A magnificent colonial-style Queenslander with classic architectural character and a commanding presence, this exceptional highside Sherwood residence makes a memorable first impression. Beyond its charming white picket fence, the original 1914 home occupies an impressive 810sqm allotment across two lots, with a substantial 20-metre frontage. Graceful verandahs, decorative timber detailing and lush greenery celebrate its heritage, while thoughtful contemporary updates bring comfort and sophistication to family living.
Soaring ceilings up to 3.3 metres, polished timber floors and classic VJ walls lend warmth and character to the main living level. An elegant living room opens through multiple French doors to the wraparound verandah, while the adjoining dining area and kitchen connect directly to a north-facing entertaining deck. Extending over seven metres, this magnificent outdoor retreat enjoys beautiful leafy outlooks across the surrounding gardens, providing an idyllic setting for entertaining and relaxation.
The gardens below are equally captivating. Tropical palms frame the 8m x 4m saltwater swimming pool, while expansive lawns, established trees and an outdoor fire pit create a wonderful backyard for family life. A substantial covered patio offers further entertaining space, complemented by an impressive lower-level lounge and wet bar.
Beautifully appointed with extensive cabinetry and a separate pantry, the kitchen incorporates a gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher. Thoughtfully renovated, the space connects effortlessly with the adjoining dining area, while windows wrapping around the kitchen draw in natural light and leafy garden views, maintaining a lovely connection to the outdoors while cooking or entertaining.
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms provide flexibility for family living. The upper-level master suite enjoys verandah access, a walk-in wardrobe and spacious ensuite, accompanied by a versatile fifth bedroom or home office opening to the rear deck and a nearby bathroom. Three large bedrooms occupy the lower level, alongside a third bathroom, separate powder room and laundry with an adjoining drying court. Ducted and split-system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, excellent storage, a garden shed, secure double carport and additional driveway parking further enhance the home's practicality.
