OSMOND Circa 1938
This luxury character home with stunning modern extension and lovely leafy outlook is set upon an idyllic north/south facing 779m2 block and has been thoughtfully renovated to exacting standards with works newly completed in December 2018. Proudly named Osmond, the original Tudor-style home was built in 1938 with its steeply pitched gabled roof of red terracotta tiles, decorative timbering and framework, red brick and stucco exterior, groupings of leaded windows and thick chimney reflecting the style’s most notable characteristics. While the front of the home retains its 1930s charm, the interiors offer the best of both worlds with its sensitively renovated original character features and breathtaking modern extension.

In the brand new open plan living rooms, the soaring 4.8m cathedral ceiling adds a grand sense of space and volumetric interest. The bright modern kitchen includes a large island bench with bar seating, stone benches, hidden tap, shaker cabinets lending a handcrafted feel, freestanding ILVE 900mm oven and induction cooktop, Miele appliances, Qasair rangehood, mosaic splashback, granite sinks, loads of storage, soft-close drawers and a butler’s pantry. Family mealtimes will be a delightful affair around the dining table with inbuilt bench seating with storage along the corner wall allowing for additional guests. Other standout features include curved walls and clerestory windows allowing natural light to pour into the space.

There is so much to love about this family home perfect for growing families. The house allows for separation but also for being together and has a lovely warmth about it aided by the internal French timber doors and ironbark timber floorboards. The cosy formal lounge in the original part of the home features leadlight windows and wood burning fireplace – the ideal spot for cold winter nights snuggled up with a mug of hot chocolate or a glass of wine. There’s also a sitting room or “everything room,” ideal for music practise, long conversations or quiet reading. Ascend the grand staircase with its classic timber balustrade to the upstairs master bedroom with romantic Juliette balcony – a lovely spot for reading and soaking up the sunlight in winter. Other bedrooms feature walk-in-robes and overlook the leafy treetops. Providing plenty of flexibility, the new downstairs master bedroom includes a stylish modern ensuite with Carrara marble tiles, shower niche and above counter basins with designer tapware. It connects to the large walk-in-wardrobe making getting ready a happy occasion all in itself.

Enjoy indoor/outdoor living on the new covered patio with feature ceiling fan overlooking the sparkling 9.5m modern salt water pool. You can also relax or play outside in the beautifully landscaped and irrigated gardens complete with a large and grassy level lawn perfect for a game of soccer or cricket with the kids. Other valuable features of this incredible home include plantation shutters throughout, large laundry room, laundry chute, lockable storage in the large garage, full air-conditioning with ducted and split systems throughout, full fly-screening, traditional hills hoist and 200+ bottle exposed brick wine cellar.

Located on a small, private and quiet section of the road in a diverse and tight-knit community, this magnificent home is just a short 180m walk to Ironside Primary School, 1.8km to UQ, 4.5km to the Brisbane CBD and close to St Peters Lutheran College, transport and golf courses.
