One of the area's original homes, this huge circa.1915 Queenslander sits on 670m2 at the crest of an exclusive street, taking in sweeping area, city skyline, mountain and riverside vistas.
From the majestic faade with broad wrap-around verandahs to its vast character-filled interiors, this home encapsulates both the architecture and spirit or Queensland's yesteryear. Meanwhile, its impressive renovation has created a three-level 615m2 family floorplan of exceptional luxury and versatility.
Prepare to be captivated by the soaring pressed metal ceilings, ornate timber work and array of French doors opening to the home's alfresco spaces. Enjoy the sublime hilltop breezes and natural light filtering throughout, both enhancing the magnificent outlooks captured from almost every corner of the residence.
The main living level of the home is so elevated that it sits above all the surrounding rooftops. Views stretch from the hills of Norman Park, across the city and Mount-Coo-tha, taking in the iconic Woolstore Buildings, over to Hamilton and up to Balmoral Hill. Expansive open plan kitchen/meals areas and separate formal family/dining rooms are both perfectly orientated to the north. Each open onto the verandah creating the ideal flow for indoor-outdoor entertaining, whether it be small and intimate or large and lavish!
Also boasting high ceilings, the ground level features a huge additional living/rumpus area opening out to a second wrap around deck and lush landscaped gardens. The secure, private and tranquil yard features a handmade wood-fired pizza oven, as well as plenty of space and side access to build a swimming pool if desired. An incredible purpose-built media room has also been created on the home's lowest level, delivering the ultimate in sound-proofing, light and climate control.
Six built-in bedrooms, three with private ensuites, are accompanied by two central bathrooms to offer outstanding space for even the largest of families. A separate self-contained granny-flat/studio (with kitchenette, bathroom, loft-style bedroom and outdoor patio) is ideal for teenagers, guests or even an income-generating rental/Airbnb!
Additional highlights of the property include the original wide plank floorboards and VJ walls; huge modern kitchen with stone benchtops and European appliances including gas cooktop and dishwasher; ducted vacuum, double remote integrated garage plus secure onsite parking for a boat and caravan; abundance of thoughtful storage including a room ideal for use as a wine cellar.

Metres from a great local caf, bakery, butcher and boutique, it is also within easy walking distance of parkland, excellent schools and childcare centres, the Garage' gourmet grocer and Hawthorne deluxe cinema/dining precinct. Oxford Street Bulimba is close enough to be your shopping "local", with quick access to further amenities at Morningside.
