Prestigiously perched in one of the River Avenues' most elevated positions, this beautifully transformed 1920's character home captures the Queensland indoor-outdoor family lifestyle to perfection. With green area outlooks and city skyline views, the north-facing residence sits just moments from the River and City Cat, as well as an array of exceptional local amenities.
Sympathetically redesigned for busy modern families, the home boasts multiple living and entertaining spaces over two stylish levels.
Retaining its elegant period facade with broad front verandah, the upper level is characterised by its expansive open-plan design, soaring 11ft ceilings and soft contemporary colour palette.
Featuring stunning modern bathrooms and kitchen, each with European quality fittings and finishes, the interior still delivers the timeless appeal of hardwood floors, VJ walls and character windows.
Enjoy sophisticated alfresco entertaining on the vast covered rear deck with integrated gas BBQ and bar fridge. Take in views of the iconic Woolstore Buildings, Story Bridge and city skyscrapers, while children retreat to the downstairs rumpus room or play cricket in the huge level grassed yard. Spend long summer afternoons relaxing poolside, and in winter, the front verandah is the perfect spot to bask in the warm northern sunlight and views up to Balmoral Hill.
A short stroll will have residents in the heart of Oxford Street Bulimba's dynamic shopping, dining and entertainment precinct, as well as the fine eateries, "Garage" gourmet grocer and deluxe cinema complex at Hawthorne. For families, the choice of exceptional local schools includes Lourdes Hill College and Sts Peter and Paul's, with a nearby bus stop offering access to other elite schools across Brisbane.
