Norman Park QLD 4170

An 810sqm hillside property only 4km from Brisbane's CBD, in Norman Park's idyllic 'Poet's Corner' and within walking distance of one of the city's most exclusive private schools. Sitting beautifully within its established landscape is this renovated traditional family home with Queenslander/Colonial architectural influences, elevated views and one of the best backyards on the market.

The original part of the home accommodates all four large bedrooms, including the master with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. There's also a family bathroom and a nearby living area with French doors opening onto a deep balcony from which to enjoy impressive suburban views. Appealing character features include timber flooring, high ceilings and VJ walls, while there is a welcome amount of built-in storage, as well as ceiling fans to capture breezes from the nearby Brisbane River.

Downstairs is where the majority of the shared living, dining and entertaining takes place against a backdrop of established gardens. The open-plan interior, featuring a large central contemporary kitchen and butler's pantry, extends onto a wide covered timber deck with a built-in BBQ kitchen overlooking a substantial backyard of lush lawn and a lovely swimming pool. There are few better year-round alfresco settings.
