This charming three bedroom home has been both lovingly maintained and sensitively reworked to cater for the needs of the modern family. Presenting a classic Queenslander frontage and white picket fence to the tranquil, treelined Geelong Street, a stunning verandah and latticework offers a glimpse into the blended traditional elements of the interior.
Inside, several details have been retained as references to East Brisbane’s architectural heritage, including VJ walls, polished timber floors and stained Flemish glass windows. Upon entry, an elongated hallway leads past the dining area, opening to a vast kitchen and living space beneath a soaring cathedral ceiling and skylight. The gourmet horseshoe kitchen spoils the modern chef with ample bench space, quality appliances, breakfast nook and beautifully tiled splashback.
Cleverly designed for easy indoor and outdoor living, the adjacent living area offers direct access to the exterior of the property, where a timber deck unfolds to the rear yard. Fully fenced and with privacy offered by hedges and native trees, this fantastic alfresco space features an easily maintained lawn and sparkling in-ground pool.
Returning inside, all three bedrooms line the main hallway, providing warmth by way of wood veneer built-in robes and timber flooring. Each bedroom is generously sized and lies within easy reach of the central family bathroom, featuring mosaic tiling, vanity and bathtub/shower combo. An extra powder room and separate laundry complete this wonderful family home.
Added extras include storage shed, rooftop solar panels, ducted and split system air conditioning and off-street parking for one car.
Just 2km from the Brisbane CBD, this position is within easy reach of all the cosmopolitan highlights of Brisbane’s Eastern suburbs. Minutes away are the eclectic dining and entertainment precincts of Kangaroo Point, Coorparoo Square, Riding Road and Oxford Street. Families will appreciate their close proximity to Mowbray Park, the Brisbane River and several prestigious schools, including Anglican Church Grammar School and Lourdes Hill College.
Homes that offer traditional charm, space and modern appointments are rarely this well located. Growing families, savvy investors and downsizers not ready to give up traditional living should inspect today.
