Last Listing description (November 2020)

You cant help but be impressed by the natural light and elevated views as soon as you enter this strikingly renovated home.

The local architect-occupiers have succeeded in their quest to sensitively renovate, add to and update this early last century home on the hill.


The louvres and high bi-fold windows in the north-facing front addition are a modern interpretation of the classic Queensland verandah, welcoming the city view (great for the Southbank fireworks) and encouraging the cooling summer breezes.

A modern ergonomically designed kitchen has been included in the rear addition, incorporating a contemporary Italian Bertazzoni chefs stove, twin motor Qasair range hood, Oliveri deep pot sink and drawer style dishwasher.

Enjoy casual meals or welcome family and friends to linger in the kitchen at the table-height timber preparation bench; or take in the views toward UQ over the lush green trees from the rear deck.

- Delight in entertaining in the sunroom, on the deck or in the generous original dining room.
- Relax reading in the bay window.
- Save time by working from the home office.
- Workout in the gym room.

This house is about lifestyle.

- Walk or cycle to the West End coffee shops or the Montague Rd precinct.
- Southbank, GOMA, QPac, the Museum and Library are at your doorstep.

While the generous ceilings and bedrooms of the original house have been sympathetically restored using period type fittings, the new sections have been generously specified with Scandinavian tapware in the kitchen and bathroom, Swiss vanity sink and commercial quality door hardware. Perfect for an owner-occupier, no opportunity has been overlooked to create storage.

The hard work has been done for you, ready for you to comfortably enjoy it now, and planning approval has also been obtained for a swimming pool and tandem carport to the side.

A fantastic option for multi-generational living, the upstairs study was previously a kitchenette and can be converted to allow independent living quarters.

A hidden gem that can't be overlooked is the cabin constructed at the lower level, accessed via the beautifully crafted hardwood stairs. A unique addition that could be your getaway, home office, gym, or has potential for further develop for self-contained living area.
