At the crest of the hill in a tree-lined Coorparoo avenue, this late c.1930s residence brings history, architecture and family life into beautiful focus. A northerly rear aspect draws sunlight into the home, while city and Story Bridge views connect its peaceful elevation to the skyline beyond. Comprehensive renovation, designed by DAH Architecture, the residence pairs its original character with a pared-back mid-century aesthetic across more than 350sqm of considered design just steps from Coorparoo State School and Coorparoo Square.
There is a quiet richness to the interiors, where original timber floors, ornate ceilings and character windows meet the clean lines of the transformation. Natural timber cladding and bespoke cabinetry lend warmth to polished concrete, while upholstered seating creates soft, inviting places to pause.
Shaped around Queensland's climate, the lower level opens to the light, air and rhythm of life outdoors. Stacking glass doors draw the sunken lounge into the alfresco setting, where the freshwater pool brings a shimmering backdrop to afternoons at home. Children can swim as conversation drifts between indoors and out, before everyone gathers around the backyard firepit as daylight fades. In the kitchen and dining area, integrated seating invites company, while a discreet study nook keeps the practical details gently out of view.
Above, the family living area opens to a balcony and outdoor kitchenette, offering another place to entertain or quietly watch the day recede. Pour a drink as afternoon light moves across the landscape, then linger as the city and Story Bridge glow against the evening sky.
Designed to give established families space to come together and time apart, five bedrooms and three bathrooms offer thoughtful separation across two levels. Three downstairs bedrooms, alongside the main bathroom with a Roman bath and a powder room, give older children their own independent domain.
Upstairs, the master suite and guest bedroom join the living zone and balcony to create an adult retreat. The master incorporates an original bay window seat, private study, walk-through robe and an ensuite with a double shower. An insulated study or studio features bespoke cabinetry and a sliding feature wall, while a viewing panel in the guest bathroom reveals beautiful natural light from the staircase below.
