A meticulously restored 1920s Queenslander has hit the market on one of Bardon’s most tightly held streets, offering scale and style on an unusually large inner-city block.
With a prized north-east aspect with city views and a top-notch renovation, 22–24 Sixth Avenue, Bardon stands out from the crowd.
Set across an exceptionally large 964 sqm block, the home is a rare offering, especially considering the outstanding calibre of the house itself.

From the street, the traditional facade presents as classic and understated, but inside the home opens into a large, carefully considered family sanctuary spread across two expansive levels.
Original Queenslander features have been retained and restored, while a substantial extension introduces generous proportions and modern finishes.

Selling agent and Vivid Property Group principal Tom Murphy said the scale and finish of the home and its expansive outdoor spaces made it a highly sought-after property.
“Each year only a handful of large blocks change hands, but they don't often have a home of this quality on it,” he said.
Mr Murphy said the house had been a hit with upsizing buyers who were blown away by the luxury fitout and resort-like entertaining spaces.

“It’s been a mixture of local buyers living in that inner western pocket of Bardon, Paddington and Auchenflower,” he said. “We have had quite a bit of interstate enquiry from Sydney and Melbourne as well.”
“The quality of the finishes and attention to detail in the renovation is a standout.
“I’d say this will be one of the top five sales in the suburb.”
The main living level centres on a large kitchen, dining and living zone designed for everyday family use, with high-end appliances, stone benchtops and a seamless connection to the outdoors.

These spaces flow directly onto a covered veranda with an outdoor kitchen, with the elevated northeast-facing space capturing natural light and breezes throughout the day.
“Aspect is very important to a lot of buyers,” Mr Murphy said.
“A lot of people are very focused on finding properties that are north or northeast facing.”

A second entertaining area includes a pizza oven, a generous dining space, a heated swimming pool, firepit and a wide, level lawn – something that's quite hard to find in the hilly suburb.
“People are shocked by the outdoor space,” Mr Murphy said. “There’s fantastic entertainment spaces indoor and outdoors, but a flat lawn of that scale and size is very rare in the area.”

The home includes five oversized bedrooms, three bathrooms and a powder room, with the main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite, and a guest bedroom with its own ensuite providing flexibility for visitors, older children or extended family.
“It has a very functional floorplan that would work with people of all ages,” Mr Murphy said. “It’s a house you could stay in for a long time.”

A large garage and carport provides parking for up to seven vehicles, while smart lighting, security cameras and a 14kW solar system boost the home’s tech credentials.
Situated within the catchments of Rainworth State School and Kelvin Grove State College, and just minutes from Rosalie Village and the CBD, the home combines position, scale and comfort in one of Bardon’s most desirable pockets.
