Maritimo is arguably Brisbane’s finest heritage riverfront property A wonderful example of both the California bungalow and the fruits of a prosperous decade in which she was built, Maritimo represents the very essence of traditional elegance. Occupying a sprawling 2300 m2 of land, this architecturally rich home features extensive panoramic views from each of its three levels.
This stunning residence was originally built in 1925, for and by prominent builder George Henry Turner, who also built Nazareth House, the New Farm Power House, the Light Street Tram Depot and the BASFS Building in the Brisbane CBD. The current owners purchased the property from the original owner/builder.
In 1994 Maritimo was featured in the book The Queensland House - A Roof Over Our Heads, with the following description:
“the mature development of the Bungalow style is demonstrated in this first-class house designed by Hall and Prentice and built by a master builder for his own use”
“Maritimo” is one of a few properties which, unlike neighbouring residences, has not been subdivided and therefore retains its relationship to the Brisbane River, its original boundaries and expansive, scenic presentation at the rear of the property.
Maritimo sits in an elevated position and therefore was unaffected by the recent floods and has no flood damage.
