Clayfield 51 Bellevue Terrace

Historic Clayfield Queenslander, Enriched with Classic Heritage Charm

This classic Queenslander isn't just a much-loved home - it's a proud piece of Clayfield history. Formerly known as "The P&O House", this remarkable heritage haven has been held by the same family for 57 years (one of only three custodians since its late 1800s debut) and has been the centre of generations of joy. Nestled on a lush and leafy 1303m2 block, it gazes out across the treetops from its elevated position, offering cooling bay breezes from the north-east aspect. Indoors, ornate skirting boards, cornices and ceiling roses are a nod to its original era, while original wooden floors and breezeways add extra character. A 1950s mural by a local artist in the kitchen further enhances its nostalgic allure, plus a bay window and original fireplace in the flexible living/dining zone evokes the grace and charm of a bygone era.

Five bedrooms and two bathrooms also feature, including a generous-sized master suite with a separate dressing room and shared ensuite. Here, French doors open to the front verandah or step through the archway to a pleasant sitting area which catches the morning sun. Additionally, take advantage of a substantial sunroom (ideal as an office, library, or 6th bedroom) plus a main bathroom with original corrugated iron splashback, juxtaposed with a modern freestanding bath. Outdoors, established gardens frame the home, complemented by a full-size tennis court, patiently awaiting restoration. There's even a place for sundowners on the covered alfresco timber deck!

Nestled on a 1303m2 block in a prestigious enclave close to shops, cafes, parks and public transport as well as exclusive schools, give this grand dame her next exciting chapter and be part of a legacy that transcends time – arrange your inspection today.
