To find a family tennis court home in the inner city is rare. To find it within 200 metres of Churchie in a landmark street with riverside parks, bikeways, buses, and ferries on your doorstep, is to find an exceptional way of life.
Lochlane is one of only three tennis court homes in East Brisbane, and presides over a large, level 1194m2 block.
You live amidst space and yet within minutes are some of the city's most sought-after schools, universities, cultural precincts, cafes and bars, and every imaginable amenity.
East Brisbane is set to directly benefit from Cross River Rail, Brisbane Metro, and the 11-hectare Gabba Precinct being developed for the 2032 Olympic Games.
The Gabba, just down the road from Mowbray Tce, will be the global centrepiece of the Games as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies and track and field events.
East Brisbane is one of Brisbane's most tightly held suburbs with homeowners holding their property for an average of 15 years. Lochlane is available for the first time in 20 years.
Built in 1911, the north-south Queenslander is among the homes, churches and parks that make up the rich heritage of East Brisbane. Lochlane brings together the elegance of a more gracious time with the luxuries of contemporary living.
Renowned architect Michael Rayner created the home's inspired kitchen-dining-living space to bring in breezes and views of the tennis court.
This light-filled space is the heart of the home. The extra high, raked ceiling lifts the spirits and complements the original high ceilings and wide, welcoming hallway.
The clever placement of windows brings in river breezes in summer and sunshine in winter. There are ideal places to dine and lounge all year round and the open kitchen is a chef's dream.
Miele appliances, Calacatta marble benchtops and bespoke cabinetry are accompanied by a cold room. Fittings and finishes instill the space with classic beauty.
To enhance the sense of harmony throughout the home, architect Margaret Ward ensured the kitchen's classic interior style flows through the renovation of the bathrooms, laundry, and kitchenette.
The six bedrooms, all with built-ins, are peaceful retreats. The king size master bedroom and ensuite has its own private north-facing verandah.
Two queen size bedrooms share a bathroom and open to the original sleep-out, which makes an ideal play area for young children and an excellent study space when they're older.
Two more bedrooms, one queen size and one king size, also share a bathroom and create yet another private enclave.
The home's formal dining-lounge area is graced with ornate timber fretwork, ceiling roses and French doors that open to verandahs. Polished timber floors flow throughout the upstairs level.
Downstairs the extensive rumpus room features Italian floor tiles and opens through French doors to the covered outdoor area, which flows to the tennis court and pool.
Easy entertaining is a hallmark of Lochlane. Choose from the many indoor-outdoor settings to host any size event from small gatherings to large parties.
There are also idyllic spaces for working from home and accommodating guests.
The home office has its own entrance and reception area. The king size guest suite has its own kitchen and an outdoor setting alongside the tennis court.
To help with the running of the household, the large laundry has abundant storage and space for two washing machines and a dryer.
Outside, the synthetic grass tennis court has the ideal north-south orientation. On summer afternoons, mature trees shade half the court. This is the arena for every type of sport and game.
The private swimming pool is an oasis all summer long. The garden is complete with mature trees and a garden shed.
Lochlane is set within one of East Brisbane's most exclusive streets in the midst of a coveted, inner city lifestyle. Easy walks and short drives to destinations are a feature of life at Lochlane, giving the family more time to unwind and play.
As an inner city tennis court home on a large, level block, Lochlane is much more than a rare property. It is a home that will remain in the hearts of your family and friends.
To secure this exceptional family home and lifestyle, you will need to inspect without delay.
