14-16 Dickson Terrace

Hamilton QLD 4007

The ornate cornicing work in the home stands testament to the extraordinary transformation of the home with close to 1 whole kilogram of precious 23.5 carat gold having been lavishly and artfully gilded to them in a painstaking traditional ten step French process, the liberal use of the precious metal a perfect foil for the magnificent cedar joinery, antique chandeliers, and lead lighting that proliferate elsewhere throughout.
It is not just in its timeless elegance and extravagant indulgences that set Loa Langta apart, but rather how its so many bastions of a grand, bygone era have been so triumphantly, indeed almost seamlessly, adapted to suit today???s more restrictive and stringent building codes.
The estate???s rare mix of ageless grandeur, contemporary form and function are in evidence right from the outset courtesy of the massive hand-forged iron gates that swing silently aside to allow access to the home???s grand cedar entry doors, a fitting introduction to all that lies beyond.
The formal entry at this ground floor entry is via a long and imposing hallway, discreetly off which to one side may be found direct access to the voluminous vaulted ceilinged 9 x 10m garage and to the other a ten person lift that services all floors.
The second floor is dedicated to guests and entertaining with its expansive guest suite, billiards room, bar and cellar, all of which open through to broad riverside terraces.
The master suite, a grand space appropriate of a home of such rare calibre dominates the third level and boasts several robes plus a cavernous ensuite bathroom. The adjacent library room is a very fine example of hand finished timber cabinetry.
On this level may also be found two other bedrooms, a study, a large, centrally located sitting or family room, and additional bathroom facilities.
On the uppermost levels formal and informal dining and entertaining are key.
Here large living and dining rooms, hearths, soaring ceilings, grand balconies, and of course those magnificent views that get more incredible with each floor, all come together in inimitably fine style to enhance the extraordinary atmosphere and experience that Loa Langta has to offer.
The adjacent kitchen on the same level whilst ultimately practical is a no less grand affair with its own ornately tiled fireplace, exclusive French Rosi??re range, classically handsome marble bench tops, and warm Brazilian mahogany joinery.
An appropriate nod to the overall family-friendliness of the home, the kitchen looks directly out over the pool and formal garden areas, achieving this in a singularly functional, though tastefully stylish, take on everyday living.
Key among a very long list of other features in the estate are extensive internal and external storage areas, ducted air-conditioning, and an audio-visual security system. The home also has the benefit of wide two street frontages.
The home is a very easy commute to the airport and the city, and on its doorstep may be found many of Brisbane???s finest boutique shops and eateries, and not least, several of Brisbane???s premier schools.
A timeless icon of traditional beauty, unparalleled class, refinement and distinction, one of this country???s very finest estates, ???Loa Langta???, the ???Lady on the Hill???.
