Historic 'Robinson Farmhouse' Circa 1882 - Character, Pool & Parkland on 647m²

Some homes simply have a story to tell. Built in 1882 for local farmer William Bulcock Robinson, the beautiful Robinson Farmhouse is believed to be one of the oldest surviving homes in the Banyo/Nudgee district. Long before Banyo became the thriving suburb it is today, this charming farmhouse stood proudly among the rural farmland of the area.

Rich in character and steeped in local history, the home has been lovingly maintained for more than 140 years. Set on a generous 647m² block with landscaped gardens, a well manicured lawn and stunning inground pool, this timeless cottage captures the warmth, simplicity and craftsmanship of a bygone era while offering the comforts of modern living.

Enter the home directly into the inviting sunroom, (previously the open verandah) where classic timber walls and timeless charm instantly transport you back in time. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the history and care that has preserved in this remarkable home.

Thoughtfully updated, the home offers far more space than you might expect. There are three generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes, plus a separate study that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom for growing families or those working from home.

The spacious living area provides a welcoming place to relax, while the country-style kitchen overlooks the backyard and is both practical and full of future potential, perfect for those who may wish to modernise further and add their own touch over time. A beautifully renovated bathroom, separate toilet and mud room complete the interior, making the home comfortable and move-in ready.

Outside, you will discover a backyard designed for lifestyle. The sparkling inground pool creates the perfect setting for summer afternoons, family gatherings and relaxed weekends at home. Backing onto peaceful parkland, the property enjoys a rare sense of privacy and open space that is increasingly hard to find.

Positioned in the heart of Banyo on Saint Vincents Road, the location offers exceptional convenience. Local shops, cafés, schools, parks and train transport are all within easy walking distance, while the Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Airport are only a short drive away.
