Few properties inspire such nostalgia as this impressive circa 1880's built Red Hill Colonial Cottage. Impeccably presented, this beautiful residence seamlessly blends the romance of yesteryear with the contemporary fusion of modern living.
As the laser cut street address on the iron fence welcomes you home, your attention quickly turns to the jaw dropping street appeal this classic colonial residence offers. With its quintessential white painted, trellis laden veranda and timber deck, timber staircase surrounded by manicured gardens, extra wide external chamfer boards and artfully painted red door, you know you are about to enter one special home.
The first internal striking feature is the wonderfully polished original hoop pine floorboards that are evident throughout the home. As with most colonial properties the original first two bedrooms peel off the hallway directly and feature ceiling fans, horizontal timber wall joinery, new carpet and high ceilings. Further down the hall and past the third bedroom and colonial inspired bathroom with its traditional features including an original iron claw bath, the home opens up to reveal the contemporary blend that transitions from the main living area to the generous dining space and via bifold glass doors into a wonderful undercover outdoor entertainment area, surrounded by a magnificent and very private tranquil tropical rear garden setting.
Easily the focal point of the home is the stunning kitchen, perfectly positioned to service both the outdoor and indoor dining areas. Boasting exceptional functionality, complete with Caesar stone bench tops, plenty of sleek custom cabinetry, central island bench, integrated two draw dishwasher and Smeg appliances, it is the ultimate entertainer's delight.
The contemporary theme flows on upstairs where the master suite provides all the creature comforts of luxury living, built in cabinetry, huge en-suite, wonderful district views, natural light and fresh valley breezes.
Loaded with lifestyle advantages, this amazing family home is just moments away from the heart of the renowned Paddington café and restaurant precinct and within a short walking distance to the new Red Hill cinemas. Here you are surrounded by quality private schools, within the Petrie Terrace State School and Kelvin Grove Secondary College catchments, close to multiple transport options and just a few kilometres to the CBD.
