Classic Charm Combined with Contemporary Living

This gorgeous four-bedroom character home enjoys a lovely, elevated position on the Hawthorne border of Morningside. Spread across a 760m2 allotment, this two-level renovation delivers on space, offering generous proportions throughout every room of the house. Boasting elevated views from the front and a private inground pool at the rear, this property is unlike any other.

Spoiled with classic charm and paying respect to many of the traditional features of the era, this unique renovation combines past and present seamlessly. Offering eclectic nuances throughout both levels, there is a very Melbourne-vibe in the way the home presents and feels. Residents can escape for hours into the warmth of the upstairs library on a cold winter’s day. By offering access to the North facing balcony through dual French doors, buyers can expand their invitation list and welcome small get-togethers to watch the sun drop behind the city skyline.

Presenting an ideal space for a home office, this upstairs area remains private from the rear living areas and is complemented by an abundance of sunlight from the original bay windows. The master bedroom is also privately positioned and tucked away on this upstairs level, offering generous light, space, and an expansive walk-through robe into the lavish ensuite with a double vanity.

Masterfully engineered by Riddel Architecture, the front original house was raised and cleverly transformed to accommodate the rear extension via a central connection where the two worlds meet. Once buyers cross over, they are greeted with an expansive open space with soaring ceilings and designer window placements set high towards the roofline for natural northern light. Offering grand proportions for both lounge and dining experiences, the kitchen plays host to the indoor and outdoor spaces. This gourmet kitchen with an enormous breakfast bar compliments a stunning central hub where the family can come together for efficient morning preparations or memorable evening dining experiences. Incorporating space with modern design, the kitchen provides quality stainless steel appliances and offers an abundance of cupboard and storage space, with the convenience of a butler’s pantry and a 4th toilet.

Retractable bi-folding glass doors expose a large rear deck with an integrated BBQ area, opposite a comfortable outdoor lounge setting. Set amongst the rear tropical landscape with a stone wall feature is the sparking inground pool, ideally positioned for both aesthetics and the supervision of children from the indoors.

Downstairs is home to three enormously sized bedrooms, a media/multi-purpose room, a laundry room, and an extra bathroom with a separate shower and soaking tub. The clever floor plan suits the growing family and extended visitors by offering a guest bedroom (3rd bedroom) with a private ensuite and an exclusive outdoor garden terrace, perfect for a morning coffee or a quiet reading space.

This ideal showcase residence has been purposely built on a grand scale, inviting a combination of both cool and warm interior tones that compliment today’s modern living. Presenting new quality fixtures and fittings throughout both levels, key features include ducted air-conditioning, car accommodation for two cars, extra storage, and the possibility to transform the media room into a 5th bedroom with a separate office. This fully fenced exquisite property provides a fun, safe environment for children, pets, and its owners for years to come.

Surrounded by an abundance of lifestyle choices, the new homeowners will enjoy nearby cinemas, parks, restaurants, cafes, and some of Brisbane’s best and elite schools. Coupled with an easy commute to Brisbane’s CBD via train, bus or ferry, these combined elements make for an enviable lifestyle that can’t be ignored. Be sure not to miss your chance to secure today.
