Overview

"The palms" - TIMELESS CHARACTER MEETS REFINED FAMILY LIVING

Rich in character and unmistakably Queensland, "The Palms" is an exceptional residence where history, craftsmanship and refined modern living come together beautifully. Dating back to the late 1800s and one of Wellington Point's earliest character homes, this remarkable residence has been meticulously renovated and is presented in immaculate condition. Original features have been carefully preserved and celebrated, while considered modern updates ensure the home is perfectly suited to contemporary family life. Set on an expansive 1,199sqm allotment amongst established gardens, "The Palms" immediately captures attention with its classic Queenslander architecture. A sweeping wraparound verandah, polished timber floors, traditional VJ walls, soaring ceilings, casement windows and an original fireplace create a home filled with warmth, charm and individuality. Generous living spaces are complemented by four bedrooms and a character-filled loft, providing wonderful flexibility for family life. Beneath soaring VJ-lined ceilings, the loft offers an inviting additional retreat that could be enjoyed as a home office, library, children's lounge or quiet sitting area. Adding another unique touch, one of the bedrooms features its own elevated nook, an enchanting space that could serve as a reading corner, additional storage or a special hideaway for children. The main bedroom is a peaceful and beautifully presented retreat, retaining the character details that make this home so distinctive. Traditional casement windows frame tranquil views across the established gardens, while a charming window seat provides the perfect place to unwind. A stylish ensuite with barn door entry complements the room while remaining sympathetic to the home's heritage. At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated kitchen brings together character and contemporary functionality. Elegant marble benchtops are paired with a substantial concrete island bench and handcrafted copper rangehood, creating a striking centrepiece. A 900mm multi-cavity oven with gas cooktop and quality appliances complete a kitchen designed equally for everyday family life and entertaining. The original fireplace provides a beautiful focal point within the main living area, while polished timber floors, VJ walls and soaring ceilings continue the home's timeless character throughout. Established gardens create a private and leafy setting around the home, with the generous 1,199sqm grounds providing an abundance of space for relaxed family living and entertaining. A sparkling swimming pool is complemented by a separate multi-purpose pool house, offering exceptional flexibility as a home gym, art studio, games room, teenage retreat or additional entertaining space. The size of the allotment may also provide potential for future multigenerational living or a granny flat, subject to council approval. Beautifully renovated and meticulously maintained, "The Palms" offers the charm and craftsmanship of a historic Queensland home without compromising on modern comfort, quality or presentation. Perfectly positioned close to Wellington Point's village precinct, cafés, restaurants and boutique shopping, the home is also within easy reach of highly regarded local schools, public transport and Birkdale train station, with Brisbane CBD approximately 25km away.
