Sherwood Classic, City Views & Dual Living
40 Plumer Street is a rare and authentic piece of Queensland history, a beautifully preserved high-set character home that celebrates over 120 years of architectural heritage, while delivering modern comfort and exceptional flexibility for today’s family.
Positioned in one of Sherwood’s most admired streets and surrounded by elegant character homes, this residence immediately commands attention with its classical façade, original fretwork, and timeless street presence. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is not simply a home, it’s a legacy property.
At the rear of the property sits a newly built (2024), council-approved modular granny flat/ studio, a standout feature that significantly enhances the home’s versatility and future value. The studio is a one bedroom, fully self-contained unit with private side access and would be perfect as a home office, multigenerational living or even an added income source.
Inside, the home showcases an extraordinary level of original detail, including timber fretwork, original stained glass, antique hardware, VJ walls, picture rails, and soaring 3.35m ceilings. These heritage features are beautifully complemented by thoughtful updates, creating a home that feels both historically rich and effortlessly liveable.
The interior palette remains classic and neutral, allowing the original architecture to take centre stage. Antique light fittings, ceiling fans, plantation shutters and split-system air conditioning ensure comfort year-round, with cooling breezes flowing naturally throughout the home.
Living is arranged across two generous levels, connected by an internal staircase with a cleverly integrated built-in work desk and office station beneath, ideal for working from home.
Upstairs, two bedrooms open via French doors onto the veranda, capturing leafy outlooks, big sky views, and beautiful breezes. The main bathroom was renovated in 2022, featuring elegant brass fittings that respect the home’s era while delivering modern luxury. From the kitchen window and rear deck, elevated city views create a beautiful day-to-night backdrop for everyday living and entertaining.
The open-plan kitchen is both practical and stylish, offering an island bench, wall oven, electric cooking and excellent storage, flowing seamlessly to the rear deck with exterior blinds, a perfect outdoor living zone overlooking established private gardens and mature hedges.
Downstairs, the home continues to impress with a second living area, two generous bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and excellent storage, a large bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath with shower over, and a separate laundry. French doors open to the front courtyard and cottage garden, while at the rear large sliding doors connect the living space directly to a second rear deck with composite decking boards giving access to the garden, creating effortless indoor/outdoor flow.
The property is fully fenced and exceptionally pet-friendly, with a dog ramp allowing easy access between levels, pet doors for free movement, and secure outdoor spaces throughout. There is also security screens and doors on all accessible doors and windows, providing peace of mind without compromising the home’s character.
Additional features include a new roof within the last 10 years, undercover parking for two vehicles (including carport), solid fencing, garden equipment storage, and established landscaped gardens that wrap the home in privacy and greenery.
