Auction Location: On-Site. Originally constructed in the 1890s, this historic Queenslander home on an 810m2 double block beautifully represents the re-envisioning of a bygone era. Updated in a contemporary, sustainable style for modern family living whilst retaining a traditional period look and feel, the authentic character charm of this stunning nineteenth century residence is impossible to overlook. Displaying organic heritage appeal, the welcoming front façade is detailed by an elegant timber balustrade, flowing green lawn and classic ornamental fretwork. Beyond, a modernised open floor plan presents a spacious indoor/outdoor design, coming together over polished red eucalypt floorboards, bi-fold oak doors and timeless VJ walls. At the heart is a stylishly updated kitchen, offering the home chef sleek stone benchtops, an integrated breakfast bar and delightful servery window. Making use of the generous allotment, the north-facing outdoor pavilion caters effortlessly to home functions and entertainment. A tiled expanse invites alfresco dining on a moment's notice, while a solar heating in-ground swimming pool and sizeable grassy area act as the perfect addition for children and pets to play. Completing the lower level are two bedrooms, a dedicated laundry and family-size bathroom. Reserved as a comfortable living retreat, the upper level hosts a further three bedrooms including the well-appointed master, furnished with a deluxe ensuite and walk-in robe. Meanwhile, bedrooms two and three feature direct verandah access, offering a peaceful escape to relax and unwind. This charming spot overlooks the surrounding suburb, while a second full-size entertaining deck on the opposite side captures tranquil green views, beautifully framing the original 'Queensland nut tree', a macadamia dating back to the original settlement, tastefully bringing Bulimba's past into the present. Further highlights include a sustainable environmental build, withholding from any wild rainforest products such as rosewood or mahogany; original pine floorboards remain underneath the mixed eucalypt upstairs, providing sound proofing between levels; internal data wiring supporting future C-BUS installation; full I-R alarm system; 6.5kW solar system; two separate broadband cable entries; vast amount of additional storage and bore water capabilities. Metres from Oxford Street and a plethora of local cafés and restaurants, this enviable address will provide a number of weekend adventures, as well as falling within easy reach of Bulimba and Hawthorne ferry terminals, local parks and sporting clubs, and finally various nearby schools including Bulimba State School, Saints Peter and Paul's, Lourdes Hill, Churchie and many more. Tastefully renovated to capture the heart and soul of a federation-style home, all the while catering to the modern family, this historic Queenslander residence is simply outstanding.
