Originally part of a hillside farm in South Brisbane, 'Highgate Cottage' was built in 1879. When the land was subdivided, the new houses formed a small friendly community and the supplies of ice, coal and milk were delivered by horse and cart to the houses via the private laneway. Echoes of the past can still be found in the bull-nose verandah, high ceilings, picture rails, fireplace, VJ walls and wide floorboards of what is now a modern family home.
Updated for modern living, the home features a gorgeous Caesarstone kitchen with Miele dishwasher and oven, a Blanco gas stovetop, soft-close drawers, pantry with appliance bench and a central island bench facing into the living area. The adjacent elegant main bathroom has a spa bath. Three large bedrooms have soft grey carpet underfoot and wood-panelled walls. The Master has its own ensuite with large walk in shower; bedroom two has its own study nook, while bed three adjoins the front veranda with its views of Mount Coot-Tha.
Entertaining guests is literally a breeze, with a spacious covered and insulated deck which catches cool breezes and provides views all the way from the mountains on the left to the Story Bridge on the right. Just perfect for watching sunsets and fireworks. It's wired for TV should you wish to install one and there is plenty of space for your BBQ. A tall hedge provides privacy and the home is surrounded by a low maintenance established garden.
Downstairs there is a tiled laundry with plenty of bench space and big enough to include a workshop. Through the laundry is under-house storage for tools and toys. The home has Crimsafe security screens throughout as well as security cameras downstairs.
A wide double driveway leads to covered parking for two vehicles and that is probably where they will stay, as the home is situated within walking distance of everything you could possibly want. Walk across the road to Somerville House or St Laurence's College, or stroll to Brisbane State High School, cafes, restaurants and South Bank Parklands. The Mater and Lady Cilento Children's hospitals, the ferry terminal and train station are nearby, while QUT and the CBD are just over the Goodwill Bridge.
