49 Dell Road, St Lucia QLD 4067

If you have been searching for a family home that combines modern functional design with the warmth and charm of yesteryear, look no further.

Perfectly positioned on a large 673 sqm parcel of land in the heart of St Lucia, and adjoining a park, this property boasts a stunning green leafy outlook.

Originally built in the early 1950s by Sir Jack and Lady Rose Murray (former colonial administrator to the Territory of Papua-New Guinea), the Murrays incorporated much of their colonial lifestyle into the original design of the house. This can be seen in the banks of large casement windows, timber shutters, and abundant storage cupboards throughout the home.

In the mid-1990s the property underwent a significant renovation; renowned local architect and RAIA residential award winner Bud Brannigan was engaged to design a significant extension that opened up the home and effectively doubled its existing living area.

The property now features:
- elevated ceilings, and polished hardwood timber floors throughout
- four generous light-filled bedrooms, the master with ensuite and private deck.
- a separate study or den
- three original bathrooms
- a functional kitchen, perfectly positioned to service the formal dining, lounge and huge covered entertainer's deck
- a downstairs area ideally set up for separate living accommodation, or a home office.
