We invite you to fall in love with "Woodbine" - a grand colonial family home commissioned by James and Mary Connors in the late 1870's for themselves and their five children.
Commanding a striking street presence with its feature latticework and wrought iron balustrades. It's hard to believe that this quiet tree lined enclave is just minutes to South Bank and walking distance to the CBD. This is a rare opportunity to welcome this home to be part of your family and to create your chapter in the home's rich history. The paint is freshly dry on a year-long meticulous renovation which strikes the perfect amalgamation of the old world charm of a quintessential Queenslander and modern luxe finishes.
The home now boasts 5 large bedrooms, including an exquisite parent's retreat, featuring a large walk in robe, sumptuous ensuite with a freestanding bath and separate shower and French doors opening on to the original verandah. Relax in your large open plan upstairs living area, with the original brick fireplace showcased in the dining room. Sliding glass doors offer seamless indoor/outdoor living while the covered rear deck takes in the north/east aspect capturing South Bank and suburb views. This will be a home in which you will love to entertain your friends and family, with a large main kitchen, featuring SMEG appliances, including a large 90cm oven and cooktop and an integrated fridge/freezer. With nothing forgotten, the home also boasts a full wet butler's pantry and a huge separate dry butler's pantry, hidden from view whilst seamlessly becoming part of the kitchen.
Downstairs boasts a large second living room opening onto a huge fully covered lower deck. The perfect place to watch the kids play a game of cricket in the expansive level back yard (a rare treat in this sought after location), or to later add your own swimming pool if you wish. Working from home could not be any more convenient, with a large office with separate entry from the home. A rare and valuable commodity in the 4101 postcode, the property includes secure garaging for 2 cars, and off-street parking for a further 2 cars. The home has been lovingly restored by a family, who understands that storage is often difficult to find in such a home, so have ensured that there is an abundance of storage, through walk in robes, walk in pantry, built in robes, mudroom and a walk-in linen closet.
Located within the Brisbane State High catchment area, and only a 5 minute walk to some of Brisbane's premier schools and universities, including St Laurence's Boys College, Sommerville House Girls College, West End Primary, Brisbane South State Secondary College, QUT and Griffith Southbank Campus. The Mater Public and Private Hospitals and Queensland Children's Hospital are all only a stroll from your front door. This is a superb lifestyle location, on the doorstep to the city and an easy and picturesque walk to the South Bank Parklands and West End's Boundary Street precinct, the choice of cafes, restaurants and bars is endless.
Opportunities like this are only presented on a rare occasion.
