The Owners have achieved this by applying contemporary design practices which helped unify the old with the new while also enabling them to harness the prevailing breezes, adapt the existing house to promote cross ventilation and to control the northern and western sun.
This house presents as a fresh, modern take on cool, calm and classically relaxed Colonial style reminiscent of the Singapore Black and White bungalows.
Having retained the character fa ade, the entry is a picture of 1920s charm, with a wide veranda leading into a traditional Queenslander floor plan which contains formal dining and a central family room/ library.
The new areas of the house are then revealed, faithfully reflecting the home s origins with the careful use of VJ walls, neutral tones and polished spotted gum floors. A soaring ceiling introduces further space and light and provides the transition from the original parts of the house to a very large, wide indoor /outdoor living space beyond.
The linear kitchen occupies the northern wall which overlooks the pool and comprises crisp white 2pac cabinetry and stone bench tops. This kitchen reflects classic, uncluttered design and is the result of attention to the functional details including two utility cabinets, Miele appliances, a glass display unit and plentiful storage below bench height.
This kitchen/lounge/deck space overlooks the rear yard and leafy outlook toward Sherwood Arboretum where the landscaped elements have been carefully ordered to incorporate the pool, tiered decking and the lawn. A blend of stacked stone walls and mature, sub-tropical planting has rendered the entire property wonderfully private, imparting the feeling of an exclusive Tropical resort.
There are two bedrooms on the upper level; a guest bedroom with its own bathroom and the master suite which has balcony access, a generous walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite which has been designed to promote natural light and cooling in summer with privacy maintained.
Three more bedrooms are located downstairs with a third full bathroom all planned around a versatile rumpus/play/games room. Like the upper level, this space can be enlarged via a folding, glass wall so as to promote cooling and ventilation as well as open directly onto the adjacent terrace, lawn and pool beyond.
There is secure off street parking for two cars behind a centre-opening auto-sliding gate, storage throughout as well as a lockable storeroom, a large, new, stand-alone laundry, outside shower, a garden shed, water tank, security gates and intercoms.
This elevated, corner property is located on 810m over two lots, and is perfectly positioned to suit a busy family with good schools, transport, shops and parks all nearby. Sherwood Arboretum is located just 200 meters down Dunella Street.
With its sympathetically preserved character features and carefully designed and crafted contemporary design additions, this property is truly an executive family home for all seasons.
