This superb and beautifully presented home represents a rare opportunity to buy into an increasingly desirable enclave of Woolloongabba. Located just 2.6 km from Brisbane’s CBD, this family home and private garden successfully fuses the traditional Queensland character with contemporary styling.
On 607m2, this renovated Queenslander has been adapted and re-purposed for functional modern-day living. Merging traditional features such as high ceilings, polished timber floors, VJ walls and plantation shutters, with a contemporary steel and glass addition defines the home as a unique expression of traditional charm and modern convenience. European appliances, a large light-drenched bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate studio / retreat adjacent to the rear timber deck add to the versatility and liveability of the home. The use of commercial grade bifold doors, has also created an expansive indoor outdoor living space.
This is an absolutely prime location and elite real estate; in 2018 only two other residential properties have sold in Woolloongabba with a land size greater than 600m2.
