Last Listing description (October 2025)
Welcome to 97 Palm Avenue, Shorncliffe - a rare opportunity to secure one of the area's most significant family homes, rich in local history and ideally positioned on an expansive 1,144m² block in one of Brisbane's most tightly held bayside communities.
Originally part of land owned by William John Loudon - prominent 19th-century hotelier and developer of the Sandgate Hotel (built in 1862) - this property is woven into the early story of the Shorncliffe and Sandgate region. Palm Avenue itself was once known as Garden Lane, then Creek Street, before adopting its current name in 1882. This home, generously scaled and full of character, is a lasting tribute to the area's heritage.
Spanning approximately 338m² of internal living, the home offers six spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, a separate study, and multiple living areas including a full-length enclosed sunroom that invites sea breezes and morning light. Period features such as soaring ceilings, VJ walls, timber floors and original fireplaces add warmth, charm and a strong sense of identity.
Set on a level 1,144m² parcel, the home occupies just 28% of the site, offering ample outdoor space framed by established gardens and mature fruit trees. A 14-metre-long garage and under-house storage add functionality, while the property's generous footprint lends itself to families, multi-generational living or future design potential (STCA). The home sits within Brisbane City Council and is not affected by flood, bushfire, or heritage overlays. Its pre-war status suggests a character overlay, preserving the charm that defines this beautiful home.

• Original Fireplace: An original fireplace serves as a central feature, adding warmth and character to the living areas.
• Large Water Tank: A substantial water tank ensures sustainability, complementing the property's commitment to preserving its heritage.
• Large Backyard with Room for a Pool: The expansive backyard offers ample space, providing the perfect setting to install a swimming pool and create your own private oasis. Incorporating a pool into the garden of a historical home enhances its charm and offers a luxurious retreat while preserving the property's character.
Located within walking distance of the Shorncliffe waterfront, the iconic pier, rail links, parklands, and popular schools including Shorncliffe State School and St Patrick's College, this residence offers a highly sought-after lifestyle in one of Brisbane's most charming bayside pockets.
