Heritage Brisbane home acquired for $2.8M
A heritage-listed estate dating back to 1860 in Brisbane’s inner-city suburb of Spring Hill has sold.
‘Grangehill’, which is a six-bedroom (or five plus library), two-bathroom plus powder room house on 731 sqm at 449 Gregory Terrace, has been purchased for $2.8 million by local investors Caroline and Grant Fraser from the vendors, the Stoyle family.
The deal was struck by Knight Frank’s Christian Sandstrom, in conjunction with Ray White’s Patrick Goldsworthy.
Built in 1860 for prominent politician Alexander Raff, ‘Grangehill’ has gone through many lifetimes and historical changes over the past 160-plus years, including being held by the Discalced Carmelite Fathers, whose presence is still evident today through the ‘Cloister’ glass panel in the main hallway.
The home features wraparound verandas across both floors that take in the city vistas and views over The Old Museum, a formal living room and formal dining room with marble fireplace, a spacious kitchen with combined family meals area and secure undercover parking for six cars via Gregory Terrace.
It has heritage features including 3.6 metre ceilings downstairs and 3.4 metre ceilings upstairs, as well as two chimney stacks, two fireplaces, hoop pine floors, classic architraves, ceiling roses, chandeliers, bay windows, French doors and ornate cornices.
