Step inside a luxury freehold terrace home, part of a limited collection of inspired residences founded upon a strong sense of place and purpose in a suburb residents love calling home…
Lodge.
A house set apart for residence, often in a particular season.
A smaller house typically found in the grounds of a larger house or estate.
To have a residence, to dwell.
To establish, settle or become firmly fixed or embedded in a place.
Literally and figuratively, despite many, varied definitions, the term "lodge" invokes a clear and lasting connection to the broader concept and sense of home. And, though it's rare for a modern townhouse to adequately capture that same sense, this sophisticated residence defies expectation, ensuring each of the above definitions finds resonance, while fostering the feeling of 'home'.
Designed for all of life's seasons, this generously-sized property is located within the grounds of a boutique development aptly named "The Lodges", comprising just 15 luxury terrace homes. More than just a residence, each freehold lot promises space where you'll want to linger longer; a place to establish yourself, to settle (down, not for) and to experience the sense of connection and belonging synonymous with the coveted suburb of Coorparoo.
"One of the most unique things about this suburb is that once people live here, they never want to leave," explains Duke Realty director and selling agent Sam Patterson. And, with such extensive amenity in close proximity to the city, it's easy to see why this suburb's long-standing residents continue to call this evergreen enclave home.
A much-loved, inner-Brisbane location, Coorparoo's value is assured courtesy of lush, tree-lined streets, large blocks, character Queensland architecture and the unrivalled connectivity of major arterials and a range of retail, hospitality, education and medical services that ensure this location's broad and lasting appeal. It's part of why the area has more recently seen developments move to accommodate Coorparoo's diverse range of demographics, yet there's still a certain nostalgia and spirited attachment to place that ever seems to endure here, from past to present day.
As a philosophical approach, it's this very understanding of area that formed the inspiration for this striking development and which is also cleverly accommodated in this beautiful, multi-level terrace home. A family passion project and collaboration between two experienced local developers, here you'll find a reimagining of traditional Queenslander architecture married with modern design sensibility, as character charm couples with contemporary convenience to create the ultimate luxury abode.
Nestled just below the ridgeline in Coorparoo's wide, tree-lined Stirrat Street, this extraordinary terrace home commands a strong sense of presence in its quiet yet connected location, embracing independent living within the context of a small, tight-knit community where freedom and connectedness are key.
As a single, uniquely-designed, freehold property located within an exclusive collection of inspired 2 and 3-level residences, longevity and future-proofing is assured here. In fact, with many of these terrace homes boasting their own private Italian-designed commercial-quality elevators, these multilevel abodes have been carefully designed for all ages and stages, with sophisticated styling, enduring quality and intuitive design elements all central to this particular home's appeal.
In a development where flexibility and choice of layout has been prioritised, this home embraces a generous floorplan, comprising three spacious bedrooms, two stunning bathrooms plus extra guest powder room and a second upstairs living area with soaring ceilings. Ample storage space and double lockup garage complete the offering, while a sun-filled courtyard with deep planting provides the ultimate promise of privacy and retreat.
Within, carefully curated palettes including both light and dark colour schemes give way to quality finishes including sophisticated European appliances, natural stone-inspired bathrooms, the warmth of timber flooring and extensive use of vast, high-level windows worshipping light.
Yet, beyond simply forming a checklist of first-class inclusions, this residence's extensive range of features and wonderfully connected location promise to transform one's experience of living and of home. From first visit, this beautiful terrace home signals an intention to provide long-lasting accommodation for those who wish to, well, "lodge" - to establish and settle in this beautiful location, not just for a season, but for a lifetime.
Call Sam Patterson to inspect this inspired residence and experience home as not just a place, but a feeling - one you'll know has arrived the moment you set foot inside this stunning terrace home.
