Last Listing description (June 2026)
53 Balmain Street is a five bedroom, three bathroom contemporary Queenslander on 822m, a tightly held double block in one of Brisbane's most heritage protected inner north pockets. Acquired by the original family in 1972 and held for 51 years, the home is now offered by only its second owner, who has delivered a complete transformation: the proportions and character of the original interwar home retained, the spaces and finishes built for the way a contemporary family actually lives.
The position is the story. 650 metres to Eagle Junction Station, an 8 minute walk, 12 minutes by train to Brisbane Central. The home sits at the centre of one of Brisbane's strongest school clusters: Eagle Junction State School, Wooloowin State School, Kedron State High, Holy Cross Catholic Primary, and Clayfield College. Private school bus services for St Margaret's, Churchie, and Nudgee run through the Wooloowin corridor.
396m of built area, 308m internal, 88m external. The ground floor is organised around a central kitchen, dining, and living spine opening through full height glazing onto a covered terrace, sparkling in-ground pool, and a large flat grassed yard. A private guest suite with its own bathroom sits at the front of the home, ideal for extended family or visitors. The well appointed laundry includes external access, and the double garage and entry sit at street level. Upstairs, the main bedroom features a private balcony, walk-in robe, and ensuite, with three further bedrooms organised around a central family bathroom and a dedicated multi-purpose room, a fifth living space, study, or home office separated from the bedroom wing.
The finishes carry the renovation's intent: European oak floors, natural Tundra Grey interior stone, Emerald Granite to the outdoor kitchen, brushed nickel fixtures throughout, Smeg appliances, natural travertine to external tiling, and VJ wall detailing across the home. Morning sun captures the pool, afternoon sun warms the lawn, golden glow through to evening.
The land is structurally rare. 822m, a double 16 perch allotment under Brisbane's 1885 subdivision framework, a footprint that cannot be re-created in this corridor. Elevated above the surrounding streetscape, with 426m of outdoor living: more outside space alone than most $5M tier inner Brisbane homes offer in total land area.
And the corridor is moving. Wooloowin has delivered the strongest five-year capital growth in Brisbane's inner-north (99.25%). $7.1 billion of funded public and private infrastructure is under way within 4 kilometres, including Cross River Rail (2029), the Brisbane 2032 Athletes Village at the RNA, Geon's $750M Albion Station TOD, and the Toombul precinct redevelopment.
