Unquestionably one of Toowoomba's most admired addresses, 'Glen Alpine' (c. 1918) stands as both a landmark of Federation architecture and a masterpiece of modern reinvention. Framed by level lawns on a private 3590sqm escarpment setting, this home captures breathtaking views from every living space. Protected easterly views that sweep across Redwood Park, Tabletop Mountain, the Lockyer Valley, and the distant hills leading to Brisbane.
Steeped in history, 'Glen Alpine' has long been woven into Queensland's social and architectural fabric - once home to the state's Chief Justice, Governors, and other eminent figures. In recent years, the entire residence has been completely renovated under the discerning eye of award-winning architect Paul Owen of Owen Architecture. Its original grandeur lovingly restored, down to the finest of details, while two striking contemporary wings now extend the home with quiet confidence. Crafted from slate and featuring bespoke wrought-iron, double-glazed doors - meticulously hand-crafted by Australia's leading blacksmith, the stack away design invites the outdoors in with effortless elegance.
From the moment you step inside, you're instantly captivated by the beautiful sense of light and scale. The main bedroom doesn't disappoint, anchored by one of four working fireplaces and opening through French doors to a private balcony that captures uninterrupted easterly views. In total, the home offers five bedrooms and a stately library most will dream to call their office with floor-to-ceiling cedar joinery. A third bathroom could be seamlessly introduced if ever desired, without compromise to the home's layout. A sweeping staircase descends to the lower level, where formal and casual living spaces all open onto level lawns and gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. This is a sanctuary for the family, a peaceful retreat where you feel completely removed from the outside world.
