The Duchess – Parkside Luxury with Dual Living and City Views
Affectionately known as "The Duchess", this grand six-bedroom residence blends timeless Queenslander character with elegant Hamptons and Mediterranean influences, offering an extraordinary combination of luxury, versatility and income-generating potential. Proudly positioned on an expansive 800m² corner allotment directly opposite Carnarvon Way Park, the home showcases an impressive dual-living configuration, two newly renovated kitchens, two separate living areas and elevated city views. Extensively renovated throughout and offered with vacant possession, this remarkable property presents an outstanding opportunity for multigenerational families, extended households and buyers seeking a flexible lifestyle with the potential for an additional rental income stream.
Beyond its charming character façade, a beautifully curated interior unfolds, where stunning American oak herringbone flooring, elegant plantation shutters and a refined neutral palette establish an immediate sense of warmth and sophistication. Generous proportions, abundant natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor connections create an inviting atmosphere throughout, with the home's distinct living zones offering independence, privacy and flexibility for families of every generation.
At the heart of the main residence, a spectacularly renovated kitchen makes an unforgettable impression. Showcasing premium Gaggenau and Fisher & Paykel appliances, induction cooking, dual ovens, an integrated dishwasher and striking porcelain finishes extending from the benchtops to the splashbacks and rangehood, this culinary space perfectly balances designer elegance with everyday functionality. A generous butler's pantry provides additional preparation space and storage, while the adjoining dining and living areas offer an effortless setting for family gatherings and sophisticated entertaining.
Beautifully appointed living spaces continue throughout the residence, complemented by a contemporary electric fireplace, integrated television cabinetry and carefully considered finishes. Expansive doors and multiple access points connect the interiors to a series of covered decks and outdoor entertaining areas, creating an inviting environment for year-round enjoyment.
Outside, a private oasis awaits. Surrounded by established tropical landscaping, the sparkling in-ground swimming pool provides an idyllic setting for warm Queensland afternoons, while generous undercover alfresco areas and wraparound timber decking invite everything from relaxed weekend barbecues to memorable celebrations with family and friends. The swimming pool is complemented by a current Form 23 pool safety certificate, providing additional peace of mind for prospective purchasers. An elevated balcony offers sweeping city views and leafy outlooks across the surrounding neighbourhood, providing another peaceful space to unwind. As evening falls, thoughtfully positioned outdoor lighting illuminates the residence and landscaped gardens, creating a warm ambience and showcasing the home's striking character after dark.
A defining feature of "The Duchess" is its outstanding dual-living arrangement, thoughtfully designed to provide two distinct residential spaces within one remarkable property. Residence One comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, while Residence Two offers two bedrooms and one bathroom. Featuring separate access, lockable internal separation, two newly renovated kitchens, two independent living areas, separate laundry facilities and outdoor entertaining spaces, the configuration offers exceptional flexibility for extended families, older children, visiting relatives or multigenerational households. Both residences are currently offered with vacant possession, providing buyers with the freedom to move in, accommodate extended family or explore potential rental opportunities.
Beyond its family appeal, this versatile arrangement also presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking supplementary rental income. The smaller residence has a reported rental potential of at least $600 per week, while the main residence has an established history of short-term accommodation, achieving an impressive 4.9-star Airbnb rating across more than 150 guest reviews. This accommodation history highlights the property's appeal to investors and buyers interested in combining their own residence with an additional income stream, subject to applicable council approvals and occupancy requirements.
The property's current short-stay accommodation arrangement requires an occupant to reside in the smaller residence and permits a maximum of six guests per night in the main residence. Any increase in guest capacity would require further council approval.
Across the residence, six generously proportioned bedrooms offer peaceful accommodation, complemented by three renovated bathrooms and four toilets. Stylish bathroom finishes include contemporary walk-in showers, a luxurious freestanding bathtub and heated towel rails, while built-in wardrobes and extensive storage enhance everyday practicality.
Thoughtful accessibility features further enhance the home's versatility, including step-free entry, wide doorways, open showers and a stair lift, providing additional comfort and convenience for multigenerational living and family members with varying mobility needs.
Beyond its impressive aesthetics, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded with an extensive range of modern conveniences, including an impressive 18.5kW solar system, three-phase electricity, a high-speed electric vehicle charging station, split-system air-conditioning, security features and a secure remote-controlled double garage.
