20 Abbott Street, New Farm, Qld 4005

With a highly appealing 1890 Queenslander façade in tree-lined Abbott Street, and thoughtfully reimagined interiors, this prestigious residence on a 405sqm allotment captures the essence of New Farm living. Original features have been retained and lovingly restored in this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, while the architectural conversion has successfully integrated modern convenience and luxury. The result is a light-filled, elegant and sophisticated home that exudes creativity, warmth and a sense of retreat.

The two formal sitting rooms either side of a dark-stained timber entrance hallway provide a generous welcome to this impressive dual-level home. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, an original fireplace, ornate fretwork, high ceilings and VJ walls give a sense of place and history to these rooms. A transitional dual-level glass void successfully integrates this traditional section of the house with the modern extension to the rear.

Also upstairs are the three generously-proportioned bedrooms, including a separately zoned master bedroom with a Juliet-style balcony, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities and generous spa bath, complete with romantic city views.

Flooded with natural northern light, the ground floor of the extension serves as the heart of this stylish home. The chef's kitchen, with imported Thassos white marble benchtops, has a waterfall-edged island counter, European appliances and a butler's pantry, which has abundant drawer and cupboard storage. The kitchen overlooks the open-plan living and dining areas – an area that invites the outdoors in, with sliding glass doors and windows gracing the perimetre of the space.

Seamless indoor/outdoor integration is achieved to make the most of the warm Queensland climate and north-easterly breezes throughout, complemented by fully ducted air-conditioning. The natural travertine floors extend into the courtyard, where fully-integrated banquette seating creates an expansive and stylish entertaining space. This area is completed by the sparkling magnesium mineral swimming pool, established landscaping and a lawn area that is  perfect for pets and children.

Other features include a single car garage, gated entry, an expansive storage/home gym or studio space, convenient laundry, fully-integrated alarm security system, ground-level powder room for guests and ceiling fans.
