This classic Colonial has been converted to 2 units and on offer is a spacious home across the upper level. What a fantastic location to enjoy the eclectic New Farm lifestyle.

Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate study and a seperate living area complete this charming residence. Offering a degree of flexibility, you could transform this already spacious abode into a six bedroom home, depending on your needs.
Situated in an exceptional position on vibrant Merthyr Road, everything is at your doorstep. Shops, restaurants, parks, transport and entertainment are all just a short stroll away. Additionally, the CBD is within minutes, putting you at the epicentre of the best that Brisbane has to offer. With versatility, location and traditional charm, this property definitely must be seen and at this price, will not be on the market long!
