Built in 1885, this late Victorian home (one of the few treasured remaining terrace houses in Brisbane) not only oozes character of a by-gone era, but after an extensive renovation offers a stylish yet modern and comfortable inner city residence.

From the street, Victorian inspired lacework that frames the lower verandah and upper balcony give clues to what awaits – lets have a look shall we…

Built to last, this rendered and freshly painted brick residence offers three levels of living. As you enter from street level, you are greeted by a light and spacious living room with gleaming timber floors. Three metre high ceilings complete with ceiling roses showcase the old whilst contemporary crystal chandeliers show off the new without off setting the balance.

The custom designed French inspired kitchen offers top of the range German appliances including steam oven and ducted range hood. Perfect for entertaining! The kitchen opens out to the newly renovated outdoor alfresco area with new shrubbery and retaining walls – this space is oh so private and is perfect for a wine after a hard days work. A powder room with custom built cabinetry and individually selected fittings such as a mother of pearl splash-back provides an alternative to the two bathrooms upstairs.

Off the courtyard a pathway leads to the third (lower) level- the cellar. Possibly used for coal back in Victorian times this interesting space could be transformed into a wine cellar, art studio or extra storage. With the addition of an internal staircase, it could even provide an additional room internally, this was once the case.

A solid timber staircase leads you to the top level. On this upper floor, there are two large bedrooms with the master offering an en-suite, BIR and a balcony accessible via beautiful French doors. The second bedroom has a Juliette balcony with city views, fresh carpet and a BIR.

Also beautifully finished, the second bathroom offers a spa bath for those nights of comfort and leisure. The ceiling is now steel pressed with stylish wall paper, curtains, fixtures and fittings and will make you not want to leave its confines.

All the recent renovations really gel with the late 19th century architecture and it simply works – the more time you spend in Annie the more it charms you. This is a one off so don’t miss it.
