26 Highview Terrace

**Limited street parking, please park on Douglas Street** Positioned on an elevated 607sqm block on one of St Lucia’s most desirable terraces, this circa 1910 Queenslander blends its period character with a seamless architect-designed extension. From the front door, you’re drawn to the light-filled glass living area, where northern breezes flow through and the flat backyard with pool creates a relaxed, private outlook. The home offers three bedrooms plus a study, combining polished pine floors in the original section with Blackbutt timber in the extension. French doors open from multiple rooms, enhancing the indoor–outdoor connection and ventilation. Air conditioning in the living area and bedrooms ensures year-round comfort. Designed by Derek Trebilcock, the extension delivers a generous open-plan kitchen and living space framed by sliding doors and sash windows. A custom timber counter, coloured tiles and science beaker pendant lights add a touch of personality, while oversized awnings create an inviting space for all-weather enjoyment. The kitchen features a built-in meals area, ample pantry storage, a dishwasher and a Belling gas oven/stove - perfect for family living and entertaining. The main bedroom includes a walk-in robe and adjoins a bathroom that could easily be converted into an ensuite. A second bathroom and shared laundry are located downstairs. Outdoors, the saltwater pool sits among established greenery, creating a peaceful retreat. Solar panels with a Tesla battery reduce daytime power costs significantly, and the attic with drop-down staircase and windows adds flexibility for storage or a quiet workspace. Downstairs offers an abundance of storage along with an air-conditioned retreat featuring a kitchenette, adjoining bathroom and laundry. There’s also potential to build in under the home, providing the opportunity to add more rooms as the family grows. A second roller door offers the option to create additional car accommodation if desired.
