This very private home located at the top end of highly prized Bellata Street, bordering The Gap and Ashgrove, has been masterfully designed and renovated to create a highly functional home that will suit a diverse range of home seekers.
The minute you enter the home via the glassed-in entrance hall with slate tiles, you will feel you have been taken into another world, one that is private, secluded and blessed with nature’s beauty and creativity. The north-east facing home has walls of glass to provide endless light (from sun and moon) that has been ever so gently filtered by the native rainforest and gardens that surround it.
As if grown out of the bush itself, the framed-glass dining area emerges as a focal point with its wonderful garden setting; ideal for breakfast in the morning sun, family dinners or a lavish dinner party overlooking twinkling city lights to impress your friends.
The kitchen is cleverly designed providing both a high degree of functionality and separation from the main living areas. With its spacious polished black granite benchtops, gas stovetop, and Miele appliances, the kitchen is not only practical but simply stunning.
The large sunken lounge can be likened to the inside of a Cathedral with exposed brick and towering ceilings aloft cedar panelling. It’s very inviting, with its walls of glass, large north-east facing windows and slow burning fireplace. It’s a magnificent space to retire following a hearty meal, or after work, to rest, relax and totally unwind. It also serves as an excellent family room.
There are four generous sized bedrooms, all well separated. Three bedrooms are located on the main entry level, including the private guest room with its own ensuite. Ascend the beautiful amoora wooden staircase to discover the master bedroom set in the rainforest canopy, with perfectly framed amazing city skyline at night. This is truly a magnificent room to totally relax.
The home also comes with the bonus of a huge utility room located below the 2 car lock-up garage, with separate kitchenette, shower and toilet: an ideal set-up for your home business, art studio, or extra storage. As with the rest of the home, the space is extensively fitted out with high speed internet.
There is also a large north-east facing outdoor living area, surrounded by a native bush playground with surprises at every turn (for example, the Tawny Frogmouth Owl that has arrived every year for the past 11 years to nest and have its young in the large ironbark tree). It’s a paradise for inquisitive growing children who love to play and discover, and garden lovers alike.
Prestigious Bellata Street is very close to some of Brisbane’s finest private and public schools, is less than 5 minutes’ walk to The Gap Village shopping centre, and is under 7 kilometers to the CBD.
The home has been lovingly crafted and maintained by its present and past house-proud owners. It’s presented to a very high standard and is a home that will not disappoint. If the open for inspection times don’t suit you please call Jeff Smith on 0432 00 33 55 to arrange a more suitable time.
