A hand-picked location and an exquisite renovation combine to create a sophisticated and stunning family home. Making an old home fit into the modern, dynamic world of today takes large dashes of imagination, creativity and attention to detail. And the result – a superb example of making something old, sparkling new again. Everything was taken into consideration: the location, city glimpses, how the family would live and entertain, modern eco-friendly building codes, energy efficiency, supreme quality, privacy, separation and impact on the neighbourhood.

Blurring the relationship between indoors and outdoors has modernised originally traditional interiors. There’s a sense of continuity from front to back with locally made leadlight entry doors inviting you inside and Rosewood bi-fold doors extending living spaces to an expansive entertaining verandah. City views, a perfect northern aspect and leafy established surrounds make this the place to be for year-round living and entertaining.

Maintaining a visual connection between old and new was always top of mind. Original heritage features were matched with new items throughout the home for a consistent and harmonious blend of today and tomorrow. Continuing the premise that only the best will do, the kitchen is both elegant and a touch of perfection with top of the range European appliances, excellent functionality, aesthetics, lighting, storage and relationship to other rooms.

Separate living spaces flow to the outdoors on both levels, offering privacy and livability for all members of the family. Every bedroom is queen-size, quality abounds in the bathrooms that are fully tiled as well as having under floor heating and a large study/home office has its own separate entrance.

With the Toowong Station & Shopping Centre a short walk away, the city cat at the end of Sylvan Rd on Coronation Drive, UQ campus close by in St Lucia and the CBD almost on your doorstep, location doesn’t get better. A work of love, a refreshing new lease of life, a beautiful home to call your own.
