Held and cherished by the same family for almost 40 years, this exceptional Clayfield residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a home of architectural significance, timeless character and enduring family appeal. Occupying an elevated north-east-facing 810m² allotment, the property enjoys breathtaking outlooks across the district to the Glass House Mountains and D'Aguilar Ranges, capturing cooling breezes and spectacular sunsets from its commanding position.
Originally renovated and redesigned in 1989 by Robert Collin of Chris Hills Architects, the home seamlessly blends classic character with thoughtful architectural design. Rich in warmth and personality, it has been carefully crafted for family living, with generous proportions, abundant natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors evident throughout. A striking rear atrium and feature staircase form the heart of the residence, creating an effortless link between the two levels while enhancing the sense of space and openness. Large windows frame views of the established rear gardens and draw natural light deep into the interiors, while soaring ceilings and multiple living zones provide exceptional flexibility for growing families and effortless entertaining.
The versatile floorplan comprises four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated study and multiple living and dining areas spread across the home. Two fireplaces add warmth and atmosphere to the living spaces, creating inviting settings for both everyday living and special occasions. Every room has been positioned to maximise privacy, outlook and functionality, while the home's elevated position ensures an abundance of natural light throughout the day.
Outside, beautifully established gardens surround the residence, creating a private sanctuary rarely found in such a convenient inner-city location. Showcasing exceptional craftsmanship, hand-cut sandstone walls line the driveway, while free-form stone retaining walls are thoughtfully integrated throughout the landscaping, enhancing the home's natural beauty and sense of permanence. A striking bluestone retaining wall frames the pool area, complementing the careful craftmanship of the landscaped terraces. Multiple outdoor sitting areas are nestled amongst mature gardens, while the large swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the grounds, providing the perfect setting for family gatherings and summer entertaining. Electric gates, back-to-base security, water tanks, automated irrigation and secure parking for three cars further enhance the practicality and liveability of this outstanding property.
Positioned within the Eagle Junction State School catchment and just moments from St Margaret's Anglican Girls School, St Rita's College and Clayfield College, the location is as impressive as the home itself. Offering architectural pedigree, panoramic views, remarkable privacy and a substantial landholding in one of Clayfield's most tightly held pockets, this is a residence that has been treasured for generations and is ready to create lasting memories for the next family.
