Rarely have I had the pleasure of finding an inner-city oasis with as much style, sophistication, and warmth as 71 Abingdon Street, Woolloongabba.
Positioned in the prized Gabba Hill Community, this house resembles like the terraces of Surrey Hills or Albert Park, seldom have I seen owners create something as special as this home.
With period pieces and original features that define a craftsmanship and quality for its next lucky owner to love and enjoy. The attention to detail and time spent sanding back 100 year old doors, adding porcelain pieces and finding art deco lighting is truly magical and spectacular.
Every inch of this property both inside and out is meticulous and timeless, the clever use of space and design here is second to none. There are multiple storage options including linen cupboards, bookshelves, storage cupboards, attic space, could there actually be such a thing as too much storage?
The stunning kitchen has a large pantry cupboard with pull out drawers and cupboards all the way to the ceiling. With its granite bench tops, gas stove and dishwasher, it is a glorious place to entertain and enjoy Brisbane's sub-tropical lifestyle.
