Welcome to 80 Mary Street – A home with a soul as rich as its soil. Lovingly known as ‘MARFERD’, this early 20th-century Federation-style concrete bungalow was designed and built in 1922 by respected local builder John Muller, who named it in honour of his parents, Maria and Ferdinand. Influenced by the elegance of the arts and crafts movement, this residence is a beautifully preserved chapter of Toowoomba’s architectural story.

Set in one of East Toowoomba’s most prestigious and tightly held pockets, MARFERD offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s living history. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, this character-filled cottage blends early 20th-century charm with modern comforts. Surrounded by established gardens and leafy streetscapes, it honours its heritage with quiet elegance—offering a warm, inviting lifestyle steeped in both story and style.

A picture-perfect front porch with Tuscan-style columns sets the tone—ideal for slow mornings with a coffee or quiet evenings watching the neighbourhood soften into dusk. Inside, the home opens to reveal a grand chandelier, polished timber floors, monolithic concrete walls throughout, freshly painted interiors, and a series of charming period details including French doors, decorative cornices and frosted glass accents, all of which add depth and character. High ceilings and soft neutral tones allow natural light to spill beautifully into each room, while recent renovations breathe a new sense of life and comfort into the home.
