Property Summary
Property Description
Welcome to 37 Southport Avenue, Tamborine Mountain – a truly special place where history, modernity, and hinterland beauty converge. Steeped in local heritage, the original 1960s residence was crafted by Henry Bishopp, son of Harry Bishopp, belonging to one of Tamborine Mountain’s founding families whose influence helped shape the vibrant community we know today. For over half a century, the Bishopp family were its sole custodians, and now, after a meticulous, full-scale restoration by a local builder, this beloved home is ready to welcome a new generation.
No detail has been overlooked in this top-to-bottom renovation. The home has been fully replumbed, completely rewired, insulated, and relined, ensuring modern-day comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. In addition, all windows and doors have been replaced, enhancing energy performance, security, and aesthetic appeal throughout. Featuring brand-new bathrooms and a beautifully appointed kitchen, the upgrades blend timeless charm with contemporary elegance.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the allure of a bygone era paired with thoughtful modern enhancements. Framed by a white picket fence and situated on a generous 1,090 sqm corner block, the home offers light-filled living spaces, beautiful hinterland views, and a seamless connection to its natural surroundings-including direct views of Bishopp Park, a namesake tribute adorned with magnificent mature Jacaranda trees. The gardens are graced with established lemon and avocado trees, thriving in the fertile mountain soil.
