This is a rare opportunity to find space, peace, and privacy just 3 klms from Brisbane City. A home that will characterise your family's future, please don't miss it!
'Avonwen' was built on land subdivided and sold in 1865, as Brisbane grew beyond the early settlements of Spring Hill and Petrie Terrace.
This majestic Queenslander, over more than a century, has evolved into a magnificent family home whilst retaining the classic style and character of early Brisbane architecture.
The front of the house features full width, return verandahs, the back of the house opens to the north, inviting in winter sun and cool summer breezes. A beautifully proportioned garden has an expansive lawn that rolls down to the back fence, bordered by mature trees, enhancing the sense of space.
Stepping into the entry hall is a delightful experience, the sense of history and tradition obvious, the desire to see more, immediate. High ceilings, polished timber floors and decorative archways all underpin the quality throughout this historic home.
The kitchen is a lovely bright area that interacts perfectly with the various internal and external living spaces, becoming the hub of family life on a daily basis, stories shared while meals prepared. An exposed brick fireplace shapes the living area upstairs, generating heat on winter evenings, and a real aesthetic warmth generally. Balanced with high windows and lots of natural light, this area is perfect to relax and meet with friends.
The master bedroom suite would grace any exclusive hotel, offering space and light, against a backdrop of lush foliage. Coloured leadlight glass is highlighted in the ensuite, beautifully tiled and featuring an oval shaped bath by Victoria + Albert.
The lower level has a central family room, ideal for teenagers to hang out with friends, guests to have their own space, or somewhere to host a large family gathering. Opening directly to the garden and pool area, this is where a family has fun.
3 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are on the lower level, plus the laundry, and access to the garage.
To summarise this magnificent home:
- 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms over 2 levels
- Various internal and external living spaces
- Custom built kitchen and laundry
- Magnificent garden with expansive lawn and 12 metre saltwater pool
- 2 car lock up plus extra space – ducted aircon – enhanced security
