A celebration of heritage elegance and modern design, this utterly resplendent home perfectly balances form with function. Perched on an elevated 810sqm allotment that looks out to mesmerising panoramic city views, this fully renovated 1900s Queenslander has been intelligently refreshed to offer the very best in Norman Park living. Set amongst attractive properties in a sought-after suburb, the four-bedroom residence has been expertly updated by renowned Brisbane interior designer Claire Stevens Interior Design. At its rear, a modern extension seamlessly transitions from the original home and provides a sophisticated setting for relaxing and entertaining. Featuring throughout are exquisite traditional touches like stained hardwood flooring, decorative breezeways, VJ walls, lofty ceilings and picture and chair rails. Giving the property phenomenal street appeal is a magnolia-lined and gated front garden, as well as a grand front verandah and a magnificent façade. A leadlight window-adorned front door opens out to a central hallway that allows natural light and refreshing breezes to flow throughout the abode. Stepping into the central living area, you will be left speechless by the extraordinary views revealed by a 'lift and slide' 16-millimetre stacked glass sliding door. Capturing a vista that spans across the entire city skyline, this immaculate combined area also overlooks the leafy suburb and nearby Wilson Park, which transforms into a purple-hued oasis during Jacaranda season. Complementing this scenic outlook, a beautifully crafted open-plan living and dining area feels wonderfully airy. Originally from Australia's cultural capital of Melbourne, the current owners are passionate about interior design and have ensured this main living area is both welcoming and impressive. Entertainers will also love the generous adjoining deck, which is framed by privacy shutters and serves as an unrivalled vantage point for watching the New Year's Eve and Riverfire fireworks. Steps away, a custom gourmet kitchen will be the envy of family and friends. Presented with marble benchtops and a large combined island counter and breakfast bar, this unparalleled culinary space also displays banks of bespoke matte walnut joinery and a glass splashback. A suite of top-of-the-line integrated appliances includes a Miele fridge and a knock-to-open dishwasher, plus a VZug cooktop and combination and steam ovens.
