If you thought owning a contemporary, renovated Queenslander in the inner northern suburbs was out of reach – think again. This smart, freshly renovated three bedroom plus study Queenslander on 407m² – located literally on the Ascot border – represents affordable yet prestigious living.

Featuring two levels of formal and informal spaces, the original Queenslander house has been entirely refurbished to a high standard by its current owners, subtly blending classic and contemporary styles to create an inviting and comfortable home for families with older children, young professionals or senior couples.

The home features all the modern conveniences anticipated from a prestige property including spacious contemporary kitchen, multiple entertaining spaces, sparkling modern lighting, split system air conditioning, roomy two car lock-up garage and ample storage space.

Elegantly decorated in soft sage green and crisp white, the upper level incorporates an open plan lounge-dining with decorative archways, picture rails and wide honey coloured pine floor boards, as well as a study and the master bedroom.

The master suite has a walk-in robe, plush cream carpet and split air conditioning, and access to a two-way bathroom.

On the lower level are two further bedrooms and a second bathroom, featuring roomy shower, bath tub plus the laundry and rumpus room which, along with the bedrooms, is finished in a warm beige carpet and features split system air conditioning.

The rumpus also has its own entrance at the side of the property, which makes it ideal for use as a home office. It’s also perfect for casual entertaining courtesy of a second pair of French doors opening out to an undercover patio area adjoining the back yard, or as a games and billiards room, which it’s currently used as.

Unlike some renovated Queenslanders, this home has been finished beautifully, with attention paid to detailing the most important rooms, particularly the kitchen.

The separate kitchen features generous bench space and quality Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliances including gas cook top and electric oven. Finished in mocha Caesar Stone bench tops, crisp white two-pack cabinetry and sleek white tiles around the entire bench space, with neutral almond walls and elegant, large mocha floor tiles, it’s the centerpiece of a home you can be proud of owning and entertaining in.

There are certainly plenty of options for entertaining – with a large, private deck accessible from the formal dining room on the upper level via glass timber sliding doors, which open fully to create seamless indoor-outdoor living.

For larger gatherings or children’s parties, there’s also the lush green lawn, framed by low maintenance shady gardens, creating a privacy shield between the home and neighbouring properties.

The leafy, north facing yard is fully fenced, with plenty of room for a pool. Thanks to a 3,200 litre water tank, it’s also easy to keep it looking verdant year round.

There are few renovated Queensland homes that measure up to this standard and even fewer that are affordable, yet this would have to be one of only a handful located in the prestigious Ascot precinct, close to some of Brisbane’s most renowned schools, finest dining and shopping and only 6km to the CBD.

There’s no doubt this home will be a popular with a wide range of buyers, so don’t delay your inspection.
