BUILT IN THE GREAT CLASSIC COLONIAL QUEENSLAND TRADITION WHEN CRAFTSMEN BREATHED PERSONALITY INTO THEIR CREATIONS, IT OFFERS A SEDUCTIVE SENSE OF SANCTUARY & SECLUSION WHILE STILL BEING ONLY 5KMS TO THE BUZZ & EXCITEMENT OF THE CBD.

AN IMPRESSIVE CARRIAGE LOOP WITH CHERUB WATER FEATURE IS A NOSTALGIC REMINDER OF A DIGNIFIED PERIOD WHEN WEALTHY LANDHOLDERS & BUSINESSMEN INVESTED IN ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED HOUSES SET IN SPACIOUS GROUNDS. THEY WERE LAID OUT, ACCORDING TO 19TH CENTURY LANDSCAPING PROTOCOLS & REFLECTED THE POWER & ASPIRATIONS OF THEIR OWNERS.
A WIDE-BODIED GRAND STAIRCASE & A CURVED INTRICATELY DETAILED FRETWORK PEDIMENT SIGNIFY A STATELY ENTRANCE & SET THE TONE FOR THE WARMTH WITHIN.
ONE OF THE HOME???S GREATEST STRENGTHS IS ITS FOCUS ON ENJOYMENT OF THE INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE THAT SO SUITS BRISBANE???S CLIMATE.

THE AIR-CONDITIONED INTERIOR IS BOTH FUNCTIONAL & ORNAMENTAL ??? SHOWCASE OF HERITAGE FEATURES - INTEGRATING THE RICH PATINA OF POLISHED HARDWOOD FLOORING & FRENCH DOORS WITH THE INTRICATE DETAIL OF CRAFTED FRETWORK VENTILATION PANELS, GRACEFUL DECORATIVE INTERNAL ARCHES, TONGUE & GROOVE WALLS, HIGH CEILINGS & TRADEMARK LARGE ROOMS.
THE FORMAL LOUNGE BRINGS TOGETHER THE HOME'S MOST ENVIABLE FEATURES IN A BREATHTAKING STATEMENT FROM THE TRADITIONAL CAST IRON FIREPLACE TO THE SERIES OF GRACEFUL, INTRICATELY DETAILED FRETWORK ARCHES & FROM ELEGANCE OF SUSPENDED BRASS LIGHTING FIXTURES TO THE VISUAL UNITY OF GLEAMING TIMBER FLOORING.
IT IS A THEME THAT IS CARRIED THROUGH TO THE SEPARATE FORMAL DINING ROOM WHERE A COMPLETE WALL OF BI-FOLD DOORS OPEN TO THE ENTERTAINING DECK & DRAW DEEP INSIDE THE LUSH LANDSCAPE BEYOND.
THE FUNCTIONAL ???COUNTRY COTTAGE??? KITCHEN IS STYLED TO BLEND PERFECTLY WITH THE HOME???S QUEENSLANDER CHARACTERISTICS & OFFERS A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE VERANDAH.
