Fabulous Character Home in the Heart of Paddington
You will fall in love with this extraordinary home, immaculately presented and located in the heart of Paddington.What was an unrenovated workers cottage has undergone a complete and thorough renovation, resulting in a spacious and stylish two level home with wonderful spaces to live and entertain, a sprawling backyard and swimming pool. It’s a rare opportunity in this blue chip location.
The original property dates to 1886 and it has been lovingly and painstakingly renovated, with enormous respect to its heritage. Where possible, original features have been retained or updated, adding to the rich sense of character.
The home has an easy and practical layout; the kitchen, living and dining area is on the ground floor and is a huge, light filled space with soaring ceilings. The kitchen has stone bench tops, a quality Falcon cooker and a versatile butler’s pantry offers an abundance of space for meal preparation and storage. A striking exposed brick fireplace has been restored to create an eye-catching feature that is a reminder of the home’s past and is also the perfect spot to lounge on a cool winter’s day. There is a family sized laundry and a full bathroom on this level.
Timber bi-fold doors connect the lounge and dining room with the enormous rear deck, where an integrated Beefeater BBQ and drinks fridge makes entertaining easy. From here you can admire views across the garden, flat lawn and to the swimming pool beyond – it’s a free-flowing layout that is coveted by families of all ages and is ideal for enjoying an indoor/outdoor Queensland lifestyle.
There are five bedrooms on the upper level. Four of the bedrooms have built-in cupboards and they share the main bathroom, which is beautifully appointed and has a timeless aesthetic in keeping with the rest of the home. The Master suite is positioned at the rear and it has a walk-in robe and ensuite with twin vanities. There is also a very handy study on this level and a comfortable lounge that opens onto another deck.
The property has secure car accommodation and ducted a/c throughout. It has been well positioned on the 594m2 block to create a very generously sized backyard and the gardens have been beautifully landscaped with Australian natives.
This is a chance to secure a traditionally beautiful and fully renovated character home in a fabulous location. It’s a short stroll to the shops and restaurants of Given Terrace and close to schools, bus stops and parks. You can walk to Suncorp Stadium and Caxton Street and it’s an easy trip into the CBD.
Do not miss this incredible opportunity.
