A piece of Brisbane history, ‘Bancroft House’ is a lovingly restored historic home, perched in a leafy street overlooking the greenery of Bancroft Park. Number 30 offers a lifestyle of convenience and beauty, just steps from picnic areas, children’s playgrounds, and bike paths, whilst only 10 minutes to the CBD!

Sitting pride of place atop a fully fenced allotment, the front gate opens to reveal a beautifully landscaped yard and gardens. Entering the home, the interiors have been freshly painted and showcase original character breezeways, VJ walls, French doors, high ceilings and polished timber floors.
