The home at 39 Surrey Street, Hyde Park.
Enjoy entertaining and living a life of luxury with this Surrey street address set on a whopping 2,299sq m block.
Steeped in history, the current owners said 39 Surrey St, Hyde Park started out as one of the US Forces headquarters during World War II.
It was located on Sturt Street, before being shifted to Surrey Street on the edge of town in case of a bombing to the middle of the town.
After the war it was sold to Popham Brothers, who used it for their timber business, and then bought by a developer who spent two years rebuilding it after pulling it apart.
Timber floors and detailing feature throughout the home.
Having lived there for 13 years, the current owners said “it was basically just finished when (they) purchased it.”
“We were both born in the Burdekin and became aware of this property and really liked what we saw, so we bought it and moved in May, 2010,” they said.
“We were very impressed by how quiet it was sitting on the deck enjoying a beer after work considering you were living in quite a big city where traffic noise is always expected.”

“We have very fond memories of parties on the deck where we have had sixty people attend plus a band and the roast caterers, and there was still room for everyone,” the current owners said.
