Rich in character and wonderfully individual, this 1930s Sherwood residence brings together expressive architecture, playful interiors and lush tropical gardens. Occupying 835sqm, the home makes a memorable first impression with its geometric breeze-block walls, terracotta rooflines, white weatherboards and established greenery. A 2009 extension and further additions in 2023 have introduced contemporary architectural elements, while extensive landscaping by John Mongard Landscape Architects has created an extraordinary sense of privacy.
The main living room is particularly captivating. A soaring pitched ceiling with exposed white beams rises above an impressive expanse of almost double-height triangular glazing, filling the space with natural light and framing the surrounding greenery. Hardwood timber floors, decorative wallpapers, panelled walls and playful touches of colour lend warmth and personality throughout. Open-plan living and dining connect through broad sliding doors to the stone-paved alfresco, while a separate living room, open-air courtyard and deck provide additional spaces to gather, entertain or retreat.
The kitchen brings a more contemporary contrast, pairing extensive warm-toned cabinetry with dark benchtops and a waterfall island. A gas cooktop, electric oven, built-in wine fridge and new dishwasher complete the space, with indoor dining or long lunches outdoors equally appealing depending on the occasion.
The gardens are every bit as remarkable as the architecture. Towering palms, mature trees and richly layered tropical planting surround a substantial swimming pool, expansive lawn and separate paved terrace. Beautifully established and thoughtfully landscaped, the grounds offer exceptional separation from neighbouring homes, creating a secluded setting for entertaining, relaxing and spending time outdoors.
The bedrooms continue the home's distinctive character, with VJ-lined walls and thoughtfully chosen wallpapers bringing individuality to each space. The master bedroom is particularly striking, its pitched ceiling and detailed panelling creating a beautiful sense of height, complemented by built-in wardrobes and an ensuite overlooking a water feature. Three additional bedrooms occupy a separate wing alongside a dedicated office space and main bathroom. A powder room, laundry, air-conditioning, double garage and lockable storage room add everyday practicality.
Sherwood offers an appealing combination of neighbourhood charm and city convenience. Local cafés, restaurants, Woolworths and Sherwood railway station are all within walking distance, while the beautiful riverside grounds of Sherwood Arboretum invite afternoon walks, picnics and weekends outdoors. Sherwood State School and a selection of respected schools in nearby Graceville and Corinda further enhance the appeal for families.
Architecturally individual and enveloped in greenery, this is a home with character enriched with every chapter. Arrange your inspection to experience it firsthand.
