175 Arthur Street, Fortitude Valley, QLD 4006

Presenting​ ​an​ ​exceptionally​ ​rare​ ​opportunity​ ​in​ ​Arthur​ ​Street,​ ​just​ ​moments​ ​from​ ​Brisbane's​ ​celebrated​ ​James​ ​Street​ ​precinct:​ ​two​ ​distinctive​ ​residences​ ​on​ ​one​ ​title,​ ​occupying​ ​an​ ​approximately​ ​465​ ​sqm​ ​inner-city​ ​allotment​ ​with​ ​elevated​ ​views​ ​across​ ​the​ ​surrounding​ ​rooftops​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Brisbane​ ​skyline.

Positioned​ ​privately​ ​at​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​is​ ​an​ ​impressive​ ​architecturally​ ​designed​ ​contemporary​ ​residence,​ ​constructed​ ​in​ ​2005.​ ​

Set​ ​across​ ​two​ ​thoughtfully​ ​planned​ ​levels,​ ​the​ ​home​ ​combines​ ​architectural​ ​character,​ ​generous​ ​accommodation​ ​and​ ​excellent​ ​separation​ ​between​ ​its​ ​living​ ​and​ ​sleeping​ ​zones.

At​ ​the​ ​front​ ​of​ ​the​ ​property,​ ​a​ ​traditional​ ​three-bedroom​ ​worker's​ ​cottage​ ​brings​ ​its​ ​own​ ​personality​ ​and​ ​possibilities.​ ​Complete​ ​with​ ​a​ ​sunroom,​ ​spacious​ ​central​ ​living​ ​area,​ ​kitchen,​ ​lower-level​ ​rumpus​ ​and​ ​renovated​ ​bathroom,​ ​it​ ​could​ ​accommodate​ ​extended​ ​family,​ ​adult​ ​children,​ ​guests​ ​or​ ​tenants​ ​while​ ​remaining​ ​separate​ ​from​ ​the​ ​main​ ​residence.

Live​ ​in​ ​one​ ​and​ ​lease​ ​the​ ​other,​ ​create​ ​a​ ​multi-generational​ ​family​ ​compound,​ ​or​ ​explore​ ​the​ ​considerable​ ​investment​ ​potential​ ​offered​ ​by​ ​two​ ​homes​ ​in​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Brisbane's​ ​most​ ​tightly​ ​held​ ​lifestyle​ ​locations.

The​ ​Character​ ​Worker's​ ​Cottage

Positioned​ ​at​ ​the​ ​front​ ​of​ ​the​ ​block​ ​and​ ​framed​ ​by​ ​a​ ​traditional​ ​front​ ​façade,​ ​the​ ​original​ ​late​ ​1800s​ ​cottage​ ​opens​ ​to​ ​an​ ​enclosed​ ​and​ ​screened​ ​sunroom​ ​filled​ ​with​ ​natural​ ​light.​ ​This​ ​inviting​ ​space​ ​would​ ​make​ ​a​ ​charming​ ​sitting​ ​room,​ ​reading​ ​area​ ​or​ ​peaceful​ ​home​ ​office.

Beyond​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a​ ​substantial​ ​combined​ ​lounge​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​room​ ​featuring​ ​two​ ​ceiling​ ​fans,​ ​split-system​ ​air​ ​conditioning​ ​and​ ​a​ ​convenient​ ​servery​ ​connecting​ ​the​ ​living​ ​space​ ​with​ ​the​ ​kitchen.

The​ ​cottage​ ​offers​ ​three​ ​bedrooms,​ ​including​ ​one​ ​with​ ​beautiful​ ​coloured-glass​ ​casement​ ​windows,​ ​together​ ​with​ ​original​ ​timber​ ​flooring​ ​through​ ​much​ ​of​ ​the​ ​upper​ ​level.

The​ ​character-filled​ ​kitchen​ ​includes​ ​painted​ ​timber​ ​cabinetry,​ ​glass-fronted​ ​overhead​ ​cupboards,​ ​a​ ​four-burner​ ​gas​ ​cooktop,​ ​additional​ ​electric​ ​hob,​ ​Smeg​ ​oven​ ​and​ ​deep​ ​black​ ​sink.

