8 Mackay Street, Coorparoo, Qld 4151

Nestled in the heart of leafy Coorparoo, this pretty-as-a-picture Queenslander stands very proudly on a prized and rare 969m2 parcel of inner-city land, offering an urban location second to none, mere walking distance from quality schools, shopping and transport amenities.

The renovation of this charming residence exhibits a strong regard and respect for the original home whilst creating an extremely liveable layout, optimizing space, light and lifestyle, and offering wonderful destinations for living and entertaining. 

Nostalgic features abound, with polished timber floors, VJ walls, soaring ceilings, decorative fretwork and lead light windows, offering timeless style blended with contemporary enhancements for ease of modern living.

Step into an elegant past as you enter through the pretty batwing doors and into the entry porch that features a stunning original door with lead light detailing. The home opens to a beautiful spacious formal living and dining space, crowned with soaring ceilings and bathed in natural light. Living flows to a second versatile room at the front of the home, separated by original bi-fold glass-paned doors. A spacious home office, a library, a playroom, an extended living space … so many options!

3 of the 5 bedrooms in the home are located off the main living space on this upper level, accessed via a private hall. The master bedroom, at the front of the home, features a walk-in robe, a double-basin ensuite and decorative lead light windows. The hall leads past attractive glass-doored linen storage to the spacious second and third bedrooms, both with built-in robes and both serviced by the adjacent family bathroom with bath.

Family dining, at the rear of the home, features custom banquet seating and centres around a pretty Provincial-style kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, stone bench tops, a walk-in pantry, a discreet appliance cupboard, and a convenient breakfast bar. More versatile storage can be found connected to the adjacent laundry.

This inviting meals area opens to the beautiful breezy rear deck, offering serene green views over the sparkling pool and the sprawling established gardens and lawns … a wonderful spot for breakfast or an evening soiree. Stairs lead down from this inviting deck to the exterior of the lower level of the home and the lower entertaining terrace. 

The expansive, fully-fenced back yard features lush lawns, a kitchen herb garden and a beautiful in-ground pool, surrounded by a lush privacy hedge. With such a large parcel of land, further options for extended family living are possible with room for a second dwelling, STCA.

The lower level of the home is also accessed by internal stairs near the entry of the home and features a large family living room, 2 more spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with bath, and a separate toilet. This versatile layout accommodates for a teenager’s retreat with separate entry, or extended family and guest quarters. This lower level living space opens to an entertaining terrace that overlooks the pool and beautiful gardens. So very private and inviting. 

This level also provides access to the double remote garage, handyman workspace and ample under-house storage.
