This landmark home is graciously positioned high up on a north east ridge showcasing an exquisite city panorama; dazzling by night and captivating by day, the sweeping vista can be admired from all the entertaining areas inside and out.
Circa 1937 with a Mediterranean inspired design, this elegant home is the very essence of St Lucia class and old world charm. Complete with four bedrooms, office, three bathrooms, multiple living areas, sophisticated entertainer's kitchen with meals area, alfresco terraces and decks to frame view, plus double lock up car accommodation on a fully fenced landscaped 870m2 with beautiful terraced gardens, inground swimming pool and gazebo; this much admired property is truly something to behold.
Italian influences are evident throughout with the delightful terraces and patios, wrought iron, marble ensuite, external terracotta colour scheme and more...Upgraded and renovated over the years, the home blends comfortable casual living and elegant sophistication harmoniously; working equally well as a glamorous entertainer that can hold the largest of social events, through to a warm family home where you can enjoy a quiet conversation around the cosy wood burning fireplace with a glass of red in hand.
There are many features that truly enhance this home's charm and appeal, including: parquetry flooring in the lounge, floor to ceiling glass walls in the sunroom to really highlight magnificence of view and position, plantation shutters, a romantic 'juliet' balcony off the master bedroom, granite benches in the kitchen as well as St. George and Miele appliances, gas cook top, air-conditioning and abundant storage.
A well designed floorplan promotes good separation of living, with casual and formal living areas to facilitate different purposes and occasions, plus placement of all bedrooms upstairs with a media room separating the children's bedrooms from the master; the ground floor is solely dedicated to lifestyle, with versatile spaces to suit all individual needs.
On a fully fenced block with abundant greenery, but very little lawn to care for, the gardens are well established and frame the home superbly, complementing the ambience of the home and continuing the aesthetic delights from the inside to the outside...the setting is enchanting.
The location couldn't be better...blue chip St. Lucia, within walking distance to the bus, and the highly sought after Ironside state school, and so close to University of Queensland, Brisbane Boys College, St Peters College, St. Lucia Golf Course, Toowong Village and the CBD; it doesn't get better than this.
Long term owners are downsizing and are serious sellers; they know what they have here is special and irreplaceable, but they are ready for the next chapter. This magnificent residence could be yours to relish for many years to come... contact Lori Jones today for your appointment to inspect 340 Swann Road, St Lucia.
