Stylish City-Edge Residence with Sensational Indoor/Outdoor Living
Just minutes from the hub of the CBD & close to the Brisbane River, this very special home was completed in an era when builders were artisans & architects built for future generations. Today, it is a carefully scripted blend of original elements & vogue living that is beautifully complemented by the best of an indoor/outdoor lifestyle with a luxuriously lush sub-tropical outlook.
A classic period façade precedes a wide, welcoming entrance hall followed by traditional Art Deco tapered pillars set above a pair of magnificent leadlighted display cabinets.
Charming geometric patterned leadlight casement windows, exquisite ornate plaster ceilings & period style brass lighting elegantly adorn the separate air-conditioned living & dining rooms.
A natural breezeway is created by a wide-bodied hall that extends through a wall of bi-fold doors to an entertaining deck & beyond to a magnificent display of lush sub-tropical landscaping.
Granite benchtops create a rich tone for the kitchen that is styled with classic cream tongue & groove cabinetry & rich timber window frames to blend perfectly with the home’s Queenslander characteristics. With a design that caters to culinary creativity, the best of European appliances include a stainless steel Blanco gas cooktop with Zanussi exhaust, a stainless steel Bosch oven & Bosch dishwasher integrated into the cabinetry.
One of the home’s greatest strengths is its focus on enjoyment of the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that so suits Brisbane’s climate. The huge deck overlooks a private back garden surrounded by the mature sub-tropical trees & palms of this leafy neighbourhood. It is the deck that everyone wants to have for themselves, a broad expanse of oiled hardwood timber & decorative traditional balustrading.
The generous rear garden, typical of the era, rates a special mention as one of those artful landscapes that makes the most of its position. A curtain of greenery provides total privacy from the neighbours. It is a wonderfully restful spot for quiet enjoyment of the surroundings with yet another generous paved area for outdoor entertaining. The low maintenance grounds are fitted with a comprehensive irrigation system.
A significant feature of the air-conditioned master suite is the designer ensuite – an indulgent exercise in functional clean lines, top-of-the-range fittings & contemporary style. Semi recessed Villeroy & Boch basins sit perfectly above mirror-finish black glass benchtops & extensive two-pack cabinetry. The extra long glass & tile shower enclosure has been thoughtfully designed for minimal cleaning.
A custom-built walk-in wardrobe, period casement windows & a French door opening to the deck are other wonderful features of the master bedroom.
Air-conditioned bedroom two, which connects to the two-way bathroom, features a beautifully ornate plaster ceiling & charming bay window seat while light-filled bedroom three has a broad picture window.
A reconstituted stone vanity benchtop, frameless shower glass, designer slumped glass in the cabinetry & mirror borders make the family bathroom another outstanding & stylish feature of the home.
There is a double lock-up garage with ample storage space & room for another 2 cars off-street.
