Auction Location: On-Site: 53 Merthyr Road, New Farm

One of New Farm's most incredible addresses and one of three iconic, once identical residences on Merthyr Road, 'Linsdale' is a heritage-listed colonial home that effortlessly combines historical charm with modern potential. Positioned on a 503sqm allotment with dual street access in the highly sought-after lifestyle of New Farm, this property offers a wealth of possibilities. Whether you choose to preserve its classic appeal, renovate it into your dream home, or maximize income by renting all units, this home stands as a testament to the period's flamboyant style.

Currently utilised as an investment property, each of the four units features dual entry access, an open-plan design with polished hardwood floors, and air-conditioning in the living areas. The units are equipped with gas cooktops, and the property includes a rear two-car carport with access from Lower Bowen Terrace. Additionally, under-home laundry facilities and a storage area are provided for convenience. 

The front two units have been thoughtfully updated to preserve the charm of existing house.  They are now adjoined by a lockable door to create a spacious three-bedroom apartment while generating respectable rental income. Located at the rear of the house, units three and four feature one-bedroom, a combined living and dining area adjoining the kitchen.

Built adjacent to two exemplary homes, this property showcases the potential for transformation and consolidation if you choose to renovate.
