Become part of the ever-evolving story of 'Waitara', a once-in-a-generation Federation estate and a testament to Brisbane's architectural past, spanning an extraordinary 2,170sqm (over half an acre) at one of Clayfield's most distinguished addresses.
A rare and resplendent landmark, that once seen is never forgotten, this embodiment of old-world romance and graceful grandeur awaits a new custodian to continue its legacy.
Constructed at the turn of the last century and immaculately preserved, this enduring abode is heralded by ornate, original architecture and framed by award-winning gardens, creating a realm of enchantment where the built and natural environments effortlessly converge.
Reminiscent of a bygone era, traditional master craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the 13-foot horsehair plaster ceilings, original timber floors, ornate columns and wood-burning fireplaces to the French doors and double-hung windows that capture radiant sunlight and refreshing breezes off the bay. Enhancing the grandeur, formal and informal living rooms celebrate ageless beauty, while a private office or art studio provides an inspiring retreat to breathe in the breathtaking greenery.
Transitioning outdoors, the estate unfolds to four distinct garden rooms, where manicured lawns, an ornamental fountain, a swimming pool, and breezy verandahs form a landscape that entices endless entertaining, games of croquet, days by the pool, and moments spent in the gardens cutting fresh bouquets.
Resting on a seldom-seen landholding, 'Waitara' offers the potential for a north-south tennis court (STCA) and includes DA-approved architectural plans to usher in a new era while honouring its iconic past.
