19 Derby Street,

Balmoral

Set on a generous 696m2 allotment with excellent street presence, this charming residence beautifully blends timeless character with the ease of relaxed riverside living. Positioned in a tightly held Hawthorne pocket, the home offers an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a property rich in period appeal, with outstanding scope to further enhance, renovate or extend over time (STCA).

From the moment you arrive, the home's classic facade and welcoming entry hint at the warmth and character within. Inside, traditional features are thoughtfully complemented by light-filled interiors, creating a home that feels both inviting and functional. The flexible layout is well suited to professionals seeking additional space to work from home, as well as growing families looking for room to evolve as their needs change.

High ceilings, dark timber floors and wide banks of windows contribute to a sense of openness and natural light throughout the main living areas, while the home's original charm provides a solid foundation for future updates. Whether you choose to move straight in and enjoy the home as it is, or reimagine the space with a contemporary renovation, the possibilities here are compelling. The generous block size and level backyard further enhance the appeal, offering ample room to extend, lift, or create additional living zones while retaining valuable outdoor space.

At the rear, a sparkling pool and impressive poolside cabana create a private retreat ideal for entertaining or unwinding, reinforcing the home's relaxed lifestyle credentials. Combined with its proximity to Oxford Street, Hawthorne Road, riverwalks and transport, this is a home that delivers immediate comfort today, with exciting potential for tomorrow.

Homes of this calibre, on blocks of this size, in such a premium inner-east location are becoming increasingly scarce. This is a standout opportunity to secure a character-filled residence with lifestyle appeal and long-term upside, just 7km from the Brisbane CBD.
