One of New Farm's most incredible addresses and one of three iconic, once identical residences on Merthyr Road, 'Linsdale' is a heritage-listed colonial home that effortlessly combines historical charm with modern potential.

The units are equipped with gas cooktops, and the property includes a rear two-car carport with access from Lower Bowen Terrace.
