Hidden amongst the treetops of one of Bardon's most tightly held streets, 41 Osman Street is a rare and remarkable piece of Queensland architectural history. Designed by acclaimed architect Chris Clarke and completed in 1992, this extraordinary residence was featured in Neil Jackson's seminal publication The Modern Steel House and remains one of only four private homes Clarke designed in Brisbane.
Conceived as a double-cantilevered bridge house, the home is an elegant composition of slender galvanised steel and expansive glass, appearing to float effortlessly within its leafy setting. Clarke's innovative structural design achieves a rare lightness, allowing architecture, landscape and natural light to exist in perfect harmony. More than three decades after its completion, the house remains as contemporary and captivating as ever.
Lovingly maintained by its current owner, the residence retains the integrity of Clarke's original vision while benefiting from thoughtful cosmetic updates, including sympathetic repainting and polished finishes. It is a home that honours its architectural pedigree while offering exceptional comfort for modern living.
Set across a generous 577m² allotment, the deceptively spacious home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living areas that embrace Brisbane's subtropical climate. Every bedroom opens onto a balcony, while expansive sliding glass doors blur the distinction between indoors and out, inviting cooling breezes, abundant natural light and extensive treetop views.
Nestled in the garden, a separate secret studio provides an inspiring retreat for those working from home, pursuing creative endeavours or simply seeking a quiet sanctuary immersed in nature.
The location is equally compelling. Just moments from Goodfolk Café, the expansive off-leash dog park at Buchan Park, highly regarded schools and only minutes from Brisbane's CBD, the home enjoys all the conveniences of inner-west living while feeling completely immersed in its natural surroundings.
Properties of this architectural significance are seldom offered to the market. 41 Osman street, is more than an exceptional residence-it is an important example of Brisbane modernism, thoughtfully designed for Queensland's climate and landscape, and an opportunity to become the custodian of a home whose design remains as relevant today as when it was first conceived.
