Windsor Queenslander under the hammer in 120-year first

BIDDERS have the chance to snap up an exciting renovation project with huge potential as a Windsor Queenslander heads to auction for the first time in 120 years, at 31 Turner Street.

“This house is a fantastic opportunity for a couple or family to come in, with essentially a blank canvas, and create their forever home,” said Ray White Lutwyche Principal Michael McMahon.

“It’s one of the few original Queenslanders left in the area and is in mostly original condition, with only a few minor renovations carried out over time.

“To have one family own a single home for such a long time is incredibly rare and it has a great history of raising children and happy memories.

“My own family actually have personal associations with the family as we’ve lived just around the corner for some time.

“In fact, my great grandfather used to be the original groundskeeper at the Windsor Croquet and Bowls Club, where the vendors were members.

“I know they were very proud of their house and I’m pleased to be the one representing such a lovely family.”

Ray White Lutwyche Sales Executive Brad Aleixo said the positioning of the house and its location would be real drawcards.

“The house is set on a corner block with a land size of 653sq m* so there’s the opportunity to renovate or to build under the house,” Mr Aleixo said.

“This is inner-city living at its best, just 4km* from Brisbane CBD and in the catchment for Windsor School and Kedron State High School.

“The area's also steeped in history, with the on-your-doorstep Windsor Park used as an airfield during the Second World War, and Allan Border Field just around the corner.

“The home currently comes with three bedrooms, one bathroom with separate toilet, and has a separate lounge and dining area.”
