A 1901 residence with Brisbane River views is for sale.
The design of this landmark residence was inspired by a 1920s trip to India, but has been beautifully adapted for modern family life. The property is 1,026sqm and has double-street frontage. The home boasts sweeping views of the Brisbane River, and the top-floor observatory enjoys wonderful, 360-degree views.
A gourmet kitchen has spacious bench tops and every modern convenience, and overlooks the pool and outdoor barbeque area. Sleek finishes in the kitchen contrast with antiques and chandeliers. Many other original features grace the home, including high ceilings and large rooms, leadlight windows, timber fireplaces, pressed metal panels, and plaster moldings.
The home has four bedroom and three bathrooms. The master bedroom is vast, and includes an ensuite and dressing room.
The downstairs level includes a kitchenette, bathroom and sleeping area, and could be used as a teen retreat or to accommodate extended family.
The home is only a few kilometers from Brisbane's CBD, and the popular Racecourse Road and Portside entertainment areas are also nearby. Good schools and public transport are also easily accessed from the property.
Inspections are by appointment only.
