The owners have transformed this house in the time they have resided here to suit their needs and desires, extending its floorplan to take full advantage of the elevation and views on offer. Light-filled living spaces evoke a designer influence and are tastefully adorned with quality finishes.
Cooking for friends and family should be a pleasure, and the kitchen with its bespoke French Country with Porters Paint hand-finished cabinetry and stone benchtops is filled to the brim with clever inclusions and practical shelving and drawer storage. Clever design sees the kitchen's windows open fully into a servery which overlooks the north facing alfresco area and sunken firepit zone beyond.
Directly across from the kitchen is the stately formal dining area with VJ walls and period pendant lighting. Sliding wooden doors that were original to the Treasury Building in Brisbane provide a grand entrance to the living room. With generous proportions to fit multiple lounge configurations, this space is an entertainer's dream. Across the breezeway is the office and library. Perfectly positioned, this light filled space makes working from home a delight.
A traditional staircase leads to the upper level, which leads out onto the north facing verandah with views to the ranges. A large utility room that connects to the sweeping front verandah has multiple uses for busy families. Spacious bedrooms with built in robes provide creative corners for children and quiet study zones for teens and young adults, these elevated spaces are both functional and fun. A family bathroom with separate facilities services these rooms.
Fully powered 6 metre x 6 metre shed with adjoining 6 metre x 6 metre carport ensures all your cars and toys are safe and secure. The carport and shed is accessed via remote electric gates at the front of the home and a full pebblecrete driveway. A level turfed area is perfect for backyard cricket and plenty of room for your resort style pool should you desire.
Whether you work from home, run a business, have teenagers or elderly parents living with you, this home offers private and very functional spaces, separate entry and an abundance of indoor and outdoor zones that cater for all. It is the extra touches and attention to ensuring that this home works well and without compromise, that make this grand old Queenslander so unique.
