Some homes preserve the past. Others embrace the future. Very few manage to honour both with the confidence and originality found here.
From the street, this residence immediately sets itself apart. Elevated above its surrounds, the traditional Queenslander silhouette proudly celebrates its heritage, while the thoughtfully designed lower level introduces a contemporary edge that feels both bold and beautifully resolved. Designed by renowned Brisbane architect David Hansford and comprehensively renovated throughout 2022 and 2023, the transformation is both considered and exceptional. Framed by custom fencing with slight, curved detailing, established landscaping and a fully enclosed frontage, the home offers an unmistakable sense of presence before you've even stepped through the gate.
Stepping inside, the story takes an unexpected turn. Rather than entering the home's original character spaces, you're welcomed into a beautifully crafted contemporary living environment where polished concrete floors, refined finishes and an effortless connection to the outdoors immediately set the tone. At its heart, the designer kitchen is unlike anything else. Soft mint cabinetry pairs beautifully with warm chocolate upholstery banquette seating, integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge and freezer, SMEG appliances, a hideaway study nook and thoughtful joinery to create a space that feels equal parts functional and unforgettable. Flowing seamlessly into the sunken living area, this level extends effortlessly to the covered alfresco, sparkling freshwater inground pool and landscaped backyard beyond. Together, they create a lifestyle centred around entertaining, relaxation and making the most of Queensland's indoor-outdoor way of life.
Designed to Be Lived In. Impossible to Forget.
As you continue upstairs, the home's original soul begins to reveal itself. Ornate ceilings, VJ walls, original timber floors, bay and casement windows honour the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while every contemporary intervention has been thoughtfully considered rather than simply added. The result is a home where heritage and modern living exist in complete harmony, each enhancing the other without ever competing for attention.
A second living area offers another inviting place to gather before opening through sliding doors onto the elevated entertaining balcony. Complete with a built-in outdoor kitchenette, sink, dishwasher, bar fridge and preparation space, it is the perfect setting to host family and friends while enjoying glimpses of the Brisbane city skyline. Throughout this level, beautifully appointed bedrooms, a dedicated studio or home office with a sliding feature wall, bespoke floor-to-ceiling display cabinetry and carefully curated finishes continue the home's thoughtful design. The privately positioned master suite is equally impressive, featuring a walk-through wardrobe and dressing room before leading to a luxurious ensuite complete with both rain and standard shower heads. The main bathroom offers a striking Roman bath with shower, while an impressive laundry with its own dedicated drying room, ducted air conditioning with individual zoning and an elongated double garage designed to comfortably accommodate larger vehicles, jet skis or additional recreational equipment further elevate the home's exceptional functionality. Beyond the pool, a private firepit retreat creates yet another destination to relax long after the sun goes down.
Positioned within one of Brisbane's most admired inner east suburbs, Coorparoo offers an enviable lifestyle just five kilometres from the CBD. Moments from Coorparoo Square, Martha Street, Camp Hill Marketplace and Stones Corner, residents enjoy an outstanding selection of cafes, restaurants, boutiques and everyday conveniences. Families will appreciate access to exceptional schooling, including Coorparoo State School, Coorparoo Secondary College, Villanova College, Loreto College and Churchie, while nearby Whites Hill Reserve provides expansive parklands, walking trails and recreation. Combined with excellent transport links, proximity to major hospitals and continued investment leading into the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, it is easy to understand why Coorparoo remains one of Brisbane's most tightly held and highly regarded addresses.
This is not simply a renovation. It is a home with its own personality, thoughtfully crafted for those who appreciate character, creativity and design that dares to be different.
