Elevated within one of Wavell Heights' most established pockets, this beautifully considered home brings together the warmth and character of traditional Queensland living with a contemporary architectural edge. Rich timber floors, 2.9-metre ceilings, detailed cornices and louvred windows sit comfortably alongside generous proportions, modern finishes and an exceptional outlook stretching all the way to the Brisbane city skyline.
From the suspended concrete covered front porch, the home opens through timber sliders into a substantial dining/living space, where high ceilings and polished timber floors establish the character that continues throughout. Alongside, the generous kitchen is designed around a large central island, with 40mm Caesarstone benchtops, glass splashbacks, an oversized fridge cavity, integrated Miele dishwasher and impressive 900mm ILVE freestanding gas cooker with double ovens.
Moving deeper into the home, the floorplan opens into a wonderfully relaxed living room. Walls of glass louvres draw in natural light and breezes with spectacular views of Mt Coot tha and beyond, while the near-new Mr Stoves Vogue Navarra wood-burning fireplace creates a beautiful focal point and an inviting place to settle in through the cooler months.
Wide openings connect the interiors with the rear deck and established backyard, creating an easy transition outside. Beyond is a generous back yard with lush lawns and plenty of room for children and pets, together with a substantial freestanding garage/shed providing excellent additional storage or workshop space.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the main level, serviced by a contemporary bathroom, while a separate laundry and excellent storage add to the home's everyday practicality.
Then comes the surprise.
An open-tread timber and steel staircase rises above the living room to an entire upper level dedicated to the main bedroom. Generous in scale and wonderfully private, this is far more than simply a bedroom, incorporating a walk-in robe, ensuite and enough space to create a genuine retreat.
Large sliding doors open onto a private balcony, where the home's elevated position reveals itself completely. Looking across the rooftops and treetops, the outlook extends towards the ranges in one direction and across to the unmistakable Brisbane city skyline in the other — a remarkable backdrop to wake up to each morning and watch transform as the sun goes down.
Beautifully presented yet refreshingly individual, 24 Barker Street is a home with genuine personality: warm without feeling traditional, contemporary without losing its character, and designed to make the most of its elevated Wavell Heights setting.
