Grand Toowong estate with 85 years of family history hits the market

Set on an elevated 814sqm double corner block at 11 Norwood Street, Toowong, this palatial residence blends Victorian-era grandeur with contemporary family living.

Ray White Toowong selling principal Reuben Packer-Hill is marketing the six-bedroom seven-bathroom property, recently listed for sale.

First built circa 1880 and extended with two architect-designed additions, the property has been lovingly maintained by the Armstrong family for more than eight decades.

"This home has been the heart of our family for 46 years," said owners William and Elizabeth Armstrong.

"It's where generations have grown up, celebrated milestones, and created countless memories,” Mr Armstrong said.

“We hope the next family will cherish it as much as we have.”

The home features a latticed porch, and inside there are soaring ceilings adorned with ornate plasterwork, elegant chandeliers, and polished timber floors.

The expansive floorplan provides versatility for modern family life, offering multiple living areas including a sitting room, dining room, library, and casual leisure spaces.

A veranda with city skyline views overlooks the swimming pool.

Mr Armstrong said the property's innovative 'East Wing' provides separation for extended family, teenagers, or guests, opening directly onto the poolside patio.

With five bedrooms - each with ensuites - and seven bathrooms, the home can accommodate large or multigenerational families.
