Dating back to the early 1900′s “Burilda” is a gracious as the historic meaning of its name, the black swan. Charming and elegant, this classic example of some of the finest early Australian architecture, sits perched privately on a prime 1000sqm plus corner block in one of Hendra’s finest streets.

It formed part of the original Hendra pineapple plantation at the turn of the century and was one of the area’s earliest and most remarkable homes forming part of this exclusive precinct near the iconic TC Beirne estate.

Enjoying a sundrenched North East disposition, the elevated block is shrouded with established trees, giving the illusion of not a neighbour in sight while providing an idyllic outlook from the much enjoyed back entertainer’s deck. Cooling breezes drift from Moreton Bay, while at night, the position allows sparkling glimpses of the city lights.

A generous kitchen conceals a built in laundry and merges with a clever floorplan of formal and informal dining and sitting rooms. A classic original brick working fireplace, is at the centre of this warm and inviting home shaping the aesthetics of this authentic period architecture, including the classic hallmarks of decorative ceilings, rich timber floors, picture rails and in some places, original light fixtures.

The home is of significant proportions four bedrooms upstairs in their own wing, including a beautifully renovated main bathroom and ensuite adjoining the master.

Downstairs is an exceptional layout of space, with two further bedrooms, an ensuite, a second kitchen and large living space as well as private outdoor lounge. There is undercover room for two cars as well as a substantial workshop or storage room.

The garden has been thoughtfully designed in keeping with the formal traditions of the homes, with clipped hedges and established trees. A delightful flat fenced rear garden provides the rarity of a large back playground for young children to enjoy in complete safety and privacy.
A choice of Brisbane’s finest primary and secondary schools are within minutes, while for busy executives, both the Brisbane domestic and international airports are within 10 minutes with the CBD less than 6km away.

This significant piece of Hendra history thought to originally be built as the family home for a prominent timber family, now presents what promises to provide a significant home of elegance and warmth, to be enjoyed by its new owners.
