Whether it's your first home or your forever home, whether you adore Mid-Century Modern design or simply want a stylish, family-friendly home in a leafy pocket of Brisbane, this one deserves your attention. Beautifully designed, artfully restored, brilliantly located, and ready for its next chapter, this timeless treasure is not to be missed.
Architectural pedigree:
Designed in 1967 by respected Brisbane Architect Graham Ellwood, the home captures everything 'great' about the era - generous spaces, clean lines, and an honest simplicity free from unnecessary adornment. Quintessential design features like the classic garage door and feature wall, stone panel cladding, and flat roof make it a standout for true MCM lovers. Of its three owners, two have been architects, high praise for Ellwood's design and a testament to the home's credentials and lasting appeal.
Thoughtful restoration:
For nearly 18 years, the current owners have carefully restored and refined this home, respecting its architectural integrity while enhancing its liveability. Their approach was holistic; the house and the gardens restored to complement one another. Natural light, organic materials, and a seamless flow between indoors and out define each room in the home. Windows and doorways frame a curated garden view, transforming the landscape into living art. These attributes, together with their well informed decorative style and artistic flair ensure Misty Morn is a true representation of the MCM era.
Location and lifestyle:
Positioned in leafy Kenmore, overlooking acres of parkland and just 10km from Brisbane's CBD, this address offers peaceful family-living along with everyday convenience. Highly regarded schools, village-style shopping, public transport, and easy arterial access, including Legacy Way to the airport, are all close by.
The residence:
Designed over two levels, the floorplan is practical and family-focused:
Ground level - An all-weather entry-walkway sets the tone. Inside, a foyer, spacious informal living zone with polished concrete floors and full-height glass opens onto private, 1960s-inspired gardens. A fourth bedroom or office, plus 2 car accommodation and ample storage, complete the level.
Upper level - Light-filled, open-plan living and dining with a working fireplace, polished timber floors, and sliding doors to a wraparound veranda. The galley kitchen has been tastefully updated, while three generous bedrooms are down a wide hallway. The main suite enjoys a private garden terrace, a new ensuite, and plenty of built-in storage . . . a true retreat.
After nearly two decades, the owners are ready to pass this remarkable home to its next custodians - a rare opportunity for those who appreciate authenticity, craftsmanship, and design that stands the test of time.
Mid-Century Modern design remains as relevant today as ever - this home is proof.
We look forward to showing you all that this home has to offer at one of our viewing opportunities this weekend.
