Architect-designed, this home displays a touch of Federation with a round window over the door reflecting the approaching Art Deco period. It is a pleasant and fitting addition to the beautiful Queenslanders which still remain in the street.

Lit by the round window, the entrance is a towering void graced by the slanting planes of the stairs rising to the living area.

The house has a desirable northerly aspect, but here, south-easterly breezes flow unrestrained over the rear balconies and through the open areas of the house. There are four spacious air-conditioned bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor, including the lower rumpus level. Each upper level has a generous balcony and the big family rumpus room on the ground level opens to a covered terrace leading to the garden beyond. The neat, compact appearance of the house belies the surprising size and space within.

If required, the large rumpus/billiard room with kitchenette and bathroom could be easily converted to a granny flat or petitioned to provide one or two more bedrooms.

Quality is immediately evident in the genuine hardwood floors; the super-strong reinforced block construction, including a suspended concrete floor; and the wonderful spaces ideal for entertaining or just being home to a large and active family. European appliances and solid granite bench-tops are excellent for enthusiastic cooks and there are plenty of bathrooms for the larger family.

In addition to these wonderful aids for a happy lifestyle, the position is superb. In an elevated street which still boasts a sprinkling of grand old Queenslanders set in gracious gardens and behind picturesque white fences, it is less than 7 kilometres to the city.

Surrounding amenities include pre-schools, primary schools, private and public high schools, including the Toowong Academy for Mathmatics and Sciences, Ambrose Treacy, Brisbane Boys’ College, St Peters College, Indooroopilly High School and Primary School, Brigidine College, as well as easy access to CBD and University. Indooroopilly Shoppingtown is within walking distance (about 500 metres) but, with a bus available less than 100 metres away, it is so easy to be dropped right at the Centre.
