When this house was built it was clearly intended to be one of Hendra’s prestigious estates offering a commanding position on an elevated ridge capturing Brisbane’s famous bay breezes. The legacy of this timeless masterpiece, lovingly maintained over the years, is this impressive stately family residence that stands at 17 Burilda Street.
“Oronsay” like its namesake luxury ocean liner is a testimony to a never to be repeated era where quality craftsmanship and the best of building materials prevailed. Expertly and sensitively renovated in 1997 (the renovation won a master builders award) the home offers the contemporary living spaces for today’s lifestyle whilst retaining its original rustic charm. Soaring pressed metal ceilings, VJ walls, rich polished timber floors, working fireplaces and deep shady verandahs are a hallmark of this historic residence. The potential to further add value and modernise is readily identifiable.
Set on a private sprawling mature garden (over 4 lots) with an impressive variety of native and exotic tree species, the estate offers your family a park like yard to run free in. Alternatively an owner might consider the potential benefit of developing or selling the spare 405m2 lot (subject to council approval) to take advantage of the strong vacant land demand that exists in Hendra yet still providing a larger than average allotment. This property is in a priceless position offering endless possibilities.
“Oronsay” has served its owner of over 25years well and retirement necessitates downsizing.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an historic estate with enormous opportunities in a blue chip location.
Market savvy owner accepts current market conditions and is realistic in pricing expectations now or at auction. It must be sold!