Downstairs,​ ​the​ ​versatile​ ​rumpus​ ​area​ ​is​ ​accompanied​ ​by​ ​a​ ​renovated​ ​bathroom​ ​with​ ​walk-in​ ​shower​ ​and​ ​above-bench​ ​basin,​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​renovated​ ​toilet​ ​and​ ​an​ ​enclosed​ ​laundry.​ ​

While​ ​functional​ ​in​ ​its​ ​current​ ​form,​ ​this​ ​lower​ ​level​ ​also​ ​presents​ ​scope​ ​for​ ​a​ ​future​ ​owner​ ​to​ ​enhance​ ​and​ ​personalise​ ​the​ ​space.

The​ ​Contemporary​ ​Rear​ ​Residence

Timber​ ​flooring,​ ​plantation​ ​shutters​ ​and​ ​carefully​ ​positioned​ ​windows​ ​create​ ​a​ ​warm,​ ​light-filled​ ​interior​ ​across​ ​both​ ​levels.

Three​ ​bedrooms​ ​and​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​study​ ​are​ ​positioned​ ​downstairs,​ ​providing​ ​excellent​ ​flexibility​ ​for​ ​families,​ ​guests​ ​or​ ​those​ ​working​ ​from​ ​home.​ ​Each​ ​of​ ​the​ ​three​ ​bedrooms​ ​includes​ ​built-in​ ​storage,​ ​ceiling​ ​fans​ ​and​ ​split-system​ ​air​ ​conditioning,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​study​ ​is​ ​surrounded​ ​by​ ​windows​ ​and​ ​finished​ ​with​ ​distinctive​ ​feature​ ​wallpaper.

The​ ​ground​ ​floor​ ​also​ ​includes​ ​a​ ​family​ ​bathroom​ ​with​ ​a​ ​shower​ ​over​ ​the​ ​bathtub,​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​powder​ ​room,​ ​excellent​ ​built-in​ ​storage​ ​and​ ​a​ ​spacious​ ​internal​ ​laundry​ ​opening​ ​to​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​grassed​ ​area​ ​and​ ​clothesline.

A​ ​beautiful​ ​timber​ ​staircase​ ​leads​ ​to​ ​the​ ​expansive​ ​upper​ ​level,​ ​where​ ​the​ ​open-plan​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​area​ ​captures​ ​natural​ ​light,​ ​cooling​ ​breezes​ ​and​ ​an​ ​impressive​ ​outlook​ ​across​ ​the​ ​suburb​ ​to​ ​the​ ​city.

The​ ​adjoining​ ​kitchen​ ​is​ ​generously​ ​appointed​ ​with​ ​engineered​ ​stone​ ​benchtops,​ ​Bosch​ ​electric​ ​oven​ ​and​ ​cooktop,​ ​Miele​ ​dishwasher,​ ​extensive​ ​overhead​ ​cabinetry,​ ​full-height​ ​pantry,​ ​double-bowl​ ​sink,​ ​large​ ​refrigerator​ ​space,​ ​abundant​ ​windows​ ​and​ ​natural​ ​light.

The​ ​oversized​ ​master​ ​suite​ ​enjoys​ ​complete​ ​separation​ ​as​ ​the​ ​only​ ​bedroom​ ​on​ ​this​ ​level.​ ​It​ ​incorporates​ ​a​ ​large​ ​walk-through​ ​wardrobe​ ​with​ ​extensive​ ​shelving​ ​and​ ​drawers,​ ​along​ ​with​ ​direct​ ​access​ ​to​ ​a​ ​two-way​ ​ensuite​ ​featuring​ ​a​ ​shower​ ​over​ ​the​ ​bathtub,​ ​built-in​ ​storage​ ​and​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​toilet.

