18 Ormond Street, Ascot QLD 4007

Valhalla is a grand Ascot Queenslander perfectly rejuvenated by award-winning architect Shaun Lockyer to offer the best of both worlds - rich traditional character blending with a raft of gorgeous contemporary elements. This 1,215sqm blue-chip tennis court property, featuring 789sqm of aspirational family living, has been expertly redesigned by Shaun Lockyer Architects with the credible touch of luxury residential construction firm Black Developments. Bordered by stately white timber batten fencing and established hedging, the original home has been renovated with all the modern practicalities and flows seamlessly out to a recently completed extension. A secure gatehouse leads beyond manicured lawn onto a wide verandah and into the exceptional heart of this double-storey residence. Soaring 3.5m-high ceilings, VJ walls, polished timber floors, decorative cornices, architraves and a stately fireplace beautifully frame vast living and dining areas filtering through to a glorious chef's kitchen complete with integrated appliances, bespoke cabinetry, a dining bar, wet bar and balcony access. Passing a large office with built-in desks is the master suite extension, with a dressing room and ensuite, overlooking the floodlit tennis court on one side and the mosaic-tiled swimming pool with spa on the other. The master suite is one of four bedrooms on this upper level, with a further two bedrooms below. Created to host guests in tremendous style is a ground floor layout featuring a sunken lounge with built-in seating overlooking the tennis court, and also brilliantly positioned adjacent to a fully-equipped bar. The nearby billiards room with a poolside aspect provides an entry point, via a wrought iron and glass door, to the most opulent 1,000 bottle wine cellars. The pleasure continues outdoors with a covered entertaining area, between the tennis court and the swimming pool with spa, which includes a sauna, powder room and fireplace. A board-form and off-form concrete aesthetic contrasting superbly with the sparkling midnight blue of the pool and deep greens of surrounding palms.
