Constructed in 1914, the property has been home to only a handful of families throughout its 110-year history. The current owners, Gail and James Bradley, have maintained and restored the residence since purchasing it 44 years ago.

Hamilton, long considered one of Brisbane’s most prestigious suburbs, has seen significant development over recent decades. This property, however, stands as a testament to the area’s rich architectural heritage. It was originally constructed by prominent Brisbane retailer WH Overell and later became home to Sir James Blair, former Queensland Attorney-General and University of Queensland Chancellor.
