In a stylish fusion of classic Queenslander with today's push-button convenience, this outstanding residence is perfectly positioned in sought-after Paddington. Perched on an elevated 698m2 block, the child-friendly 4-bedroom home is designed to catch the light, the breezes - and wonderful city views.
The lower level, with double garage, laundry and generous off-street parking, is accessed by front or rear stairs. On the middle level, the huge lounge opens to a protective wrap-around verandah, fringed with iron lace. Of the 3 bedrooms on this level, the largest is of suite proportions, complete with a walk-in robe and large bathroom. It shares entry to a private back deck with the comfortable home office.
The upper level beautifully integrates the expansive open plan with the surrounding verandah, to create a series of indoor/outdoor dining and living spaces. At the hub, is the functional, streamlined kitchen, complete with generous bench and cupboard space. Also on this level is the master suite, where you wake to views across the deck of sub-tropical, tree-studded Brisbane.
Attention to detail is impeccable. Colonial touches have been respectfully restored - from polished wide floorboards, French doors with brass fittings and leadlight windows to the charming picket fence under the spreading Poinciana tree. The modern touches are more subtle - clever tiling in ultra-modern bathrooms, plenty of power points, directional lighting and a top-to-toe white colour scheme that complements any furnishings or accessories.
This is a home with unsurpassed privacy, where you could throw a party for 100 or relax in cocooned privacy. In a picturesque street, this lovely residence is just a cycle trip from the city and within walking distance of the quirky shops and trendsetting eateries that are the defining essence of Paddington.
