Welcome to Springfields – A timeless country-style estate that will steal your heart.

Approaching via the long gently winding driveway, your senses will be captivated by the surrounding lush green grounds, mature trees, manicured hedges, rolling lawns and floodlit tennis court. The circular driveway, adorned with jacarandas, and an impressive fig-tree as its stunning centrepiece, will herald your arrival at this classically beautiful Queenslander residence. Wide, wrap-around verandas offer a warm welcome to a home that exudes character, charm, and elegance. Perfectly positioned on 2.5 acres of expertly landscaped grounds in prestigious inner Pullenvale, Springfields offers a peaceful retreat from the hectic pace of city living.

Originally two separate Queenslanders; one dating back to 1890 and the other 1910, the character homes were relocated to 80 Huntingdale Street Pullenvale in the late 90′s. Fast forward to 2019, and the home has undergone a meticulous renovation and restoration process, under the expert guidance of renowned architect Ivan Gastaldon, and the execution of CGH Constructions. The result is the creation of an elegant, family residence that seamlessly blends the grace of the past with the functionality of the present.

The front door, which showcases stunning stained and leaded glass, swings open to reveal a home rich with character detail including wide central hallway with original wide hoop pine timber floors and soaring pressed metal ceilings. To the left of the wide hall are the formal rooms, and to the right the master suite.

The formal lounge and dining rooms are of extremely generous proportions. The rooms are characterised by classic pressed metal ceilings, a bay window looking out to the garden and an original fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry. French doors opening to the veranda are fitted with invisible retractable screens. They ensure the doors can be left open day and night in summer without the inconvenience of pesky insects. In winter, a cosy ambiance is created around the fireplace, and the original pocket doors can be closed to keep in the warmth.

Across the hall is the private master bedroom. It incorporates an ensuite reflecting understated elegance with decorative encaustic-style floor tiles with under-floor heating, generous soaking tub, large frameless shower recess and large farmhouse style vanity with oversized sink for two. Adjacent to the ensuite is the walk-in robe which provides ample space for clothing. With good separation from the other bedrooms, and lovely views of the garden from the built-in window seat beneath the big bay window, the master bedroom is a peaceful retreat.

Further down the wide hall is a lovely light-filled library/reading room, which enjoys views of the tranquil swimming pool. The remaining family bedrooms are located around this library, (which younger families may choose to use as a playroom or homework station). There are four more family bedrooms on this level, each with custom built-in robes, room for desks and lovely outlooks to the gardens. One of the four bedrooms can function as a second master, with its own generous ensuite, featuring encaustic cement tiles, clawfoot bath, separate shower, separate toilet, and robe. The remaining three bedrooms share an equally stylish bathroom with double vanity.

For the comfort of guests, there is a separate powder room featuring an elegant washstand by Perrin and Row and decorated with Carrara marble floor tiles and sophisticated wallpaper by Schumacher.

The centrally located library also acts as a gateway between the formal rooms and the recently recreated casual living zone. This enormous, light-filled area features 13 foot ceilings – coffered and lined in VJ panelling. It comprises the casual dining and family rooms and the generous provincial kitchen. Taking advantage of the perfect north-east aspect, the kitchen/living/dining area is flooded with morning sun and the family rooms enjoy loads of natural light and beautiful breezes throughout the day. The oversized custom bi-fold doors that open to the rear deck and the pool deck are screened to offer an indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is quintessentially Queensland. Taking centre stage in the family room is a huge wood burning fireplace. Surrounded in white-washed reclaimed brick, it is both visually striking and creates a sense of warmth and intimacy in this generous space. Adjacent to the fireplace is a custom built in window seat with storage which wraps around the windows facing the pool. It is adjoined by cabinetry containing a pop-up television, which can be lowered when not in use to maintain the garden view.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream come true with a full complement of European appliances. It features two Asko ovens, (one is a combination steam as well as conventional oven) a plate-warmer, induction stove top with gas wok burner and rangehood. The appliances, including integrated double fridge, is showcased in fresh, white, custom shaker cabinetry. The large central island features Quartzite stone benchtops. The butler’s pantry provides ample storage for appliances and is fitted with a Zip tap. A double farmhouse sink sits below a big window overlooking the chicken coop, raised veggie garden and mini orchard. Established lemon, lime, orange, and banana trees offer an abundance of fresh produce all year round. In fact, the kitchen provides an ideal vantage point to watch over the kids from almost every angle, from the pool to the back deck and both the side and rear yards.

The very private, free-form pool, surrounded by French-cut Travertine paving, is perfect for lazy summer afternoons, as is the big rear deck with built-in Beefeater BBQ, ceiling fans and built-in speakers. This space is equally charming for entertaining in winter with an impressive outdoor wood fireplace wrapped in stone. It overlooks the large, levelled, child-friendly back yard with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows which is ideal for kids’ birthday parties or backyard cricket games. Alternatively play a few sets of tennis with family and friends on the championship tennis court. Afterwards relax and enjoy a cool drink in the shade of the adjoining tennis pavilion (with built in fridge) as you take in the views of the surrounding grounds. For those who love equestrian pursuits, the large paddock offers the possibility to build stables and keep a pony. Otherwise simply enjoy it for the green open space and the privacy it provides from the street.

When the kids are too raucous or the teenager’s need their own break-out space to entertain friends, there is an oversized recreation room located on the lower level. With a sixth bedroom and fourth bathroom also located on this level, it is perfect for hosting guests on extended stays or as a space for an adult child living at home. The well-equipped laundry with direct access to the outside clothesline is also on this level. There is also a custom-built wine cellar (with French Winemaster cellar conditioning) and a home gym/pilates studio. A private, north-facing home office with separate entrance, for those who would like the flexibility to work from home, is tucked away next to the car accommodation with additional storage and workshop.
