28 Terrace Street, New Farm, Qld 4005

Tucked quietly away in a peaceful leafy laneway, this beautifully maintained 1880s workers' cottage is a truly special offering in the heart of New Farm.

Offered to the market for the first time in 32 years, McCormack Cottage is a charming two-bedroom residence which presents a rare opportunity to secure a genuine piece of New Farm history, thoughtfully cared for and updated over the years while retaining the character and charm that makes homes of this era so sought-after.

Positioned on a private 197m² parcel, the home is surrounded by established greenery, creating an incredibly peaceful and private sanctuary that feels worlds away from the energy of the city, yet is moments from everything New Farm has to offer.

At the front of the home, the full-length front veranda, complete with its original bullnose tin roof, creates the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind in the afternoon. Inside, the home is warm, inviting and exceptionally well maintained, with original character beautifully complemented by practical modern updates.

The heart of the home centres around the original brick fireplace, creating a beautiful focal point and adding warmth, character and personality to the living space. At the rear, large bifold doors seamlessly connect the interior with the covered rear deck and leafy garden beyond, creating an effortless connection between the home and its private outdoor setting.

Both bedrooms feature reverse-cycle air conditioning, while solar panels and a water tank add further practicality to this wonderfully efficient home.

The kitchen, bathroom and carport were renovated and the covered rear deck was added in 2010, with further improvements undertaken throughout the past decade including new carpet and repainting. The original fireplace was also carefully renovated in 2022, with the entire property continually maintained to an exceptional standard by its current owners.
