Having undertaken a complete renovation over the last two and a half years, this stylish double storey home on a large 645m2 level allotment is elevated and has remained unaffected by Brisbane’s flood events in 2011 and 2022. With versatile living areas on both levels, multiple outdoor entertaining decks and pool, teenager’s retreat, master suite with balcony and light, fresh interiors, this family residence offers the ideal low maintenance lifestyle. The over height carport will accommodate 4WDs, a boat or caravan and the location is just a few minutes’ walk to neighbourhood parks and riverside bikeways.
Finishes within the home reflect today’s design trends, with polished concrete floors throughout the downstairs living spaces and glass balustrades to the internal staircase, upper-level balconies and frameless pool surrounds. Vivid whites, greys and warm hardwood timbers feature throughout, tying all internal rooms and outdoor areas harmoniously together.
Capable of meeting the demands of large, busy families, this residence will adapt to an ever changing dynamic, providing versatile spaces to suit those working from home to teenagers who are studying, and for ageing parents that may be living with you.
Private from the street yet boasting an open, bright feel, step into the central foyer, with sunken living area to your left and dining and kitchen to the right. A wide glass opening allows you to look out across the pool deck and to capture cooling south-easterly breezes. With an all-new redesign, the functional kitchen styling delivers an L-shaped central island that will easily seat 6, marble look Caesarstone benchtop surfaces and white gloss cabinetry offering an abundance of practical storage.
Cooking for more than a few, the 900mm 5 burner gas cooktop range with canopy rangehood overhead, performs ably. Bifold windows open to a servery on the deck, for easy pass-through of food when entertaining friends or simply enjoying a casual weekend barbeque while the kids play on the lawn. Pathways surround the house, so whether moving from the firepit seating terrace and back deck to the front poolside deck and sun lounge area, access is effortless, without needing to go through the house.
Take the steps to the upper level, where polished timber floors lead to a secondary living space, offering children their own rumpus, media, games or study zone with private deck, three queen-sized, built-in bedrooms, family bathroom plus a separate, king-sized master suite.
The private master bedroom has been elegantly restyled to create a restful retreat for parents, with a balcony that looks over the pool, a full wall of mirrored robes plus additional his and hers robes and walk-through dressing room. Flowing to the light-filled ensuite, darker matt finished floor tiles are contrasted by white gloss floor to ceiling porcelain tiles. There is a stylish twin, round-edge, rectangular basin vanity ahead and dual entrance shower enclosure, with two rain and rail shower heads.
With the same engineered stone surface finishes, high-quality tapware and designer inclusions, the family bathroom adds a luxurious, freestanding oval bath; a floor filling mixer tap with handheld shower perfectly practical. At ground level, the remaining bedroom sits adjacent to another similarly styled bathroom, offering convenient powder room amenities to the residence’s main living areas. The laundry with its stone worktop surface, overhead cabinets and under bench appliance area is just a few steps from the outdoor drying area.
Throughout the redesign and comprehensive renovation, the home’s electrical, plumbing and pool’s saltwater filtration systems have been replaced and upgraded to optimise energy efficiency. LED downlights and feature pendants, Mitsubishi split system air conditioning and ceiling fans, new hot water system and in-roof insulation significantly reduce ongoing running expenses.
Fully fenced with visitor gatehouse entry, the residence remains private. Generous levels of off-street covered parking have been provided under the high clearance, pitched roof carport. Security, too, has not been overlooked, with the owners incorporating an alarm system with back to base monitoring and smart automated multi-camera intruder detection, for peace of mind.
In this quiet, tree-lined street, many new builds and renovations to existing homes are taking place, continuing Graceville’s defining presence as an upmarket residential suburb with an exceptional lifestyle that families love. See cyclists, people walking their dogs and plenty of friendly faces in the neighbourhood. This residence sits within the catchment for Graceville State School (only a ten minute walk away) and Corinda State High School, with numerous private school offerings close by.
Vibrant cafés, refined dining and local shopping delights make Graceville, with its village like atmosphere, a favourite spot to meet up with friends. Home to its own boutique cinema complex, Regal Graceville, train station and prized inner west location of only 8km from the City, convenience is five star.
