Set on a tranquil 2.5acre estate in one of Gumdale's most sought-after enclaves, Tea Trees at 727 Grassdale Road is a masterful blend of timeless heritage and contemporary acreage living. Originally relocated from 27 Merthyr Road, New Farm in 1974, this grand residence carries the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era while embracing the sophistication and ease of modern family life.
Beyond the tree-lined driveway, the two-storey main residence exudes warmth and character, framed by sweeping wrap-around verandahs and surrounded by established gardens. Inside, every detail tells a story: original pressed metal ceilings, rich timber floors, Sant'Agostino designer Italian tiles and a soaring six-metre void over the dining area that bathes the home in natural light. The Garsden and Clarke-designed kitchen stands as the heart of the home, fusing form and function with bespoke cabinetry, high-end finishes and effortless flow to the meals and family spaces. A dual Jetmaster fireplace adds ambience, while built-in ceiling speakers and ducted 18 kW air-conditioning ensure comfort and entertainment in every season.
Upstairs, the master suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with its own dressing room, spa ensuite and private rotunda balcony, a perfect spot to enjoy morning light filtering through the trees. Three additional bedrooms, a study and an upstairs living space create flexibility for family living, work and relaxation. Throughout the home, classic architectural details are balanced with modern technology, including NBN fibre with boosted connectivity, three-phase power, a heat-pump hot water system, LED sensor floodlights and an intercom gate with remote opener.
The lifestyle offered here extends seamlessly outdoors. French doors open to a generous entertaining alfresco area that overlooks the resort-style swimming pool, complete with slide, diving board and a poolside pavilion ideal for relaxed afternoons. A built-in fire pit invites cool-weather gatherings under the stars, while lush lawns roll toward a private rugby pitch and garden courtyard. Practicality is never overlooked, with numerous outdoor water taps, secure undercover parking for a caravan or boat, and separate workshop and storage sheds catering to every hobby or need.
Privately positioned beyond the main home, the self-contained guest residence provides exceptional versatility. With its own kitchen, living and dining areas, bedroom and balcony, it offers ideal accommodation for extended family, guests or additional income. The guest residence can also be used for accommodation, a business, or as a studio, providing flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles. While it has previously been used for Airbnb, it is not currently operating as a short-term rental. The residence is separately metered for electricity, allowing for easy management and complete independence.
This extraordinary property is more than a home. It is a lifestyle statement, offering the tranquillity of country living just minutes from urban convenience. Families will appreciate the close proximity to respected schools, boutique cafes and local shopping, while Brisbane's CBD and bayside are an easy drive away.
