Stunning “Poet’s Corner” Residence in Coveted Norman Park

A must see residence, the owner has spared no expense in enhancing this home to deliver an enviable lifestyle in this beautiful part of inner Brisbane.<br/><br/>Perched high in the best part of Thackeray Street, this beautifully renovated Queenslander offers multiple living areas with an idyllic low maintenance lifestyle in one of the most sought after locations in Norman Park.<br/><br/>Inspired by the sophistication of the classic Hamptons style, the interior presents an exquisite collection of spaces that harmoniously blend the home's original charm, updated for a modern lifestyle. The characteristics of yesteryear, including polished timber floors, ornate archways, lead light breezeways and VJ walls, have all been retained and restored to perfection.<br/><br/>A private gate brings you into the front garden where you will be greeted by the leafy shrubs and gardens forming a delightful easy care green space. The front terrace is large, surrounded by a private green setting that seamlessly connects to the large living area inside, with enough room for a home office. Another two large bedrooms with full size built-in robes are located on this level. The second bathroom on this level has the luxe factor with a white freestanding bath, shower and vanity adorned with designer fittings. Internal access to the lock-up garage and a laundry with full under-stair storage space completes this level.<br/><br/>This flexible design creates subtle separation and ample space for dual living or guests. <br/><br/>The kitchen, living and dining areas are combined in a spacious open plan. Superbly appointed with premium fixtures and fittings, the chef's style kitchen has a five burner freestanding SMEG oven-cooker and the owner has meticulously installed a bespoke natural timber bench top with plenty of drawers, storage and space to inspire intimate family meals and gourmet dinner parties. <br/><br/>A charming living area upstairs connects onto the verandah from two sides and through ornate openings to the kitchen dining area. The original home shines here with renovated period windows, high ceilings and original VJs, providing a beautiful window into our housing past yet encompassing modern amenity and comfort. A new roof and gutters were added when renovated to give peace of mind in your purchase.<br/>Entertaining is easy on this level with the large, hinged pivot window which opens to connect the verandah and the kitchen via a servery.
