This is an opportunity to purchase a part of Brisbane’s history – magnificent Kaieta House, a grand Queenslander that is the centrepiece of the luxurious development, ‘Oakman Residences’.
The property was originally built in the late 1800’s and it has been painstakingly restored and modernised to create a stunning home, which beautifully combines heritage grandeur with contemporary style.
Exceptionally deep verandahs surround the home, providing wonderful spaces to relax and catch the breeze. A checkerboard tiled foyer makes an impressive entry and timber stairs lead to the upper level, where original features, like exposed brick have been maintained, providing a tactile link to the home’s past.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living room is an extraordinary space of superb scale and soaring ceilings only add to its stateliness. French doors open onto the wrap around verandahs, creating an effortless indoor/outdoor connection – the ideal setting for relaxed living or large scale gatherings. The kitchen is a modern delight, with stylish stone benchtops, quality appliances including double Bosch ovens and gas cooktop, an integrated fridge and walk-in pantry. A dedicated bar area with drinks fridges is perfect when entertaining friends and family.
A separate lounge room is a versatile, multi-purpose space – it could be an elegant sitting area, formal dining room or media room.
The home has five bedrooms in total; there are two bedrooms on the entry level and both have ensuite bathrooms and built in cupboards. There are three bedrooms on the main living level including the superb Master suite. This oversized parent’s retreat opens onto the verandah and features a large walk-in robe and huge ensuite with twin vanities, double showers and an indulgent freestanding bath, which captures views across the treetops.
The other two rooms share the main bathroom and there is a powder room for guests. The laundry is also on this level and it opens onto the yard and drying area. All bathrooms throughout the home have been meticulously finished and boast quality tiles and high-end fixtures.
The home has air-conditioning throughout and there is secure parking for four vehicles.
Oakman Residences is a stunning boutique development that meets the demand for high end, low maintenance living. Residents have access to stunning, resort style facilities including an infinity edge pool, outdoor dining zone and fire pit. The development offers 24 luxurious properties - a combination of executive town homes and full-floor apartments. It feels like an exclusive community, with architecturally designed streetscapes featuring cobblestone pavers and landscaped gardens.

‘Wandin’ is a remarkable home with a long architectural history. Built around 1916, this Queenslander’s original owner chose the premium options available during its construction, including distinct designs of pressed metal to accentuate the high ceilings, ebony door handles commissioned and imported from England, lead light windows and doors, VJ’s, and a wide wraparound verandah.
Only 18 months ago, the current owners lovingly completed an extensive renovation of the entire residence, taking into consideration some of the original decorative features while tastefully transforming ‘Wandin’ to a modern, technologically smart home of grand proportions.
