No stone has been left unturned in this fully refurbished Queenslander. Unlike many “renovated” properties, this isn’t a coat of paint and a few new lights for a quick profit, the current owners have lived here since 2000. Completely rewired, reroofed with new exterior cladding the property has been loving restored to maximise usability and comfort.

The most immediate impression from the entry is light and space. Elevated ceilings, oversize windows and timber floors epitomise the modern take on a traditional design. Separated dining and large living areas lead to a kitchen finished with composite benchtops, soft close drawers and the highest quality appliances.

Two of the three bedrooms are upstairs. The master features integrated wardrobes and the second a Juliet balcony. A large bathroom has been designed with built in bath, double shower heads and custom cabinetry. An oversize third bedroom and bathroom below make a perfect teenagers retreat or home office.

The low maintenance but mature tropical garden completes an inner city residence that has to be one of the most complete packages we have seen. An inspection is necessary to appreciate 22 Balfe Street.
