Positioned for absolute privacy from the street, this classic north facing family home resides on a remarkable 2711m2 in a peaceful pocket of affluent Coorparoo.

Drawing inspiration from the sprawling homes of the Hollywood Hills, the original designer-builder created a residence with the capacity to live, enjoy and entertain on a substantial scale.

The long, circular drive is the first indication that something exceptional awaits.

Upon entering the home the size and scale of the rooms are immediately striking. The elegant formal dining room features a classic open fireplace and a ceiling with ornate plaster cornicing. This opens to the truly grand proportions of the formal lounge. Boasting the same attractive cornice work on the ceilings and oversized sash windows to take in the view of the gardens, the lounge can accommodate the largest of family and social gatherings. It features a retro cocktail cabinet and a powder room is located nearby for convenience.

A very wide hall leads to the opulent master suite. The substantial proportions are shared by the master bedroom which features private his and her bathrooms, walk-in-robes and a separate powder room. The spacious room also catches beautiful breeze and light through sliding French doors which open to the courtyard.

Further down the hall is an exceptionally large den or home office. Its dimensions would allow it to also function as a media room or library.

Across the hall is a very large recreation room. Perfect for teenage parties or as a games room, it features a built-in bar and sliding French doors which open directly to the terrace, grassed area and swimming pool. Nearby is a bathroom for swimmers and a utility room which houses the pool and garden equipment.

Central to the layout of the home is the kitchen. Classic in its dcor, it features timber cabinetry, breakfast bar and stainless steel Ilve oven with teppanyaki plate. The casual dining area adjoins the kitchen and both open directly to the large courtyard with BBQ. The front terrace overlooks the extensive gardens and also offers beautiful views of the mountains by day and the twinkling lights of the city by night.

The five additional family bedrooms and three additional bathrooms are located in their own wing. Each bedroom captures lovely breeze and opens to the terrace through oversized sash windows.

The home also offers a self-contained granny flat or nannys quarters. Located on the lower ground, it features a fully equipped kitchen. There is a spacious combined lounge /dining room and a separate queen sized bedroom with ensuite. The flat can be locked from the main house and has its own separate entry, also making it ideal for adult children still living at home or as accommodation for live in help.

A four car garage completes the facilities and offers excellent storage opportunities and the space to operate a business from home if required.

Located in a highly desirable enclave, the property is in close proximity to the CBD, 3 major hospitals, prestigious schools, and excellent transport and amenities.

This is a rare opportunity to make your own mark on an elegant home that affords exceptional space and privacy on a significant parcel of prime inner-city land.
