Occupying an elevated position in one of Paddington’s most prestigious pockets, this extraordinary, award-winning residence captures superb city views and showcases a stunning fusion of architectural design, luxury and excellent family liveability.
A remarkable transformation of an original worker’s cottage has delivered a property with exceptional attention to detail. Meticulously crafted with a contemporary, mid-century aesthetic, the home celebrates inspired design and a wonderfully connected approach to low-maintenance, family living.
Upon entry, the quality and creativity are immediately apparent. A soaring void creates a dramatic welcome, while glazing floods the interiors with natural light. Beautiful materials, natural timber accents, honed concrete flooring and striking tiles inject colour, texture and personality throughout.
The spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area is designed to make the most of the outlook. Floor to ceiling glass sliders perfectly frame the view - it’s a private snapshot of the city skyline that can be enjoyed any hour of the day.
The stunning kitchen features an exquisite Artedomus marble topped island bench, premium Neff appliances, including double ovens and an abundance of storage. Integrated banquette seating provides relaxed dining, while the sunken lounge is a showstopper. This chic conversation pit, with a suspended fireplace, is an inviting space for family and friends to gather. The home has an effortless indoor/outdoor flow and a barbecue terrace is perfect for alfresco entertaining. A fully tiled swimming pool is nestled within a private central courtyard, cleverly positioned to be visible from the kitchen. This thoughtful design reinforces the home's wonderful sense of connection, allowing family life to unfold between indoor and outdoor spaces. While architecturally striking, it is the home's clever and considered floor plan that sets it apart. Living spaces flow effortlessly between levels and there is room for family members to enjoy their own space, while still feeling connected to the heart of the home.
There are two bedrooms on the main level, both with built-in cupboards and integrated desks. They share the stylish family bathroom and there is also a second powder room for convenience. The Master retreat is privately positioned on the upper level. This beautiful and spacious sanctuary enjoys a sweeping outlook and boasts a generously sized walk-in robe and a stunning ensuite with freestanding bath and first class fixtures.
On the lower level, a spacious, light-filled casual lounge area opens directly to the flat lawn, landscaped gardens and pool. This is a superb, versatile space for children and adults alike, offering room to relax, play or entertain. Beautiful timber panelling discreetly conceals a bathroom and sauna, while a generously sized fourth bedroom and a separate, light filled office complete this level.
Even the car accommodation is innovative. A double carport incorporates a hydraulic vehicle lift, providing access to an enormous secure garage below, with ample space for additional vehicles, recreational toys and a gym.
This property offers an extensive range of modern comforts, including ducted air-conditioning, integrated Sonos sound, solar power and state of the art security. Its exceptional design and sustainability have been recognised with prestigious Housing Industry Association awards for Residential Design and Green, Smart, Sustainable Home.
The location is equally impressive - it’s in the heart of Paddington, just a short stroll from the vibrant restaurants, cafés, bars and boutiques of Latrobe and Given Terraces. The property enjoys easy access to Suncorp Stadium, public transport and the CBD, just 4km away. It sits within the sought-after Milton State School catchment and there are numerous leading schools nearby.
Architecturally impressive yet wonderfully welcoming, this is a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Its clever floor plan, beautifully connected spaces and exceptional attention to detail delivers the perfect balance of sophisticated design and easy everyday living.
