Vibrant Inner City Living with Contemporary Queenslander Style A dynamic setting in an inner-city million dollar plus street gives this very appealing home close access to all the cosmopolitan attractions of cafes, culture, convenience & sheer good living.Meticulously renovated & extended to maximise space & engender a soothing & serene atmosphere, this former Colonial worker's cottage presents a sophisticated blend of chic contemporary appointments, the finesse of charming design accents, a palette of subtle cafe colours & classic exterior period style.In a word; Immaculate… The face this delightful home presents to the street is both classic Queenslander & as fresh as tomorrow.In fact, the first (and lasting) impression of this attractive home is the craftsmanship, attention to detail & quality materials used in a renovation that could easily be mistaken for a brand new home.The Queenslander cottage exterior conceals more than a virtuoso interior design. The surprisingly spacious layout, which has proved its suitability for the South-East Queensland climate & lifestyle for more than century, encompasses a natural breezeway hall flanked by 3 generous bedrooms & a study, 2 bathrooms & a massive open plan living, dining & kitchen area.In our great sub-tropical tradition of indoor/outdoor entertaining & relaxing, there is also a shady front verandah, a delightful north-east facing rear entertaining deck & a large concreted under the house area screened by traditional vertical timber slats.Inside, the 3 bedrooms, study & family bathroom run off the central breezeway hall. Each bedroom has individually controlled reverse-cycle air-conditioning, generous mirrored built-in wardrobes & quality sisal carpet in rich chocolate. A set of double doors opens to the study which also features a mirrored built-in wardrobe/office stationery cupboard.An open niche defines the luxurious powder room from the hallway. The adjoining family bathroom is the embodiment of pure elegance. It features large travertine-look floor & complementary wall tiles - all dramatised by designer feature tiles in cafe colours of latte & mocha. The high quality fit-out includes a large spa bath, separate frameless glass shower enclosure & circular porcelain washing vessels set in suspended vanities.The large & fluid living, dining & kitchen area is dominated by blonde timber flooring, gleaming below a series of stainless steel quartz halogen lighting fixtures. Powerful reverse cycle air-conditioning has the capacity to cool or heat this entire open plan area.In the kitchen, luxury stainless steel European appliances including a 5-gas burner, double oven & exhaust rangehood provide the right tools to whip up any culinary delight. Long rectangular white tiles with slumped glass tissettos in the splashbacks perfectly complement the two-toned, glossy two-pack cabinetry. Stunning granite transformations in the benchtops are diamond polished & inset with crushed mother of pearl shells. Dramatic suspended lighting effects above create eye-catching sparkle to the shells.Charming French doors open to a fully-lined entertaining deck complete with horizontal privacy slats & marine wired balustrading. Facing a perfect North-East, this is a delightful spot to dine, relax or entertain at any time of the day.Beyond is a grassed rear garden, large enough to accommodate a swimming pool. A special ambience is created by an attractive geometrically designed pathway & lush sub-tropical landscaping that is sustained by a 3,000 litre rainwater tank. A large garden shed is discreetly located to the very rear of the property.The concreted lower level, screened by traditional vertical timber slats, houses the laundry, entertaining area, second bathroom & generous vehicle accommodation. Remote controlled roller doors are fitted to both ends of the secure garage allowing access to the rear garden. The ability to raise & remodel this space provides enormous potential (subject to Council approval). You could double the size of the existing home, create expansive living areas & extra bedrooms or conduct a home business.In an area dominated by mix of million dollar plus contemporary & traditional style, this is a property that stands out as one of the most charming homes in the street...it is a property designed to please the senses.THE LOCATIONA quiet setting in a leafy neighbourhood makes it something of a surprise that this impressive home is just 2.5kms west of the Brisbane CBD - a premium city fringe location that gives access to all the excitement & facilities of the central city yet has the advantages of a tranquil setting in the suburbs.As well a being minutes to the city, the location is within easy reach of excellent local shopping, parkland, dining & entertainment opportunities, the full range of professional services & hospitals including the Wesley Private Hospital with Queensland’s l
