15 Magee Street

Rich in history and quietly positioned within one of Graceville's most tightly held streets, this distinguished brick residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a meaningful piece of Brisbane's architectural past. Built by renowned builder Sir Walter Taylor, the home is one of only six original Brick War Service Homes constructed in Queensland, standing as a lasting tribute to the state's wartime legacy and enduring craftsmanship. Framed by its warm brick façade and charming entryways, the home immediately evokes timeless character. Inside, original features have been thoughtfully preserved, including high ceilings, pendant lighting, stained-glass windows and doors, and ornate breezeways, all contributing to a residence of authenticity and quiet elegance. Designed for year-round comfort, the home benefits from excellent natural airflow, enhanced by an under-house ventilation system that promotes cross-ventilation. Its solid double brick construction and concrete flooring create a natural thermal mass, keeping interiors cool in summer and warm in winter, while further underpinning adds strength and longevity. The layout offers multiple living zones suited to both family life and entertaining. A central living and dining area flows seamlessly to outdoor entertaining through timber French doors. The kitchen is functional and character-rich, featuring quality appliances, generous preparation space, and warm timber finishes. A separate butler's pantry with its own external entry also serves as a well-appointed laundry, complete with custom shelving and excellent storage. A light-filled sunroom adjoins the master bedroom and bathroom, creating a private parents' retreat. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a main bathroom with distinctive brick detailing. Outdoors, the expansive grounds allow for a rare full circuit around the home, providing space for children to play and explore. Established greenery, a pool, and a detached studio further enhance the lifestyle, offering flexibility as a home office, creative retreat, or teenage hideaway. There is also clear scope to further enhance the property, including the addition of a carport (STCA) and the opportunity to elevate the outdoor entertaining area with a wood-fired pizza oven, ideally positioned beneath the established mango tree or along the boundary.
