One of the most impressive homes along the tree-lined Abbott Street, this gorgeous three bedroom cottage has been meticulously renovated with original features restored and modern finishes artfully incorporated. The original circa 1890s cottage has been intelligently extended via a transitional two storey void which provides a spatial link between the old and the new, taking full advantage of the north-easterly breezes through and through. Two formal sitting rooms flanked either side of the hallway provides a warm welcome into this impressive two-level home, incorporating classic Queenslander features such as VJ panels, dark stained timber floors, ornate door architraves and a period fireplace. All three bedrooms are of generous proportions, with the master suite separately zoned for the most discerning family to enjoy. Off the master bedroom is a Juliette balcony overlooking the lap pool and mature palms, whilst the ensuite is equipped with a dual vanity, spa bath and bifold windows for the ultimate parents' sanctuary. The main hub of the home is found at ground level where you have access to the spacious kitchen, dining and sun-drenched patio. Bi-fold doors to the patio create a continuous, free flowing space to ensure a multitude of entertaining or relaxing options are possible. Equipped with a gas fireplace, the exteriors can be enjoyed all year round. Natural travertine floors perfectly juxtapose the original timber flooring on the upper level, to create a harmonious blend between the past and present. The gourmet kitchen is an absolute stunner, fitted with high quality European appliances, a butlers' pantry and oversized breakfast bar. A true chef's delight! The crown jewel of the home has to be the infinity lap pool and entertainer's courtyard, privately surrounded by lush gardens to ensure neighbours remain out of sight. The home features all the perks of contemporary living including security cameras, air-conditioning and fan, Japanese toilets and an automated gate and garage door system. Enhanced by the lifestyle position and street appeal, and within walking distance to New Farm's best eateries and coffee shops, this is truly an exceptional house offering.
