Proudly commanding a rare 810m2 block in one of inner Brisbane's most desirable lifestyle pockets, this beautiful home offers the ultimate in spacious and comfortable family living, just moments from cafes, boutiques and public transport. An architect-designed renovation has delivered a stylish dwelling that perfectly blends timeless character appeal with the conveniences of modern living. The entry unfolds to reveal an expansive and welcoming kitchen, lounge and dining room with soaring raked ceilings, beautiful hardwood timber flooring and a cosy gas fireplace. Impressive in scale, this really is the heart of the home, a place to gather that feels immediately warm and inviting. Strategically positioned glazing captures natural light while maintaining complete privacy and timber framed sliders allow a seamless connection with the expansive north facing deck, blurring the line between inside and out. Perfect any hour of the day, from a morning coffee to an evening meal with friends, the deck is a true outdoor room that has effortlessly hosted memorable gatherings large and small. The garden and level lawn offers ample space for backyard cricket, then cool off in the generously sized swimming pool - it's a private haven, to be enjoyed by family members of all ages. Keen cooks will appreciate the well-appointed kitchen, which has an abundance of storage and quality appliances including double ovens and an induction cook top, while a custom-designed, concrete island bench is both striking and enormously practical. Facing the garden, it provides an ideal vantage point to keep an eye on children at play while preparing meals, or simply enjoy the leafy outlook. On the lower level, polished concrete flooring adds a contemporary aesthetic that's also pleasantly cool in Brisbane's warmer months. This level offers excellent flexibility - a bedroom is ideal for guests or older children and there's also a bathroom and laundry serviced by a chute. A spacious rumpus offers great separation from the main living areas and opens directly onto the lush lawn, creating easy indoor/outdoor flow and a popular teen retreat. The upper level showcases original character features; VJ walls and stunning stained glass windows. An open study with integrated desks creates an ideal homework zone, while four additional bedrooms and a clever layout ensures plenty of room for growing families. Privately positioned in its own wing, the Master retreat has a walk-in robe, stylish ensuite and a dedicated study. The other three bedrooms all have built-in cupboards and they share the family bathroom. There is air-conditioning throughout, an 8kw solar system, beautifully landscaped gardens with an irrigation system, loads of storage, a double lock up garage and room for more vehicles to park off street. The location is excellent, just moments from vibrant Latrobe Terrace. Stroll to coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, bus stops and Paddington Central. There are numerous schools within easy reach, walk to Suncorp Stadium and it's an easy commute to the CBD. This is a home that perfectly caters for the way people live. While undeniably spacious, it is also wonderfully connected, with inviting spaces to enjoy quiet relaxation or entertain and create lasting memories. Occupying a level and 100% usable block in an enviable location, it presents an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the very best of inner Brisbane living.
