Thanks to its close proximity to the CBD, its leafy streets and its legacy of character homes, Chelmer has long been held as a most desirable address. This is especially so of the northerly precinct where multi-million dollar houses fill wide streets, and, though offering designs varying from the traditional to the contemporary, all are unified by an impressive sense of proportion, well-presented facades and carefully manicured gardens.

Number 82 blends in perfectly with these surrounds offering both a tidy landscaped frontage and a striking traditional 1920s exterior that combines all the classic features of an elegant Queenslander with a clean, modern colour scheme to ensure timeless appeal.

What’s more, situated on a flood free 941sqm, the property offers one of the largest parcels of land in the street, ensuring plenty of room for children to play and enjoy the existing pool and flat lawn area as well as creating the opportunity for adding further lifestyle amenities such as a veggie patch, playground or tree house in the future.

Stepping inside, a successful mix of old and new is apparent throughout, with the stunning formal lounge and dining rooms an elegant reminder of the original heritage and a fitting welcome to the home, while a more modern kitchen and casual living zone are located beyond for comfortable everyday living.

The formal and informal living spaces are connected seamlessly by an expansive Tasmanian Oak kitchen and generous deck, providing an excellent natural flow. The deck offers a perfect northerly aspect with private views from which to eat, relax, entertain and enjoy beautifully cool breezes in summer.

The home itself enjoys great natural ventilation all year round, with the addition of air-conditioning throughout for those really hot days.

The bedrooms are contained in a split-level design with three bedrooms and a study upstairs and an entirely self-contained, one bedroom studio below.

The main bedroom is once again a glorious mix of traditional and modern with an ensuite in keeping with the period style, a walk-in robe and direct access to an enclosed veranda via French doors.

The other two bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and share the family bathroom with its bath and plentiful natural light.

The self contained accommodation (accessed via an internal hardwood staircase) offers a fourth bedroom with walk-in, as well as a bathroom, kitchen, laundry and a charming lounge that has private entry and opens directly onto the backyard.

There is undercover parking for up to four vehicles and a huge amount of storage both internally (including cellar space) and under the house, where there is enough room to lock up a secondary laundry facility, sporting equipment, tools and a work area.

At just minutes to good schools, shops and transport, a short walk to local parks and the playground and only 7km to the CBD, this residence would be ideal for families as well as those looking to enjoy a beautifully maintained example of traditional Queensland architecture with all the modern trimmings already in place.
