A Proud Queenslander History

Elegantly proportioned and understated, this restored Queenslander home delivers a kind of relaxed quietness, one that seems particularly well-suited to accommodating the ebb and flow of busy lives. Desirably situated in arguably one of the signature streets and handiest locations in between revamped Sherwood and popular Graceville’s Honour Avenue precinct with boutique cafes, restaurants, arthouse cinema and shops in addition to both train and bus transport very close by. Prominent private and public schools including popular St Aidan’s Anglican Girls school are also located within walking distance as is Sherwood Arboretum recreational parkland, cycle paths and sporting clubs.

This refined residence has undergone renovations and now permeates tasteful interiors that feature the most amazing and beautiful dark charcoal-stained polished Hoop Pine flooring throughout the upstairs floor plan. Soaring beaded pine walls and ceilings allude to the original residence dating back to 1896 when constructed in Pinkenba before being relocated to its present 810m2 allotment in the mid 1920’s. Despite the house’s place in history the architecture will now appeal to buyers desiring an understated inviting interior palette with a combination of contemporary modern design improvements within the traditional character Queenslander structure.

A peaceful front veranda is welcoming and leads you into this home that showcases three oversized bedrooms. The main bedroom suite offers walk-through robes and a stylish ensuite complete with a floating Caesar Stone benchtop vanity with dual sinks, a walk-in shower recess with two shower heads and stunning patterned charcoal and white floor tiles and white subway wall tiles. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also substantial in size and each offer an additional sleepout space perfect to use for a study, wardrobe or sitting area.

The connected informal living, dining and kitchen area refurbished last year now promotes simple family and entertaining interaction and relaxation with every room providing a direct relationship with each other. This is often not available with Queenslander footprints but welcomed in modern busy households. These rooms all extend out through Barn Style timber tracked doors to a sizable, covered deck that poses the perfect North-East aspect for Brisbane. Those all-important prevailing summer breezes will be captured and late morning sunshine during the cooler winter months.
The heart of the home must be the cleverly designed kitchen which delivers visual impact and functionality within the open plan footprint, using a commanding island stone bench and quality cabinetry and luxurious stainless steel Smeg branded appliances. Food preparation and cooking comes easy with a larger oven capacity also equipped with 5 gas burners for clean efficiency making kitchen life easier every day. A second bathroom similarly designed to the ensuite with an added bath is close by along with a very handy laundry/butler’s corner.

Downstairs provides masses of storage and workshop/hobby space and capacity for two vehicles in tandem in addition to the double carport to the side of the property. A child and pet-friendly fully fenced rear yard allows for the growing family with a perfectly placed inground pool away from the house which provides opportunities to further extend, raise and build-in under or just kept as is for immediate enjoyment. Magnificent palm trees feature close to the pool area to inspire a new tropical ‘Palm Springs’ style garden creation.

The owners have carefully shaped and adapted their home with a creative modern vision leaving scope to continue. Now it is time where you can express your design flare should you so choose or just move in and enjoy! Make it yours today!
