An iconic heritage landmark visible across the Paddington skyline, this c.1887 Victorian homestead has been lovingly reinstated into an estate of resplendent beauty with sweeping panoramas of the city skyline, Suncorp Stadium and suburban landscape. Steeped in history and gracing an exclusive 853sqm hilltop parcel, there is truly nothing like this in Paddington and very few properties of this calibre in Brisbane. Paying homage to the past and infused with the essence of a magnificent family home, the remarkable transformation is sympathetic to the original timber terrace house footprint and meticulously curated with period elements sourced from the late 19th century. The eight original fireplaces stand as architectural focal points, beautifully complemented by hand-laid parquetry flooring, hand-made French doors, 1887 William Morris wallpaper, Swarovski chandeliers, tessellated tiles, and intricate ceiling roses and mouldings. Designed as a place to gather and entertain amongst the showstopping views, the Victorian kitchen and stately living spaces unfold to an expansive deck through stacking glass doors. Marvelling at the majestic Brisbane backdrop, this indoor/outdoor haven provides the perfect vantage point to watch the lights shine and the city come alive during Riverfire. Family and friends can gather outdoors by the swimming pool, patio and backyard or enjoy relaxing moments in the hidden attic, which boasts a cigar lounge/library, a living retreat and a concealed bar adorned with original hoop pine floors and Dorma windows. Three opulent bathrooms, with an additional three WC's, service the home office and six bedrooms. Two bedrooms are downstairs in a private dual living wing, and the master suite provides a sanctuary of serenity with a luxurious dressing room and inspired ensuite featuring an original 1915 clawfoot bath. Residing in a premier Paddington position, this significant address features renowned shopping, dining and entertainment at your fingertips. Close to cafes, restaurants and transport, moments from prestigious schools, and 2.5km from the CBD, this heritage homestead presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Brisbane.
