Every detail celebrates the elegance of a classic Queenslander. Polished timber floors, soaring 3.8-metre ceilings, VJ walls, breezeways, fretwork, French doors and a stunning leadlight entrance have all been lovingly preserved, while Swarovski crystal chandeliers add a touch of sophistication and luxury throughout.
The welcoming front verandah overlooks beautifully landscaped gardens, parking for 3 vehicles off road, while the oversized garage with mezzanine storage offers level access directly into the upstairs of the home and main kitchen - an exceptionally practical feature that is rarely found in character homes.

Designed to embrace its elevated outlook, the upper level features open plan living and dining flowing seamlessly onto a full-width entertaining deck where panoramic bay views become the backdrop to everyday life.
The beautifully appointed kitchen is equally impressive, complete with a 900mm gas cooker, dishwasher, twin pantries and generous preparation space, making entertaining effortless.
Accommodation includes three spacious bedrooms, two with built-in robes, a beautifully renovated family bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot bath and separate shower, plus a convenient study nook tucked away at the top of the stairs.

The lower level has been thoughtfully designed to provide exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests or dual living.
The luxurious master suite enjoys direct access to a peaceful courtyard deck and features a spacious walk-in robe together with an indulgent en-suite offering a spa bath and double vanity.
A generous second living area with cosy fireplace and kitchenette creates the perfect self-contained retreat, while a third bathroom conveniently services both the lower level and pool area.
Outside, the resort-inspired lagoon-style saltwater pool, pergola entertaining area and expansive covered deck create an idyllic setting for family gatherings, relaxed weekends or unforgettable evenings entertaining beneath the stars.
