The "Spring Hill Enviro-Cottage" is one of the most extraordinary homes to grace the Brisbane real estate landscape. Offered to the market for the first time, this one-of-a-kind architectural triumph sets a new benchmark in inner-city tranquillity, style and sustainability.
Along with preserving the classic Queenslander worker's cottage, the property has been meticulously reimagined to deliver innovative, eco-friendly dual living. Featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a designer kitchen and various welcoming family spaces, every last detail has been carefully considered. From the kitchen joinery made from reclaimed timbers to the energy-efficient fixtures, eco-friendly paint, solar power system, underground water storage, and even the eco plunge pool demonstrating that sustainability and environmental consciousness can be delivered without compromising style and all the conveniences of modern living.
In harmony with this, patterned corten steel screens hug the upper elevations, promoting privacy, minimising heat, and creating a striking aesthetic. By day, sit back in the mezzanine lounge and be mesmerised by the dappled light that dances across the interiors. By night, a starry sky twinkles beyond the geometric laser-cut design in the master suite, lulling you to sleep.
The passive design principles also extend to strategically located louvres, doors and windows. These draw in cooling breezes, while a glass-top void above the dining and kitchen area invites soft winter sunshine in to naturally warm the home. Exquisite burnished concrete flooring adds to the atmosphere of industrial sophistication, with oversized sliding walls of glass facilitating a seamless indoor-outdoor integration. Lining the kitchen/dining zone and the separate living area, they open up to the central grassed courtyard as if this outdoor entertaining space was a natural extension of the home.
This tranquil inner-city sanctuary offers the convenience of being a leisurely stroll to esteemed educational institutions and an easy 5-minute walk to the CBD. Vibrant Southbank and Fortitude Valley plus Queen's Wharf, Howard Smith Wharves and beautiful riverside walks await close by too, along with central green spaces such as Roma Street Parkland and heritage-listed Victoria Park.
