Meticulous custom finishes are the hallmark of this superb Hawthorne residence that triumphantly unites modern livability with bespoke styling, to present an immaculate Queenslander with a pool and city views that at its heart, remains a welcoming family home.
Originally built in the early 1900s, the property has undergone a recent detailed renovation that has seen every last element of the building scrupulously overhauled.
As such every facet of the project has been addressed, with custom stained glass, acoustically lined flooring and the entire residence comprehensively wired for sound, air-conditioning, security and technology.
The same dedication is apparent in the high level of presentation, with the chosen finishes perfectly mirroring the classic design aesthetic, being both highly refined yet significantly bespoke in nature.
Tallowwood hardwood floors now run seamlessly throughout, stunning light fixtures have been sourced from Europe and America to compliment the classical finishes of this home – the cornices and joinery offer classic profile and proportion and perfectly bridge the gap between the old and new.
While formal rooms, complete with wood-burning fireplace, flank the front entrance, the main living areas present as one unified zone and incorporate multiple spaces for relaxing and dining along with a large Northeast-facing, wrap-around veranda that is effortlessly assimilated with the inside through expansive bi-fold doors when needed.
The prominently placed kitchen is well realized, with an impressive Carrara marble-clad island bench, the full suite of VZUG appliances, a separate butler’s pantry and preparation zone. Even the built-in upright Siemens fridge and freezer has been integrated into the handmade cabinetry.
Five bedrooms feature throughout, with the main room very much a serene retreat, with an ‘A-list sytle’ large walk-through wardrobe and dressing room leading to a generously proportioned ensuite. It also boasts an expansive private balcony and, like the rest of the home, beautifully finished detailing including artisan-made window paneling.
The other four bedrooms are similarly elegant, all being of spacious proportion and filled with natural light. There are an additional two bathrooms, adorned with Devon & Devon bathroom furniture, including a stunning polished cast iron bath that has been imported from Italy. The home has plenty of storage.
Outside, the elevated home is totally secure from the street, allowing for wrap around views to the city in one direction with views and breezes to/from Balmoral and Hamilton in the other. The comprehensive landscaping ensures privacy and furthers the feel of a hidden retreat with low-maintenance plantings surrounding in-built features such as the pool with travertine stone surrounds, gazebo and cubby house.
So close to all amenities, the property is within easy walking distance of quality schools, Oxford Steet shops and eateries with the CBD able to be reached by Citycat (3 minute walk) or an 8km drive.
A truly stunning property where success is measured in the detail, come home to modern livability and classic, bespoke styling with this custom-finished, grand and regal beauty.
Pool and garden maintenance included.
