12 Finch Street, Stafford Heights.
A meticulously renovated 1960s Brisbane home featuring rare architectural elements and mountain views has hit the market, with the owner calling it “truly irreplaceable”.
After two years, vendor Steven Coman is selling his two-level home on the Brisbane’s northside due to work commitments.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom property at 12 Finch St, Stafford Heights is being marketed by Ray White Wilston agent Holly Bowden and is set to go to auction on November 22.
The house has been meticulously renovated.
It includes a Hills Hoyst clothesline.
Ms Bowden said in terms of fixtures and features, the home was curated to a “meticulous level”.
“It’s been given a glow up by the previous owners while still honouring the original aesthetics,” Ms Bowden said.
“I have had buyers in the architectural and construction industry who have commented on the beautiful texture of block work, which you cannot do anymore.”
With room to “drop in a pool”, Ms Bowden said the property was ideal for a couple or family.

Set on a 642 sqm block of land opposite Stafford Heights State School’s playing fields, the property offers a connection between design, nature, and daily living, Ms Bowden said.
The upper level includes ses open-plan living with travertine flooring, a double-sided fireplace, and New Guinea rosewood ceilings.
Ms Bowden said original glass sliding doors open to private patios, where mountain views extend to Mt Coot-tha.
Above a sculptural riverstone spiral staircase there are three bedrooms featuring custom timber cabinetry with internal lighting and designer carpet.

Ms Bowden said downstairs had a fourth bedroom, additional living area, bathroom and dedicated office or library space.
Mr Coman said among the home’s quirky charms was the upstairs bathroom, featuring a unique fibreglass-style window with flowers, petals, and butterflies interlaced throughout the material.
“When the light hits it, it illuminates beautifully,” Mr Coman said.
He said original doors remain throughout, complete with charming hidden storage on their reverse sides.
“The blockwork is really interesting – it’s textural and picks up all the light that comes through, with lots of colour flecks but not harsh on the eye.
“The 1960s feel has been completely respected.”
