Situated in one of Hawthorne's finest tree-lined streets, this extraordinary reimagination of large-format Queenslander presents the finest opportunity of its type ever seen in this exclusive postcode. From humble beginnings, the original c. 1911 cottage 'Lenore House' has been completely redesigned and rebuilt to an exceptionally high standard by award-winning Invilla Architects and Corella Construction. A recent finalist at the Housing Industry Awards, this home must be seen to be fully appreciated. The sprawling 930sqm parcel of blue chip land faces due East and with its 20.2 metre frontage, commands a striking street presence that is unapologetically bold but with an elegance that has long been craved but scarcely available in this very tightly held pocket. The grand entrance through the solid Rosewood door is only a hint at the extraordinary family residence that exists, with the soaring 6.4m voided entry framing the mature olive tree that sets the tone for the remainder of the home. Throughout the lower floor, 3.2 metre ceilings provide for incredible volume with extensive use of glass and polished concrete allowing for abundant light and breezes created by the perfect Easterly aspect. Curved venetian plaster walls and high quality timbers accentuate the unique quality that is prevalent wherever you look, with the layout maximising liveability with its perfect combination of open plan internal and external spaces. There is a perfect blend of open plan and separate, compartmentalised areas such as the oversized media room or the private, purpose built office immediately adjacent to the front door which includes custom office joinery for a genuine work-from-home experience. The main living spaces blur the lines of indoor and outdoor with the large kitchen offering abundant storage and bench space with a full suite of carefully selected integrated appliances from Miele and Siemens. The kitchen is effortlessly linked directly to the oversized triple side-by-side garage with the mud room, laundry and large gym all available through this wing. Furthermore, there is a beautifully finished climate-controlled wine cellar which includes ample feature racking as well as a 200 bottle dual-zone Vintec wine fridge. Overlooking the incredible rear lawn is a grand formal dining room which creates an ambient space for intimate dinner parties or could be converted into a perfect dedicated kids play room. The covered outdoor alfresco spaces seamlessly flow from the more informal living areas and create excellent visibility over the yard and pool regardless of where you are spending your time. There is a further outdoor kitchen and bar set up that allows for expansive poolside entertaining, no matter the season and also has a gorgeous aesthetic which includes Blackbutt ceiling cladding, feature brickwork and hanging vines. The extraordinary voided staircase is a true hallmark of the home and not only facilitates ample light through its riser-less design, presents yet another artful aesthetic which is unmistakably unique to this home. Upstairs continues with the 3.2 metre ceiling height but introduces beautiful European Oak flooring to create a sense of warmth and comfort on the bedroom level. Two separate 'wings' have been created to allow versatility in the usage of bedrooms, all of which are oversized and consist of either full size custom cabinetry or walk-in-wardrobes. Two of the bedrooms share a large bathroom which includes a bathtub, while the other two supplementary bedrooms occupy the only remaining part of the original cottage, which consists of a separate children's retreat, bathroom and balcony of approximately 8sqm. The journey to the parent's retreat is in itself, exceptional and reminiscent of a world-class luxury hotel, offering stunning views out to the North and East through full height voids and abundant glass across the sparkling pool below. The retreat itself consists of a main bedroom in excess of 32sqm as well as one of the most extraordinary walk-in-wardrobe and ensuites ever seen in Hawthorne.
