147 Lynne Grove Avenue, Corinda, Qld 4075

Step into a nostalgic setting, reminiscent of the charm and beauty of days gone by. This Grand old Victorian lady has stood the test of time for over 140 years and undergone many changes and loving renovations. The extensive grounds, sensitively landscaped, are reminiscent of an English country garden, beckoning one onto the lawn for tea.

Architecturally imposing, the historical residence exemplifies the fine proportions and workmanship of its era and is surrounded by a generous 3,121 sqm allotment, encompassing three titles.  The living accommodation is stylishly presented with light-filled rooms and high ceilings.  

Whilst recent renovations have been designed to provide the comforts of modern living, the beautiful period character has been retained, making this home a warm and gracious space.  From the beautiful 45-degree pitches and gables of the roof to the rare crow's ash and wide polished pine flooring, the intricate breezeways, and generous hallways, this home is a joy.

Six generous bedrooms, a garden room with art deco styled ensuite, five fireplaces (and option to open the 6th), triple car accommodation, electronic gated driveway, generous pool complete with lawned area, pool house and granite chequerboard marble paving, sandstone walls, paved pathways, sweeping stairs, arbours, children's play area, and an extensive kitchen garden, incorporating fruit and nut trees are just some of the features of this beautiful home.

The new kitchen boasts a range cooker, butler's sink and stone benchtops, and includes carefully curated freestanding antique units as part of its footprint.  The adjoining meals area, family room, and expansive butler's pantry feature beautiful botanical wallpaper, that both marry and reflect the proximity and relationship to the sweeping gardens viewed through the deeply silled and extensive windows.  

Entry is via the commanding original front door, framed by glass panels, leading to the wide, high-ceilinged hall, which in turn leads to the formal dining room and Library.  A staircase tucked cunningly to the right leads to the attic.

Be enraptured by the magnificent fountain, circa 1800's. rehomed from another grand old mansion in Mosman, Sydney.  Marvel at the exquisite vintage crystal chandeliers suspended from the 200-year-old, heritage-listed fig trees. Enjoy a gin and tonic on the veranda whilst watching the sun go down or pick a salad for dinner from the kitchen garden.

The Provenance of this home is indisputable. 'Lynne Grove House' is firmly entrenched in the fabric of the local area, as well as being of great historical significance to both Brisbane and greater Queensland.  Over the years there has been much interest from local historians and family history groups, and the love the community has for this home is obvious, her soul is what sets her apart.  We often say, "If only the walls could talk".

The current vendors have made enormous strides to revitalise both the dwelling and the gardens. However, there is scope for the new owner to make further improvements and put their own personal stamp on this remarkable property. With its multiple living areas, it is perfectly designed for dual occupancy or extended family accommodation.
