From its humble beginnings as a traditional cottage, 51 Abbott Street has been extensively modified by Trebilcock & Associates Architects to suit a contemporary family lifestyle. Renovated by Chris Raggett Constructions, the house won the HIA award for Queensland Renovation/Addition of the year in 2008. With new work throughout to both the upstairs and downstairs areas, interior design support was provided by Mary Durak creating a whole new look.

The main informal living area is a generous space which flows out onto a deck taking advantage of the optimal North East aspect and Queensland indoor/outdoor liveability. This deck relates to the backyard and pool area and has a fully integrated barbecue which connects directly to the kitchen.

The beautifully appointed kitchen with Italian marble surfaces is adjoined by a scullery and cold room area which allows for ease of preparation for both day to day family living and special gatherings.

The house has the capacity for formal dining and entertaining with richly decorated spaces including panelled walls, decorative ceilings and a bespoke fireplace as a central feature to the sitting room. Entertained guests also have access to a centrally placed powder room.

Located off the formal areas to provide privacy from the main living areas, the master suite consists of an extensive Walk in Robe and Ensuite. The Ensuite is immaculately finished with marble tiles and features two vanities, a free standing bath and screened toilet and shower areas.

There are additional entertainment areas to the lower floor including a games room and media room. This opens onto a lower terrace area ideal for table tennis and other activities, with separate access to the pool and garden. A cellar is ideally placed off the stairwell for ease of access during entertaining. The guest room downstairs is independent to the main household with a nearby bathroom, and quiet study/office areas.

The garage contains ample storage and room for two cars, or three small cars. A large laundry has access to the service courtyard alongside the house. The services to the house have been well concealed and include a 23,000L water tank, pool equipment, air conditioning and garden storage.

Privately nestled amongst formal gardens the house flows out to wide verandahs capturing the North East aspect whilst overlooking the large tiled in-ground pool. Positioned on a large allotment in the heart of vibrant Ascot, this is a landmark property. Your family deserves this exceptional lifestyle.
