Bridgeman Downs QLD 4035

Extensively and thoughtfully renovated to exacting standards in December 2017, the residence now presents as a flawless fusion of heritage character and contemporary sophistication.

Upon entry, a breathtaking sense of scale unfolds. French Oak herringbone flooring anchors the home with warmth and elegance, complemented by detailed ceiling roses, bespoke timber panelling and refined finishes throughout. At the centre of the home, an imperial staircase forms a dramatic focal point, connecting the grand ground-floor living zones with the private upper level accommodation.

The gourmet kitchen occupies the northern wing and has been designed to impress even the most discerning chef. Featuring sleek Caesarstone benchtops, soft close cabinetry, a generous walk-in pantry and premium Smeg appliances, this culinary space is both beautiful and highly functional. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, a sophisticated lounge with an in-built cocktail bar and integrated dishwasher drawer creates the perfect setting for relaxed entertaining.

French doors extend the living spaces outdoors to an expansive covered patio overlooking a resort style inground swimming pool, manicured lawns and a full-size tennis court. Complete with an outdoor kitchen, built-in barbecue and space for a bar fridge, this alfresco haven is ideal for everything from intimate family gatherings to lavish garden events.

The lower level is further enhanced by a formal dining room with original fireplace, an intimate den, an elegant sitting room, and a thoughtfully designed laundry incorporating a gift-wrapping station and mudroom functionality. A beautifully appointed bathroom finished with herringbone marble flooring completes this level with timeless appeal.

Upstairs, accommodation is generous and indulgent. The master suite is a true retreat, offering plush carpeting, custom his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes and a luxurious ensuite featuring double vanities and a freestanding bathtub. Three additional oversized bedrooms with built-in robes are serviced b y a stylish family bathroom and separate powder room, providing comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.

Adding exceptional versatility is a newly constructed, detached guest residence. This beautifully appointed space includes two bedrooms, a refined kitchen with butler's pantry, and open-plan living and dining areas that flow to a private alfresco deck surrounded by leafy greenery, ideal for extended family, guests or dual-living arrangements.

The estate is further complemented by a four-car secure garage, extensive storage and two substantial sheds equipped with three-phase power. The larger shed features automatic doors and offers outstanding flexibility for trades, workshops or creative studios.

Positioned at the rear of the property is a separate granny flat (built in 2014), complete with air conditioning, raked ceilings, a fully equipped kitchen with Westinghouse appliances, generous bedroom with built-in robe and a private ensuite. This space presents excellent income potential or additional independent living.

Despite its serene estate-style setting, the home is conveniently located just 12km from Brisbane's CBD, with easy access to Albany Shopping Village and highly regarded schools including St Paul's School and Albany Creek State School.

A landmark residence of rare calibre, offering luxury, lifestyle and versatility on a grand scale. Opportunities of this distinction are exceptionally rare.
