40 Gower Street

Positioned on a rare, flat 774sqm parcel in one of Toowong's most tightly held pockets, this charming 1920s Queenslander is being offered for only the third time in over 100 years - a true testament to its lifestyle and location. Set among lush gardens, the home feels like a private sanctuary. Alive with butterflies, lizards, and over 35 species of birds, it offers a tranquil, nature-filled setting just moments from everything. Beautifully preserved, the home retains its original character with VJ walls, polished hardwood floors, built-in cupboards, and authentic period fittings. Breezeways and windows on every wall maximise natural light and airflow throughout. Upstairs features a comfortable lounge, functional kitchen and dining with timber benchtops and gas cooking, and two generous bedrooms, all enjoying leafy, calming outlooks. The bathroom continues the home's charm with a clawfoot bath, brass fittings, and handmade tiles. The home has been thoughtfully raised offering a large, fully lower level featuring two spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom, along with a versatile, insulated living space with its own entry and direct backyard access - ideal for a home office, creative space, or separate living. The backyard is level, private, and perfect for families, with established trees, lawn, and veggie gardens. An extra-high carport provides drive-through access and suits larger vehicles. Elevated and peaceful, the home enjoys leafy outlooks toward Mt Coot-tha. Previously approved plans for a rear extension, deck, internal stairs, and additional parking further enhances this rare opportunity.
