Rising across three levels with city views from every one, this character-filled residence is defined by a soaring atrium beneath a glass roof, where motorised blinds temper the light and greenery frames the outlook. Set on an elevated 506sqm block in arguably Balmoral's best street, the home pairs period detail with generous, adaptable space and offers plenty of scope for the next owner to put their own stamp on it. Character is layered through every room - ornate plaster ceilings, timber floorboards and VJ walls set the tone, while French doors, leadlight glass and stained glass windows add colour and craftsmanship throughout.
Multiple living zones allow the family to spread out. Upstairs, the main level brings together the kitchen, dining and living areas, with a Westinghouse gas cooktop for the home cook and a covered balcony made for taking in the skyline. The atrium-style family lounge sits at the heart of it all, rising to ceilings of up to ~4.3m and opening onto a massive entertainers' deck, while the laundry completes this level. Below, a spacious downstairs lounge with a fireplace offers a second place to gather.
Two bedrooms are found on the lower levels, keeping the sleeping quarters private and mostly separate from the living areas above. An additional bedroom on the main level and a multi-purpose room on the upper level provide space for working from home.
Outside, timber decking carries the entertaining into the garden, from the entertainers' deck off the family lounge to a further deck in the backyard, where a swimming pool and spa are set among lush greenery. A fenced grass yard to the front adds space for children and pets, while a garage, large storeroom, PV solar panels and a water tank cover the practicalities.
Inner-city convenience is never far away, with the boutique shopping, restaurants and cafes of Oxford Street, Hawthorne Road and Riding Road close by. The home sits within the Bulimba State School & Balmoral State High School catchment, with Sts Peter and Paul's School nearby and elite private options including Lourdes Hill College, CHAC and Churchie within easy reach. With public transport also close at hand for an easy CBD commute, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home of real individuality in Balmoral.
