A masterstroke of early 20th-century design by renowned architect Robin Dods, this heritage-listed Queenslander on a rare 734sqm dual-access allotment captures the essence of timeless architecture reimagined for modern family living.

Set privately behind manicured hedges and a traditional picket fence, 41 Abbott Street offers a compelling blend of historic significance, inner-city lifestyle, and contemporary functionality, an offering rarely found in New Farm.

Sympathetically updated while preserving hallmark Dods features of steep-pitched rooflines, deep verandahs, generous eaves and high ceilings the home is perfectly positioned between Abbott and Herbert Streets, with the rare convenience of dual street frontage and a secure double carport.

Inside, beautifully proportioned interiors are framed by rarely seen oiled timber VJ walls, French doors, and polished timber floors. The wide central hallway introduces a flexible floorplan with three bedrooms plus a study and an upper-level retreat ideal for work-from-home or multi-generational living.
