction. This property is the very definition of location, location, location!!
The area is also serviced by all major public transport including ferry, buses and trains. Situated across the road from the Milton Ferry Terminal and with Milton Train Station only a short stroll away, multiple bus stops are also located in close proximity.
