Tucked away in a private cul-de-sac on exclusive Hamilton Hill, this modern, three-level home with breathtaking mountain vistas simply inspires a carefree lifestyle, offering multiple living spaces and entertainment options for families of all ages.
Exciting spaces for children to play – quiet spots for parents to retreat
Featuring a full size tennis court with lights and Balinese viewing pavilion, private resort-style pool , gymnasium with treadmill and Foxtel, and an amazing sound-proof home theatre and games room with full-length bar and sound system – this remarkable property is more like a Club Med resort.
With four distinct living areas, five bedrooms, two decks and three bathrooms plus a powder room spread over three levels, this is a unique property allowing families to relax and have fun at home, entertain just a few friends or throw parties for up to 200 guests.
All importantly, with the children engaged in any of the wonderful activities on offer, there are plenty of discreet places for adults to seek solace and rest. There couldn’t be a more perfect house for families with young children or teenagers. Indeed, the home currently accommodates a family of eight.
Plenty of room to live -and grow with your family
While the home has been lovingly renovated, the opportunity exists to extend and modernize its façade in the future, creating a commanding, contemporary residence. Included in the sale are architect’s plans to extend the main living area out to the edge of the tennis court and lengthen the balcony off the main bedroom.
As is, the home is already of massive proportions. Entry is via the lower level, which contains the enormous games rooms, home theatre, gym, large workshop and storage area, plus parking for up to six vehicles.
Stunning glossy hardwood floors adorn the middle level, which features a modern timber kitchen adjoining an open-plan dining room and light-filled family living space, giving access to the private bathing courtyard.
This space has been designed for flexible configuration, with the ability to accommodate a massive dining table or lounge suite next to the in-built fire place, while maintaining a space large enough for a meals table and large couch in the adjacent area.
The kitchen features large work spaces, walk-in pantry, convection cook top, black granite bench tops and glowing timber cabinetry, allowing for the preparation of home-cooked family meals or catering for sophisticated dinner parties.
Opposite the main living is another spacious room, currently being used as the library but also ideal as a formal lounge or dining. This bright and airy room opens out onto a large deck overlooking a panorama of Brisbane’s western suburbs, taking in Mount Coot-tha and the Western ranges.
This level also has a powder room and laundry, study or sixth bedroom, and provides access to the sparkling pool surrounded by smart grass, so you’ll never need to mow.
Privacy and a focus on family life
The home’s design assures both privacy and breathing space for family members, with the upper level incorporating a secluded TV/family room as the hub from which the master suite and four other bedrooms radiate out.
All bedrooms contain built-in wardrobes, while the master has an ensuite with ample built-in storage and a private deck offering the same stunning suburban vista as the main living level.
The recent restoration has seen the home freshly painted in a neutral colour scheme, sparkling down lighting installed and brand new charcoal carpets laid in the bedrooms.
A blue chip location – a stone’s throw from excellent schools
The property is in close proximity to the lifestyle amenities that make its blue chip position so sought after – the CBD, domestic and international airports, and some of Brisbane’s finest schools, shopping and dining precincts.
Most importantly, it is in a wonderful location for families with young children, being within in the coveted Ascot State School catchment and just a short walk to the school from the front door, as well as just a 10 minute walk to St Agatha’s Primary. It is also close to some of Brisbane’s most regarded private Schools including St Rita’s, Clayfield College and St Margaret’s, which is also an easy walk from the property.
A short drive will take you to a range of shopping complexes including Clayfield Markets, Lutwyche and Toombul Shopping Centres and the discount haven of DFO.
Of course, you’ll never be short of things to do, with Portside Hamilton and Racecourse Road only a few minute’s drive from the home, easy access to the city via the Inner City Bypass and Brisbane Airport only 4km away.
The future holds many more exciting things for this area, with the Albion Mill development aiming to provide a similar experience to James Street and Portside Hamilton.
Families seeking a blue chip investment combined with a functional and comfortable home will be hard pressed to find another property that measures up as well as Lynell Street on every count.
