Last Listing description (September 2026)
A treasured piece of Brisbane's architectural history, 'Rose Hill' occupies a commanding elevated position on MacDonald Street with an impressive 25-metre frontage. Built c.1896 by local coffee stall vendor Samuel Marriott following his purchase of land in the historic 'Croydon Park' estate subdivision, this landmark Federation Queenslander originally sat facing Watson Street accessed via a private carriage easement before the second-stage township development created Macdonald Street in 1915. Beautifully updated to balance heritage grandeur with a contemporary aesthetic, this three-bedroom residence presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the custodian of a home woven into the very fabric of the inner east.
Rich in character and enduring craftsmanship, the residence showcases classic corrugated iron roofing, timber weatherboard construction, wrap-around verandahs, and soaring VJ ceilings complete with pressed metal cornices. Inside, ornate archways, original VJ walls, and intricate leadlight windows capture the light, while polished timber-look floors and a crisp white colour palette foster a bright, timeless ambiance throughout.
At the heart of the home, a generous open-plan living and dining domain is anchored by an enchanting classic fireplace. Flowing seamlessly from the central living area, the well-equipped kitchen features quality appliances, tiled splashbacks, and expansive cupboard storage, catering effortlessly to family living and entertaining. Outdoors, the breezy wrap-around verandah provides the ultimate setting for sunset drinks and al fresco dining. Set over 1,183sqm, the vast, fully fenced, level backyard, provides endless space for children and pets.
The accommodation comprises three light-filled bedrooms with built-in robes, including a graceful master suite featuring direct verandah access and a stylish modern ensuite with frameless glass shower. The secondary bedrooms are serviced by a main bathroom equipped with a traditional clawfoot bath with overhead shower. Complete with a dedicated study area, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, plantation shutters, multiple storerooms, a separate laundry, and off-street parking, every modern convenience has been thoughtfully integrated into this historic sanctuary.
Positioned on a substantial nineteenth-century lot just 6km from the Brisbane CBD, this landmark address presents a lifestyle of prestige and potential, with room for future extensions (subject to council approval).
