11 Parkes Street, Girards Hill NSW 2480

Restored highset Queenslander on 923m² block | Full renovation post-2022 flood | Walk to CBD and hospital | Albert Park Public School catchment | 21-panel solar system included This property presents a rare combination in Girards Hill—a highset Queenslander on a generous 923m² block that has been fully renovated after flood damage. The restoration has preserved strong character elements such as soaring 11.5-foot ceilings, timber floorboards and plantation shutters, while adding modern kitchen features and a 21-panel solar system. Its north-facing aspect and walkable position to the Lismore CBD and Base Hospital strengthen its appeal for a buyer seeking a restored home with space and convenience, possibly a professional couple or family wanting the catchment for Albert Park Public School. The large land size on a flat block offers flexibility not often found in inner Lismore. The primary constraint is the property’s 2022 flood history and the detected flood overlay, which remains an unresolved factor for long-term confidence and insurance costs. The heritage overlay also requires verification regarding permissible changes. One practical opportunity is the 3.3-metre clearance under the house, offering sheltered parking and flexible storage, but its conversion to habitable space needs council confirmation. The question of how the flood risk will affect future resale and insurability cannot be answered from visible evidence alone.
