The gates close behind you and the world softens instantly. Towering tree ferns line the approach, the air cool, the light filtered, and the everyday noise replaced by birdsong and rustling leaves. Welcome to Lauriston Brae, a rare Olinda sanctuary set across more than two glorious acres where luxury living and nature exist in quiet harmony.
Originally built around half a century ago and now exquisitely renovated, the home balances classic architectural grace with modern indulgence. Every window feels curated, framing layers of garden beauty while flooding interiors with natural light. Wainscoting, chandeliers, high ceilings, expansive picture windows and French doors create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere where elegance is subdued but ever present.
The gardens themselves are nothing short of extraordinary. Inspired by Edna Walling design principles, winding paths weave through rare botanical plantings including tree ferns, Japanese maples, azaleas and rhododendrons. A WWI Memorial listed on the Victorian Heritage Register sits respectfully within the landscape, while moats, a natural rock fountain and leafy enclaves create moments of quiet discovery at every turn.
Inside, the kitchen is both centrepiece and conversation starter. A marble topped island with pendant lighting anchors the space, complemented by a 900mm cooker, stainless steel work surfaces and a two-way butlers pantry that rivals the main kitchen. With a second sink, Miele appliances including coffee machine and oven, and excellent storage, entertaining becomes seamless rather than stressful. The adjoining meals area places garden views front and centre, turning everyday dining into something special.
Living options are plentiful and beautifully considered. The atrium-style sunroom wrapped in glass, complete with gas log fire, opens to the terrace and invites long afternoons with a book or a glass in hand. A grand sunken lounge with marble fireplace and built-in wet bar sets the scene for memorable evenings, while the formal dining room with chandelier and handcrafted carpet delivers a little theatre for special occasions.
Accommodation continues the theme of comfort with refinement. The main bedroom is lavish in scale with extensive floor to ceiling robes, a sitting area and a marble finished ensuite featuring double shower, twin basins and a bath designed for lingering. Two further bedrooms with robes, a stylish family bathroom and sky lit powder room provide flexibility for family or guests.
The workshop behind the garage offers a multitude of possibilities including a rental income stream, working from home space, teenage retreat, games room, gym, yoga studio or multigenerational living.
Outdoors, the lifestyle offering keeps unfolding. A private terrace with barbecue zone overlooks the in-ground pool and spa, ideal for summer gatherings. A double garage with workshop space, a separate rumpus or potential self-contained unit behind the garage, ducted heating and a generous laundry complete the practical picture.
More sanctuary and garden estate than a home, its a place to exhale while still being moments from Olinda village, cafs, galleries and the broader hills community and attractions.
