ALDERLEY MARKET PLACE
This elevated character home at 18 Welbeck Street, Alderley, is listed for $1.35 million.
North west of the CBD and nestled in between Ashgrove, Newmarket, Grange and Enoggera is Alderley, one of Brisbane’s older suburbs that boasts excellent transport links thanks to the local train station and a host of parks, playgrounds and new amenities like shopping centres. It’s about a 13-minute drive to the CBD outside of peak hour.
The highest house sale ever recorded in Alderley is for its most revered property, “Farrington”, a heritage-listed circa 1880s house at the top of the hill at David Street, which changed hands in 2003 for $3.15 million. Typically, many Alderley houses are character timber homes, although the subdivision of large blocks is seeing more contemporary homes built in recent years.
