Sick of neighbours? House on a giant traffic island for sale

Corner-block properties don’t come to market every day, but a house with a triple street frontage is an even rarer sight.

One house breaking that mould is Avondale, a federation Queenslander in the Brisbane suburb of Teneriffe.

Set on a wedge-shaped triangle of land, the home is surrounded by roads on all three sides.

In effect, the owner of the property will have access to a unique urban island in the middle of the city.

The block may be unusual in shape, but it’s certainly generous in size. More than 1150 square metres of land are up for grabs, while the house itself offers 351 square metres of floor space.

“With no immediate neighbours and over 150 metres of exclusive street frontage, this landholding is one of the most prestigious and sought-after in riverside Teneriffe,” the listing says.

Avondale was built in 1901 and is a prime example of early federation architecture.

Its classic facade has been beautifully preserved, with cream-coloured weatherboarding, large verandahs and a gabled tin roof.

Inside, the home’s historic features are in an immaculate condition. Polished hardwood floors, ornate cornicing and lofty three-metre ceilings give the house a sense of understated grandeur.

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an abundance of open-plan living areas, the period property is not short on space.

Outside, established gardens with tall trees and hedges hide a sun-drenched pool and spa.

Matt Lancashire from Ray White New Farm is the lead agent for this property. The house will go to auction at the end of November.

Queensland’s auction rules forbid disclosing a price guide on properties scheduled for auction.
