Offering an attractive street appeal, faithfully renovated and extended by Architect Kevin Hayes, this two-storey Colonial home sits in one of Brisbane's inner North's most liveable and in-demand suburbs. Perched on an elevated 674m2 block and positioned high on Wilston Hill in one of Newmarket's finest streets, is this amazing example of pre-war architecture. This classic home built in 1907 offers polished timber floors, high ceilings, VJ walls and sash windows. The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, multiple living spaces, covered deck, new pool and enjoys a magnificent vista sweeping from the Border Ranges to Mount Glorious. Capturing the cool North East breezes during the summer, it is a cool light home.
Beyond the private front courtyard and sweeping front verandah, entry to the home is through a traditional central hallway. The hallway takes you past the formal dining room, two bedrooms and a main bathroom, which can open onto a private secure verandah. Passing through the roomy centre of the home over hoop pine floors you enter into the well-appointed, light filled kitchen featuring European stainless-steel appliances, stone bench tops and a walk-in pantry. Off the kitchen is a cosy sitting area that flows out to the roomy covered back deck. You will love having dinner or drinks, while taking in the sunset and views to Mt Glourious. The deck also overlooks the low maintenance back yard and stunning new salt water in-ground pool, featuring Ivory travertine tiles.
The privately separated master bedroom is also located on the top level and features a functional walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and air conditioning. Next to the master bedroom is another large living room, currently used as a parent retreat sitting room.
Descending the stairs to the lower level, you are greeted with a huge living and dining entertainment area. Many happy functions have been held in this room that makes you feel like you are in an outdoor room, but completely protected from the elements. Large Silky Oak doors open out onto a small balcony that overlooks the pool. This large tiled entertaining room flows out onto a spacious paved terrace which leads you down a few stairs to a level, child friendly yard and in-ground pool.
On the other side of the stairs on the lower level is a family sized laundry, with plenty of storage. The fourth bedroom is a good size with views and opens onto the outdoor paved terrace.
