Occupying a sizeable 716m2 block with a 20-metre frontage in an established and exclusive enclave of Taringa is this intriguing 1950’s era home.
The classic tiled-roof bungalow is spacious and has an abundance of original charm.
However, it also boasts an architect-designed extension that was completed two decades ago but will still appeal to design lovers today.
On the entry level you will find the main living and entertaining spaces.
The sizeable kitchen has attractive granite benchtops and twin Miele ovens.
The open plan lounge and dining opens onto a timber walkway leading to a huge rear deck.
This is a wonderful, private space, enjoying lofty and leafy views and evokes the feeling of a treehouse – it’s a calming and picturesque spot, perfect for entertaining.
There are four bedrooms on this level, most with built in storage and air-conditioning and they share the large main bathroom that has a separate shower and bath and lovely, original travertine floors.
The lower level of the home has been updated and features concrete flooring and an abundance of light. Here you will find another bedroom, with built-in cupboards and access to it’s own private deck.
There is also a bathroom and laundry on this level.
A series of bi-fold doors open to the rear – it’s easy to imagine how this area could be transformed, with the addition of flat lawn and even a swimming pool.
Also in the backyard and slightly separate to the home is a striking studio.
This ‘garden room’ is constructed from off-form concrete and walls of reflective glass – designed to mirror the surrounding garden back to the house.
This structure has direct access to the front of the property, making it ideal as a space to work from home, see clients, or as an artist’s studio.
It could also be used as additional accommodation for guests, a nanny or older children.
There is a covered carport and additional off-street parking.
The property is located in a quiet, elevated and coveted street.
The Gailey Road shops and Indooroopilly Shopping Town are within easy reach as is St Lucia Golf Links and it is easy access to the University of Queensland.
It’s in the catchment for the coveted Ironside State School and Indooroopilly State High
and close to St Peters Lutheran College.
Transport to the CBD is close at hand.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a range of buyers.
The land size and post-war home presents exciting options for builders or developers, however it will also appeal to homeowners or astute investors keen to enjoy this blue-chip location and add their own touches to this unique property.
