The property game has always been less about chance than it has been about strategy - a series of carefully calibrated moves designed to take advantage of position while occupying certain all-valuable squares on the grid. Typically involving combination tactics of advancing your position while protecting vested interests, in the current red-hot Brisbane market it's also about securing not just a property but a victory, particularly in the face of challenges mounted by multiple fierce foes.
It's a new law of the game that Duke Realty director Sam Patterson readily attests to, confirming when it comes to his most recent Bulimba listing, "We don't anticipate this uniquely-positioned terrace home will last very long." Pressed for why, Patterson explains, "It's mainly because of the impressive finishes and cleverly-designed floor plate that allow it to resemble less your typical townhouse and more a commanding, individual home."
Just one inspection reveals exactly what Sam is referring to, as you encounter a 212m2 architecturally-designed residence, one in a series of exclusive and striking statement homes. Part of Bulimba's esteemed TriBeCa development, these particular terrace homes in fact rarely become available, thanks to the ongoing enjoyment derived by their original, predominantly owner-occupier residents. Plus, with two-level townhomes nowdays an increasingly rare gambit in a marketplace dominated by tri-level designs, it's easy to understand why residences such as this one are highly sought after and tightly held. Naturally, this places a premium on the need to act quickly and with focus and determination to secure this particular residence, a calculated move forming the basis of a successful end game.
Indeed, Lot 39 itself certainly out-manoeuvres most other local offerings, courtesy of a clever floorplate and meticulous standard of finish as well as pristine maintenance which has kept its condition near-new. Add to that the multiple upgrades and additional inclusions attended to by its discerning original owners and you'll see that this property indeed boasts an impressive score card, calling checkmate on its competitors through a game-winning combination of property features, position and potential.
Immaculately presented, this two-level terrace home embraces a tailored, masculine aesthetic, with its combination of rich, dark timber grains, moody marbles, rugged natural stone and sophisticated finishes also guaranteeing genuine appeal across the board. Cleverly calculated design choices including beautiful oak timber floors and quality textured wool carpets add softness, warmth and character, promising sophisticated styling for the everyday.
More specifically, a well-appointed kitchen integrates vast stretches of dark timber-veneer cabinetry, with Pietra Grey splashbacks, 40mm wrap-around benches and feature strip lighting all adding to a refined and glamorous feel. A full suite of high-end Miele appliances including gas cooktop, concealed rangehood, built in wall and microwave/combi ovens as well as semi-integrated dishwasher offer the best in performance and quality, while a fully-integrated fridge/freezer marks yet another luxury upgrade completed at the current owner's request. A strategically-placed bar including built-in wine fridge, custom wine rack display and backlit shelving for glassware couples modern luxury with old-world culture, a winning combination against which there is no appeal.
Beyond, open plan living and dining spaces give way to a lushly landscaped courtyard in which large-format granite pavers are set among glossy black pebbles and verdant greenery. Promising a low-maintenance lifestyle, this space also includes a tiled entertaining terrace with integrated external sink and Beefeater stainless steel BBQ, designed to make entertaining a breeze in your private garden retreat. Add to this a corner position and private front gate with direct access to Johnston Street and even just the experience of entering your property becomes akin to entering a freestanding home.
Upstairs, occupying centre, is a main bedroom suite of grand-master proportions, flowing to an upper level terrace enjoying brilliant morning sun and cool afternoon breezes off the river. A unique vantage point from which to survey the beautiful Bulimba neighbourhood, privacy and protection is assured courtesy of an umbrella canopy of poinciana trees. Also on the upper level, two additional, generously-proportioned bedrooms offer built-in mirror robes, as well as their own fully-wired and wall-mounted television screens. Combination block-out blinds and sheer curtains filter light and privacy, while two spa-inspired bathrooms incorporate luxe marble features, high quality tapware, rain shower, soak tub and abundant bench space and storage, all ensuring this level provides all occupants a private and restful retreat should they choose to retire at the end of a long day of play.
A separate guest powder room and a well-ventilated laundry combine with secure dual car accommodation featuring expoxy flooring and extensive built-in storage to complete the downstairs offering, making excellent use of all available space. Additionally, you'll appreciate a number of other unique and personalised upgrades designed to maximise residents' security and comfort, including MyAir ducted airconditioning, video intercom, security screens and dual TV points to both lounge and dining, not to mention double plasterboard upgrades to all common walls on both levels, ensuring a whisper-quiet existence for those residing within.
Better yet, this stunning residence is located within Bulimba's favoured northern pocket, on the doorstep of a relaxed and vibrant lifestyle that's become the suburb's unique offering. Positioned practically parkside, you'll find yourself just a few minutes stroll to the retail, cinema and restaurant strip of Oxford Street, while the nearby Apollo Road Ferry terminal invites you to embrace the very best of riverside living as you venture further afield.
So, irrespective of whether your endgame is about pursuing a sound investment strategy or securing a property that promises an enviable and fulfilling lifestyle, this is a terrace home that ultimately represents opportunity for those playing to win. Be not a pawn in the game; instead assert your own strong positional play - make your move today on this stunning TriBeCa Terrace Home.
