A classic character residence boasting unparalleled quality, style and position, Wonteema' is a refurbished 1911 Queenslander. Resting high on a sprawling 810sqm allotment, five-bedroom homes of this calibre and history are a rarity in this blue-chip suburb. Meticulously renovated to the design of leading Brisbane Architect Ivan Gastaldon, the builder has understated and over-delivered.
Framed by a traditional picket fence, the residence has been raised to enhance street appeal and shifted on the block to create excellent side access for family parking. Greeting you with a garden path adorned with quality hand-fired tiles, this walkway begins your journey into the home and leads to the wide front verandah featuring beautiful spotted gum decking.
Showcasing hoop pine floors with brown Japan stain, VJ walls and traditional fretwork, the upper floor hosts an expansive living level wrapped in beautiful sliding doors and large windows to harness the north-eastern aspect and exceptional breezes. Designed to retain original character with an emphasis on effortless, open plan living, the elegant lounge room reveals an ornate horsehair plasterwork ceiling illuminated by natural light.
A magnificent designer kitchen offers a culinary haven catering effortlessly to entertaining. The benchtops are stunning Statuario marble, soft-close cabinetry meticulously painted in 2Pac, and quality Miele and Ilve appliances. The kitchen also features a wine fridge with direct access to the dining area - perfect for when you can't make it to the downstairs cellar.
Flowing out to the entertainer's deck harnessing sweeping 180-degree north-east views, you can see out to Moreton Bay on a clear day and watch the planes land while enjoying the peace and privacy of this quiet position.
Further living and entertaining can be enjoyed downstairs in the stylish rumpus room. A contemporary space with polished concrete/Terrazzo floors, hand seeded with exotic pebbles, this living space features double-hung windows and sliding stacker doors that open onto the rear terrace. Featuring an outdoor kitchen with high-end New York marble, Miele dishwasher and a Ziegler and Brown volcanic rock BBQ, wok burner, and built-in BBQ, this alfresco setting is complemented by an under stair cellar which can also serve as a butler's pantry. A beautiful entertaining space, the terrace overlooks the purpose-built sports court, where kids can enjoy a game of basketball, netball or handball.
