Located high on Bishop's hill in Petrie Terrace is this perfect low maintenance cottage. Immaculately presented, the home will tick all the right boxes for move-in ready easy-care living. With no through traffic at the top end of the suburb, Earl street is regarded as one of the premier streets in this historical suburb. The gorgeous cottage has long been admired by locals and visitors alike. Set city-side the home offers low-maintenance living and is positioned to capture incredible views and fresh southerly breezes.
Full of character yet blended seamlessly with modern and functional enhancements, this home is full of pleasant surprises. The quaint iron lace gate leads you on to the property where you can choose the timber decked tropical lined pathway to the rear of the home, or to the front door leading onto an incredible front open veranda that offers up the most sensational views right across to Mount Coot-Tha and beyond. Here you feel you really are on top of the world.
As you step inside the home, the blend of old and new take shape. Expected, the polished hoop pine flooring, timber fret work over the doorways, vertical joined timber walls and high ceiling synonymous with these character cottages are a standout. The light filled bedrooms, all separately air-conditioned and with ceiling fans are each of a good size with the front two bedrooms fortunate to have bi-fold doors that open directly onto that amazing front veranda. One of these, the master, has its own modern en-suite where even in the shower you can admire the mountain views. The central bathroom/laundry is modern, big, beautifully tiled and well laid out to provide plenty of room for the large vanity, WC, shower over the bathtub and space for the washing machine.
Leaving the sleeping quarters the home opens up into a wonderful air-conditioned combined living and dining space serviced by a modern open plan kitchen. Such a pleasant space, the outdoor tropical setting on one side the home almost feels a part of this external space whereas the modern kitchen becomes yet another viewing platform to the vast open lands of Brisbane's Southwest. The kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with 2-Pac cabinetry, dual kitchen sinks, stainless steel appliances including five burner cooktop, oven and Bellini dishwasher. There is even a full-size servery window that pushes open from the kitchen onto one of the many outdoor decks. The outdoor deck space here is a great spot to enjoy a glass of your favorite tipple after a hard days work and take in those magnificent evening sunset views.
Outside you are treated to full wrap around decking neatly edged with tropical garden plants and seating allowing for multiple entertaining and/or relaxation spaces. Heading below the home there is huge clean lock up multipurpose space once used as a local private boxing gym. This concreted room has ceiling height well above legal habitable requirement and could potentially provide additional living or a double lock up garage that is evidenced in surrounding properties. (subject to council approval)
At the top end of Petrie Terrace, it is just a short stroll over to Brisbane Grammar and Roma Park Gardens, yet you also remain close to The Barracks shopping, dining and entertainment venues, Caxton street, Suncorp stadium, Ithaca Swimming pool and the YMCA. Other close by schools include Saint Josephs, UQ, QUT, Petrie Terrace State School and Kelvin Grove State College all of which are within a short drive/walk. "And" let's not forget the 2032 Olympics, living here and you will be the envy of everyone you know.
