SERIOUS SELLERS RELOCATING TO THE USA, ABSOLUTELY WILL BE SOLD!
The quiet prestige of iconic Laurel Avenue forms the perfect riverside setting for the grace and splendour that is historic Rathdonnell – a majestic Queenslander that has been extensively renovated to offer executive living amidst classic surrounds. Immaculately maintained and preserved throughout, the majestic home combines sweeping proportions with all the elegance of yesteryear, to deliver grand period style in this very private locale.
Since the last time the property was brought to market, over $600,000 has been spent in a comprehensive renovation of the upstairs level including kitchen and dining, bathrooms and casual living areas as well as the gardens. This has resulted in a seamless transition between the old and new, with the meticulous addition perfectly complementing the original, right down to the corbels integrated into the kitchen island. The end result is a triumphant union of ornate pressed metal ceilings, wide timber floors (including original Crows Ash timber decking), art deco fittings and luxurious Juperana Persia granite bench tops. The interior is also now flooded with natural light thanks to the soaring 4.5m coffered ceilings in the new realigned floorplan that has been fitted with remote controlled louvre panels in the clerestory.
The custom designed kitchen has also been specified with care, combining all the modern practicality of European appliances and a walk-in pantry with traditionally profiled, soft-closing cabinetry positioned under slabs of that exquisite granite. Space for casual dining and in-built study desks surround the kitchen, while the alfresco entertainment deck is both positioned nearby for ease of service. For more formal affairs, the original, elegant formal lounge and dining rooms are located just across the hall.
The renovated master ensuite delivers a serious dose of luxury thanks to a free-standing tub and tiles backed in 24 carat gold leaf. The adjacent walk-in wardrobe has also undergone an overhaul and now features extensive cabinetry and spacious dimensions. A home office and a media room (both featuring in-built cabinetry), completes this level.
Downstairs, a further three bedrooms share two additional bathrooms with a great room and rumpus on hand for further everyday living options. The rumpus also flows out to a covered terrace with the garden and pool beyond, making it an ideal area for casual entertaining. An extensive use of sandstone has been utilised throughout the landscaping, bringing enduring style as well as polished unification to the entire design. There is ducted air, security measures, an irrigation system and the home has been wired for sound. It is also near St Peters College,Brisbane Boys College and St Aidans Girls School, the railway and shops.
Quiet and peaceful, majestic Rathdonnell is at one with its prestigious surrounds. A grand and imposing homestead of renowned beauty, its recent renovation only enhances its charm and liveability, delivering an immaculately presented residence that is perfectly equipped to deliver superior living well into the future.
