Exclusively positioned and commanding magnificent north-easterly views, this gracious c.1890 Colonial proudly sits on an impressive 771m2 corner block and fuses understated sophistication with timeless appeal to create an engaging family home. Showcasing a style that involves the utmost consideration, yet feels completely effortless, the residence provides a luxurious, sun-drenched environment with the potential for dual living.
Beyond the white picket fence, a traditional entry greets you with a wrap-around veranda, ornate leadlight front door, and a double width hallway that welcomes you inside. Elegant, timeless interiors unfold to reveal the home's many layers - a series of spaces for living, dining, and entertaining that illustrate the compelling quality of a design that has stood the test of time. Finished in sensitive, neutral tones and offering adored period details including soaring pressed metal ceilings, impressive and rarely seen 'full height' VJ walls, wood burning fireplace, an abundance of French doors, and polished timber floors. A central eat-in kitchen is suitably fitted with quality Smeg appliances, plenty of smart storage options including a butler's style pantry, and striking granite bench tops that provide ample preparation space. Additionally, it boasts a pristine United Metal Industries wood fire oven, which is not only functional but a distinctive feature with very few remaining today. Bi-fold doors open out to the rear north-east facing deck and will assure your alfresco pleasure. With cooling summer breezes and the warmth of the morning winter sun, this private space offers an outlook that stretches out towards Moreton Bay, providing an impressive backdrop to sit a while and relax or host gatherings with family and friends – this is a space that you will never tire. It also offers a great vantage point to watch the kids play in the pool.
Accommodation comprises six bedrooms, spread over the two levels. The master suite has a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom, with the additional bedrooms share three distinctive bathrooms, two with ball and claw foot bathtubs.
Downstairs, a billiard room with home theatre gives you room to move and provides flexibility, totally attuned to the times we live. Two bedrooms, a kitchenette, and light filled bathroom surround this lower living area and with a separate entry, it is ideal for multi-generational families, growing teens, a home based business, or perfect to lease out and receive a second income. An office and climate-controlled wine cellar/ bar complete this level, and both open out to an undercover alfresco with direct access to the pool.
