Extensive remodelling and renovations blend traditional design elements with luxurious modern finishes throughout this spacious four bedroom home. As well as preserving the polished timber floors, VJ wall panelling, high ceilings and leadlight windows, the project has introduced industrial finishes, timber venetian blinds and full length bifold glass doors to blend the indoor and outdoor living areas.

The kitchen was part of the renovations and is a modern masterpiece. Its black 3pac cabinets and Caesar stone benchtops are a dramatic addition to the classically designed interior. There is a small study space at the end of the kitchen and glass windows opening the entire length of the room. The main living area has a fireplace and is level with the backyard with its lush grass and garden beds creating an enjoyable atmosphere when all the doors are open. The gardens have been cared for by an experienced horticulturalist who preserved the 120 year-old Poinciana tree and added drought resistant plants and a vegetable patch. The formal dining area is also part of the extension and features a jet master fireplace and opens to the in-ground pool area.

The main bedroom features an ensuite with bathtub, while the walk in wardrobe and dressing room has a candelabra-style light fitting. On the lower level, three more bedrooms share access to the media and rumpus rooms. This level also has a main bathroom with combined shower and bath, spacious laundry, two-car accommodation and separate lockable garage for use as workshop space or boat storage. There is a separate front entry to the lower level and the traditional Queenslander features are continued throughout. Externally, the property complements the quiet Chelmer street with its ornate entry and staircase, fresh colours, and white picket fence. Indooroopilly Shopping Centre is close to the home, as are trains, schools and dining options.
