224 Flinders Parade, Sandgate
Front-Row Living, Storybook Charm
There are homes that simply occupy a location… and then there are homes forged in history!
“’The Ripples’ is a modest timber cottage built circa 1906 when Sandgate was a popular seaside destination for Brisbane’s holiday makers. Used in the past as a seaside rental property, it has a picturesque design with two projecting gables and contributes to the historic townscape of Sandgate, particularly along the esplanade.”

224 Flinders feels extraordinary from dawn to dusk. Nourishing the family against a backdrop of the glistening bay, where paddleboards slip into the water & kites drift across the horizon. Children racing toward the shoreline as the village slowly wakes behind you.
Inside, the home reveals itself in layers, grand spaces for gathering, paired with quiet nooks and hidden hideaways. Heritage charm meets exquisite architectural detail, creating a home where children build worlds of their own, cupboards become castles, and afternoons disappear into storytelling & laughter.
Anchored by a majestic Poinciana tree, the backyard feels like a hidden world,- dappled shade, winding greenery, and spaces where childhood memories are quietly made. When night falls, soft lights dance through the branches, and the garden takes on a storybook magic of its own.
