Description

Step back in time and experience the timeless elegance of Rossall, a Federation (Bungalow) Queenslander steeped in history and charm. Built around 1910 for Edward Austin Bell, a distinguished accountant who later became the State Registrar for the Australasian Corporation of Public Accountants, this stately residence is a testament to Brisbane's rich heritage.

Nestled in the heart of Sandgate, Rossall boasts a connection to Brisbane's past like no other. Constructed during an era of opulence and refinement, its classic design reflects the work of renowned architect Richard Gailey, adding to its allure and prestige.

The name "Rossall" itself holds significance, paying homage to Rossall School, a prestigious institution in England where Bell received his education. With its storied past and architectural pedigree, Rossall embodies a sense of tradition and sophistication that is unique.

Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by spacious interiors adorned with period features, including high ceilings, ornate detailing, French doors and polished timber floors. The home offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an office, providing ample space for comfortable living and entertaining all on one level.

Situated on just over 1000m2 spread across two blocks, Rossall offers privacy and tranquillity within a lush garden setting. Outside, the expansive grounds offer ample space for outdoor living and entertaining, with the option to further enhance the property to suit your lifestyle. Whether relaxing on the verandah or enjoying the views of Bramble Bay, you'll find solace and serenity in this special retreat.

For those seeking a home that seamlessly blends history, character, and charm, Rossall presents an unparalleled opportunity. Despite the minor alterations over time, Rossall has retained its integrity, preserving the character and charm that makes it special. Whether relaxing in the spacious living areas, preparing meals in the well-appointed kitchen, or unwinding in one of the four bedrooms, you'll find that every corner of this home exudes warmth and comfort.

Rossall has already provided the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories with family and friends and now it is time, after more than 38 years to go to another family.

Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Brisbane's past and make your own memories in this iconic residence.
