This grand two plus level statement home with 60m street frontage is a landmark that offers design, detail and workmanship of a bygone era. From its core, this home is a masterpiece of historical significance and architectural prominence. Built in the early 1920s by a ship's captain, and held within the same family for the last 35 years, this home has been beautifully restored in line with its original charm and character, while still offering boundless potential. The attention to detail from its forefathers is a work of art, and with the owners committed to sell, it is a magnificent opportunity.
Perched on a massive 1,022sqm on a renowned patch of Windsor, this historic home is truly one of a kind. The balance of history and liveability is exhibited in the grand entrance hall with soaring double height ceilings and unique striped timber floors, which opens onto a sunny living room. The living area flows onto a veranda with expansive views towards the city and bay. On one side is an ornate dining, with intimate fireplace on the other, it's genuinely beautiful open plan living. The kitchen, master dressing, bathroom and mudroom have been stylishly refurbished with intelligent architectural design that is truly impressive. For the professional who works from home, you will not find a more amazing office, with intricate timber panelling from the galleys of the original owner's ship. A truly rare piece of Brisbane history, this home is beautifully traditional yet offers a functionality which is not often seen in homes of this character.
