Description

An extraordinary opportunity to own a revered slice of history has arrived with this exceptionally restored 150-year-old Colonial Queenslander. This former vice-regal property, once gracing the grounds of Old Government House at Gardens Point and the current Government House at Paddington, now proudly stands on a meticulously manicured 1,707m2 block offering the quintessential luxury "homestead in the city" lifestyle.

The residence boasts original windows, door joinery, and Neo-Roman roofing profiles, seamlessly integrated with polished floors, 3.8m ceilings, ornate fireplaces, classic arches, and intricate fretwork. Serving as the heart and soul of the home a light-filled gourmet kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry, Zip Tap, Insinkerator, and SMEG oven. The carefully considered floorplan places this kitchen at the centre of activity, allowing easy observation of the main living and dining areas, study nook, pool, backyard, and deck.

For moments of quiet reprieve, retreat to the formal sitting room, originally the Governor's office, featuring a coal fireplace, ceiling-height shelves, and a bay window with a built-in bench seat and bookshelves. The entire property is adorned with Anna Spiro curtains, adding a touch of sophistication and charm.

Five bedrooms are distributed across three distinct zones, with four opening onto the sprawling verandah via French doors, amplifying the feeling of "Queenslander" comfort. The front two bedrooms share an adjoining study/rumpus room and bathroom. The master suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring a spacious dressing room and a sleek white ensuite adorned with mosaic-style tiling. Two additional bedrooms are strategically placed in a secluded wing, served by a full bathroom, designed to accommodate family living or guests.

Outside, immerse yourself in a blissful botanic oasis. The lush side lawn is perfect for impromptu games or grand celebrations, while the back deck, equipped with a built-in BBQ, integrated bar fridge, and sash window to the kitchen, is ideal for entertaining. Enjoy the glistening pool with a waterfall feature or explore the dedicated children's playground area, complete with a cubby house, sandpit, monkey bars and swings.

The property is equipped with a Holman irrigation system with app access, ensuring efficient garden maintenance. Security features include a monitored system, home CCTV cameras, sensor lights, and iron electric gates with a pedestrian gate featuring intercom and camera access.
