Overview

Award-Winning Parkside Reinvention

This exceptional residence is a sophisticated transformation of a classic 1925 worker's cottage into a luxurious architectural home that blends layered luxury with low-maintenance living. The property has been thoughtfully reimagined and extended, offering 351 square meters of living space across three private levels. Elevated living areas are designed to maximize city views, natural light, cooling breezes, and a lush, private outlook, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.

The interiors are defined by a sense of volume and craftsmanship, featuring soaring 3.8-meter ceilings, artisan oak flooring, feature lighting, and bespoke cabinetry that highlight the home's meticulous detailing. The kitchen serves as a culinary centerpiece, equipped with stone finishes, a feature island bench, and premium appliances including a Falcon oven and ZipTap, catering to both everyday living and entertaining.

On the upper level, the master retreat offers a sanctuary of scale and tranquility. It boasts 3.2-meter ceilings, a private balcony, a generous walk-in robe, and a beautifully appointed ensuite with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a freestanding bath, designed to provide a calm and quiet escape. Additional amenities on this level include a powder room and a home office, offering flexibility for working from home.

The lower level features a private guest suite with its own walk-in robe and ensuite, while bedrooms two and three include built-in wardrobes and share a central family bathroom. A second lounge and balcony on this level provide additional living space or a retreat, enhancing the home's versatility for families.

Designed for Brisbane's subtropical lifestyle, the home seamlessly connects to outdoor areas, including a lush alfresco mezzanine bar and entertaining space. This area is equipped with two Vintec wine fridges, an integrated dishwasher, a hidden laundry, BBQ facilities, and clever pocket doors that conceal the bar when not in use. Vertical aluminium louvres offer complete privacy, ventilation, and shade, making this space ideal for year-round entertaining.
