Relishing the convenience of its prestige setting, this one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece epitomises timeless sophistication, blending luxurious high-end appointments with an ingenious dual layout. 

Exceedingly private, the divine 1940s property is positioned behind security fencing and flourishing green hedges, with a towering timber bridge perched high above the home's tropical courtyard oasis. 

Accessed via the modernised heritage facade, the ambient living/dining zone embraces its open configuration, revealing soaring ceilings, timber beams and European oak floors, while the sun-kissed front balcony gazes to an array of dancing palms creating a perfect atmosphere for entertainment.

A testament to culinary excellence, the designer kitchen encourages interactive meal prep with its prominent central island, incorporating premium Taj Mahal Quartzite benchtops and soft-close custom cabinetry. 

A range of 900mm Bosch appliances complete this gourmet space, complementing the integrated fridge-freezer and stylish Franke sink, leading you to the bespoke butler's pantry housing a vintec wine fridge and an additional oversized Franke sink. 

The upper level sets the stage for a restful night's sleep, boasting a marvelous master retreat with sumptuous plush carpet and floor-to-ceiling robes, while the deluxe rainfall ensuite wouldn't be out of place in a boutique hotel with its opulent travertine tiles and American walnut dual vanity with additional overhead storage. 

A second bedroom resides nearby with graceful VJ walls and original casement windows, serviced by a contemporary main bathroom with an oversized walk-in shower. 

Continuing the sanctuary vibes, the lower level centres around the distinguished second living space with its polished concrete floors, while the adjoining patio is fully covered to ensure effortless entertaining. 

Completing the picture, two further bedrooms share the meticulous family bathroom with its freestanding bath and full-height feature tiles, benefiting from access to the tranquil front yard which is secured by a delightful stone wall that dates back to 1896. 

Multiple split-system air conditioners unite with ceiling fans to optimise comfort levels, while notable extras include a discrete European laundry/kitchenette, a secure carport with roller access, additional off-street parking, chic plantation shutters and intercom entry. 

Capitalising on its celebrated position in one of Brisbane's most iconic suburbs, this exquisite home is located within a 12-minute stroll of majestic New Farm Park, with its blooming jacaranda trees, popular Powerhouse and magnificent river walk. 

It's just a short walk from boutique shops, popular cafes, artisan coffee shops and cosmopolitan bars, plus close to Fortitude Valley Station, express city buses and several ferry terminals to enhance connectivity.
