'Zapeion' - An Iconic Brisbane Homestead

Resting pride of place atop Edmondstone Street with one of the most iconic façades in Brisbane, 'Zapeion' is a character homestead with a beautiful history and stunning views.

On the market for the first time, the house has been held by the same family since it was constructed in 1937. Designed by its original owner and built by GJ Hoare, the property blends traditional Queensland style with timeless Greek influence reflected in the ornate columns and sweeping archways.

Soaring 3.3-metre ceilings and casement windows invite sunshine, airflow and scenic aspects across the city skyline. These ceilings are ornamented with original plaster detailing that complement the surrounding French doors, leadlight panelling and picture rails.

Take in the mesmerising sights from the wraparound verandah. Gazing across the city skyscrapers, South Brisbane and Musgrave Park, you can sit back and relax as this illuminating backdrop transforms with the evening lights.

Ready for a new family to make their own, there are a world of opportunities to renovate or raise the house and build-in underneath (subject to council approval).
