History:
Steeped in history and built in 1892 this original Queenslander once situated on the corner of Wynnum Esplanade and Chestnut Street over time was converted into what was known as ‘The Cosy Corner Café’ during the 1960s -1970s. In 2002, the perfect spot became available to relocate this gorgeous Queenslander to the top of ‘Manly Hill’ where views of the City and Mount Coot-Tha and water glimpses of Moreton Bay became a reality. The 658msq parcel of land with its unique wide frontage was a perfect match to raise the Queenslander, characterised by its double-entry staircase and classic architecture.
In 2010 the lower level of the house was transformed into a modern living space, featuring Blackbutt flooring, high ceilings, timber-hung windows, and French doors. These elements seamlessly combined the old and the new, contributing to an expansive open-plan living-dining area. The galley-style kitchen became a hub for entertainment, boasting high-end European appliances and tapware, gas cooking facilities, Patini stone benchtops, and an expansive waterfall island bench. The kitchen layout also catered to outdoor gatherings, making it easy to serve the outdoor entertainment area complemented by the inground solar heated pool. The renovation also incorporated clever storage solutions, ensuring a neat and organised living environment. Additionally, the luxurious laundry and guest bathroom were discreetly integrated into the design, with external access for convenience.
Internal access via timber stairs to the upper-level accommodation where you are greeted by the old-world charm featuring high ceilings, VJ walls, and breezeways that allow refreshing bay breezes to flow through the space. Tastefully renovated bathrooms and bedrooms with French doors leading out to both front and rear decks offer refreshing panoramic views. The enormous master bedroom provides a touch of luxury with its floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes, discreetly positioned to provide a spacious dressing room. The easy access to the upper level via the double-entry staircase to the spacious deck, make this feature a standout aspect of the property. It's not just an additional space, but a unique experience that adds depth and character to the living space, making it a place where you can truly enjoy and appreciate the breathtaking views and light shows on a stormy evening.
The improvements made to the property in 2019 are truly impressive and contribute to its overall functionality and value. The addition of the huge carport and roller door designed to accommodate a large boat or caravan to a height of 3.4m with the existing lock-up car garage provides substantial covered parking space for up to 5 cars and the covered walkway from the carport to the house a practical solution for rainy days.
