Could this be Queensland city’s biggest home? With 16 bedrooms, it should come close and it’s already attracting several buyers. Look inside here:

A Toowoomba property with an incredible 16 bedrooms and six other rooms that is currently used for backpackers accommodation has hit the market.

Re/Max Success’s Jacqui Walker has listed the early 1900s home on Bridge Street in North Toowoomba for sale through an expressions of interest campaign.

The property, which is heritage-listed, has most recently been used as the Place 2 Stay backpackers hostel.

Ms Walker said as many as 50 people could be living in the charming but unloved home at once.

“It’s got heritage overlays, so you can’t knock down the front, but there’s plenty of potential,” she said.

“It’s still got all the approvals to be 16 bedrooms — they could have 50 people staying there at a time.

“It does need some work, it’s ripe for a renovation, it’s in operation as a backpackers, so it’s liveable.

“You’ve got the fireplace, the floorboards, so even painting it and getting rid of all the junk would do a lot.”

Ms Walker said the property, which she expected to sell for upwards of $1m, had already attracted a number of alternate uses.

“Lots of different people are interested in it, people want to turn it into a shelter, it could become boutique apartments, or made into new offices,” she said.

“It’s got a commercial element so that makes it valuable.

“To renovate it into beautiful boutique apartment rooms, like a boutique hotel would be fabulous.

“A DV shelter would be perfect in my mind too — we did have some people look into it for that.”
