17 Upper Cairns Terrace, Paddington QLD 4064

Lifestyle
A sophisticated executive entertainer with fabulous city views. An enviable location with private bushland behind yet close to Given Tce Paddington and the Barracks and a short walk to the local primary schools, Brisbane Grammar Schools, Gregory Terrace and bus routes. Also a short walk to Milton Station and Brisbane City. Deceptively large modern home behind a traditional facade with wonderful views from the kitchen, dining and entertaining areas. Elevated, breezy and with its own private garden and bushland this house has character and charm. The kitchen and dining area is fabulous for entertaining and complemented by a walk in chilled wine cellar with capacity for 2000 bottles that was set up by a professional wine consultant. There is a large butler's pantry off the kitchen to further enhance meals and entertaining. The separate media area and bedrooms provide the option for an active teenage family. There is a large separate home office on the lower level.

Accommodation
Circa 1925, the house opens from a traditional front verandah into a central hallway with bedrooms on either side. The renovation was architect designed and all plans were approved. A living area in the centre of the house offers its own zone for the TV. The rear of the house opens to a family room, combining the dining and sitting areas, and then a large covered enclosed back deck offering a wonderful backdrop of private bushland, together with a lovely view of the city. The pocket of bushland is unique so close to the city and is shared by just a few neighbours. The kitchen is smart and well equipped and has a butlers pantry which can double as a study. The lower level of the house has been thoughtfully planned, with the main bedroom offering a generous walk in robe and ensuite bathroom. The 5th bedroom also has an ensuite, creating some excellent options for family members to have their own space, or perhaps guests to stay.

Features
Both levels of the house open to north-east facing verandahs with fabulous city views, offering a great interaction between internal and external spaces. With ducted air conditioning to control the climate, excellent security and adjustable sun louvers on the large back deck this is a wonderful home for a large family and also a great executive entertainer. A 2 car garage (cars side by side) with electric door, workshop area and extensive storage completes the picture of a very appealing home. Something you must come and experience!
