For more than a century, this grand Queenslander has held its place beneath the trees of Laurel Avenue. Built in 1912 and set across four lots on an extraordinary 1,570m2 corner allotment, it is a home shaped as much by the life lived within it as its beautiful architecture - from quiet mornings on the veranda to garden celebrations enjoyed under the canopy of its established trees, there is a wonderful sense of occasion here, whatever the moment.
The residence celebrates the character of its origins while creating a home of enduring comfort and ease, where wide verandas introduce interiors rich in traditional Queenslander detail. Soaring ceilings, VJ walls, decorative fretwork, French doors and timber floors are joined by magnificent, pressed metal ceilings and an open fireplace. Generous living and dining spaces unfold with an effortless connection to the outdoors, while the light filled kitchen sits comfortably at the heart of the home, serving both everyday family life and entertaining with equal ease.
Outside, the sheer scale and beauty of the grounds reveal another side to the property. Sweeping lawns, mature trees and established gardens create a wonderfully private setting, with front and rear decks offering places to follow the sun, catch the breeze or simply sit and take in the greenery. A heated swimming pool is tucked privately amongst the gardens, accompanied by a studio offering wonderful flexibility as a pool house, second home office or home gym. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged for family life. The master bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own walk-in robe and ensuite, together with a separate home office providing a dedicated and private workspace directly off the bedroom. A separate children's wing brings together three further bedrooms and the family bathroom.
A considered renovation by architect Derek Trebilcock in 1992 has ensured the home continues to meet the needs of modern family life, with eight split-system air-conditioning units, an alarm and security cameras adding comfort and peace of mind. Three-car carport accommodation completes the practical picture, while the remarkable four-lot holding brings a sense of space and possibility that is increasingly difficult to find.
Laurel Avenue is one of Brisbane's most recognised addresses, celebrated for its leafy streetscape, beautiful character homes and enduring sense of prestige. This address places you within the catchment for Graceville State School, moments from St Aidan's Anglican Girls' School and Ambrose Treacy College, with Chelmer Station, the cafés and restaurants of Honour Avenue and local riverside green spaces all within easy reach. Beautifully preserved and held within grounds of remarkable scale, 76 Laurel Avenue offers the rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a landmark home - one that deserves to be experienced in person.
