Masterful Queenslander renovation with extraordinary space and views

Spanning a double 810m2 allotment within the exclusive Poets Corner enclave, this striking Queenslander represents the epitome of timeless character meeting luxurious contemporary design.

From its expansive 20 metre street frontage, to the incredible 500m2 of under-roof living space and 3-metre-high ceilings on both levels*, the architectural renovation has created a family character home of rare proportions.

Likewise, the flawless restoration of its original period features and handcrafted timberwork throughout deliver a bespoke residence of unsurpassed quality.

To the north-east front of the home, a gorgeous semi-enclosed verandah exudes authentic period ambiance, with wall-to-wall casement windows capturing superb treetop and area views.

Grand and elegant, the sprawling open-plan living spaces encompass a formal dining area and stunning designer kitchen with stone island breakfast bar, 2Pac joinery and European appliances. Custom New Guinea Rosewood and glass stacker doors connect the interior with a magnificent rear alfresco entertaining deck running the full width of the home. Here, breathtaking 180° views extend across parkland to the city skyline in one direction and Mount Gravatt in the other.

The sheer openness of these upper-level zones and perfect north-east aspect create a sublime atmosphere awash with natural light and cooling cross-breezes.

Meanwhile, the just-completed lower level of the home presents a series of stunning contemporary spaces, lined with VJ walls and ceilings to harmonise with the upstairs. Featuring an additional lounge, two of the home’s five large bedrooms, a brand-new bathroom and its own private entrance, this level offers genuine dual-living potential. It is even water and gas plumbed for a kitchenette, if desired.

Alternatively, it functions as the perfect children’s retreat or versatile entertaining space with direct access onto a second covered outdoor deck and into the huge fully-fenced rear yard.

This prestigious elevated address sits just a short walk from train, river ferry or bus transport and 4km to the CBD by road. Also located moments from local cafes, parkland and a choice of elite schools (including Anglican Church Grammar School, Lourdes Hill College and Norman Park State School), the diverse shopping and lifestyle precincts of Hawthorne, Oxford Street Bulimba and Coorparoo Square are all accessible in minutes.
