From its smart black-shelved library to its crisp white kitchen, this 1950s home has been cleverly reconfigured and extended to attract cool breezes and provide separation of living. Up the steps and across the covered front verandah, visitors are welcomed into the central stylish reading room, which links the two zones of the house: the living and the sleeping quarters. With polished floors throughout, the home is perfect for entertaining and for large or extended families, offering multiple inside and outside living areas plus guest accommodation (or a studio) in the rear garden. Fly-over roofs at the front and back provide extra living space all year round and the current owners rarely close the bi-fold doors.
The wing containing the living areas features an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room with bay window and plantation shutters. Original features such as the doors, windows and a working fireplace have been kept. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and a convenient study nook off the kitchen is the perfect central workspace. The funky 1960s-style Caesarstone island bench has a waterfall edge and complements the wall of original green tiles in the kitchen. A six-burner gas stove top, double sink, dishwasher and servery window to the deck complete the kitchen. Conveniently tucked behind the kitchen is the laundry with a whole wall of storage for your camping gear, linen and craft supplies. Also in this wing is the fifth bedroom/home office.

The sleeping quarters in the other wing of the house, can be entirely closed off for privacy and to reduce noise. The main bedroom has a north-facing bay window and its own bathroom and separate toilet. The second, third and fourth bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, fans and study nooks. These bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom with a frameless walk-in shower and separate toilet. Louvres at the end of the hallway promote airflow and there is a sliding door from the bedroom wing to the rear verandah.

The rear left corner of the garden has a private drying area for clothes and a handy work area for the gardener. There is masses of storage in the garden shed. The Coolamon tree in the rear courtyard was specially chosen for its dense foliage which attracts birds. The front garden features fruit-bearing olive and lychee trees.

Situated less than 3km from the CBD you are within walking distance of the CityCat, City Glider bus, Orleigh Park, walkways and bike paths. West End's cosmopolitan cafes, restaurants and eclectic boutiques are also at your door step as is the Brisbane State High School and other leading schools and education institutions, and the attractions of South Bank.
