9 Norman Street

East Brisbane QLD 4169

Lifestyle - Nine Norman Street is a testament to Queensland craftsmanship of the early 1900's. A slate-floored front verandah shields an imposing front door featuring original stained glass, welcoming visitors to the home's oversized living areas. Graced with triple sash windows and 13 foot ceilings, these spaces provide the perfect settings for entertaining on a grand scale. Original breezeways, polished timber floors and heritage archways add to the original, well-preserved charm of this distinctive property. The enormous back verandah is well protected from the elements by a thatched roof with soaring ceilings, while a solar-heated spa and cleverly positioned barbecue add to the area's entertaining potential. Down the rear stairs to the backyard, a large concrete slab adjoining an expanse of lawn functions as a perfect cricket pitch, basketball court or terrace. Enjoy the area's many quaint cafes and restaurants, lush green spaces, exceptional private and public schools and close proximity to The Gabba.

Accommodation - The unique character of the home has been preserved in the home's living areas, with a fresh white palette and split system air conditioning added for year round comfort. A functioning wood fireplace in the dining room will drench dinner parties with flickering light and warmth. Two bright bedrooms on the upper level are furnished with built in wardrobes and air conditioning, while the master has the added convenience of an ensuite with massaging shower system. The informal dining room adjoins a sunny kitchen, with cream cabinets offset by black stone bench tops and Blanco appliances. Walking through a cosy sitting room you will find the main bathroom, fitted with claw-foot bath, brass fixtures and beautiful mosaic floors in heritage tones. The lower level of the house can be accessed via an internal spiral staircase in the formal lounge. Here you will find a further two bedrooms and an enormous tiled, air conditioned lounge with dry bar. This space, with exposed timber beams and a deep blue feature wall, would function perfectly as a billiards room or teenagers' retreat.