Opening​ ​from​ ​the​ ​living​ ​area,​ ​the​ ​elevated​ ​timber​ ​balcony​ ​provides​ ​space​ ​to​ ​relax,​ ​entertain​ ​or​ ​establish​ ​an​ ​outdoor​ ​barbecue​ ​area​ ​while​ ​taking​ ​in​ ​views​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​city​ ​and​ ​The​ ​Calile​ ​Hotel.

Additional​ ​features​ ​include​ ​split-system​ ​air​ ​conditioning​ ​throughout​ ​most​ ​rooms,​ ​ceiling​ ​fans,​ ​a​ ​secure​ ​remote-controlled​ ​garage​ ​with​ ​epoxy​ ​flooring,​ ​an​ ​electric​ ​driveway​ ​gate​ ​and​ ​valuable​ ​turning​ ​space​ ​adjacent​ ​to​ ​the​ ​residence.

A​ ​Location​ ​Known​ ​Around​ ​the​ ​World

Approximately​ ​60​ ​metres​ ​from​ ​the​ ​James​ ​Street​ ​precinct,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​location​ ​where​ ​some​ ​of​ ​Brisbane's​ ​finest​ ​restaurants,​ ​cafés,​ ​boutiques,​ ​bars,​ ​wellness​ ​destinations​ ​and​ ​specialty​ ​retailers​ ​are​ ​practically​ ​at​ ​the​ ​doorstep.

The​ ​internationally​ ​recognised​ ​Calile​ ​Hotel​ ​is​ ​also​ ​within​ ​sight​ ​of​ ​the​ ​property.​ ​The​ ​hotel​ ​was​ ​ranked​ ​No.34​ ​in​ ​The​ ​World's​ ​50​ ​Best​ ​Hotels​ ​2025,​ ​marking​ ​its​ ​third​ ​consecutive​ ​appearance​ ​on​ ​the​ ​prestigious​ ​global​ ​list​ ​(the​ ​only​ ​hotel​ ​in​ ​Oceania/Australia​ ​to​ ​achieve​ ​this​ ​for​ ​3​ ​consecutive​ ​years)

Fortitude​ ​Valley,​ ​New​ ​Farm,​ ​Howard​ ​Smith​ ​Wharves​ ​and​ ​Brisbane's​ ​CBD​ ​are​ ​all​ ​within​ ​easy​ ​reach,​ ​yet​ ​the​ ​property​ ​itself​ ​enjoys​ ​a​ ​surprisingly​ ​private​ ​and​ ​residential​ ​atmosphere.

A​ ​Property​ ​with​ ​Genuine​ ​Possibilities

Few​ ​inner-city​ ​properties​ ​offer​ ​this​ ​level​ ​of​ ​flexibility.

The​ ​layout​ ​may​ ​appeal​ ​to:
-​ ​Extended​ ​or​ ​multigenerational​ ​families
-​ ​Buyers​ ​seeking​ ​separate​ ​accommodation​ ​for​ ​parents​ ​or​ ​adult​ ​children

-​ ​Investors​ ​wanting​ ​two​ ​potential​ ​income​ ​streams

-​ ​Owner-occupiers​ ​looking​ ​to​ ​live​ ​in​ ​one​ ​residence​ ​and​ ​lease​ ​the​ ​other

-​ ​Buyers​ ​requiring​ ​guest,​ ​staff​ ​or​ ​home-business​ ​accommodation

-​ ​Those​ ​wishing​ ​to​ ​explore​ ​short-term​ ​accommodation​ ​opportunities,​ ​subject​ ​to​ ​the​ ​necessary​ ​approvals

Architectural​ ​quality,​ ​traditional​ ​character,​ ​multiple​ ​living​ ​options​ ​and​ ​an​ ​outstanding​ ​James​ ​Street​ ​location​ ​combine​ ​to​ ​create​ ​an​ ​offering​ ​that​ ​would​ ​be​ ​exceptionally​ ​difficult​ ​to​ ​reproduce.

Two​ ​homes,​ ​one​ ​title​ ​and​ ​almost​ ​limitless​ ​potential​ ​—​ ​right​ ​in​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Brisbane's​ ​most​ ​desirable​ ​lifestyle​ ​precincts.
