Art Nouveau. One of the defining art movements of the 20th century, influencing all elements of visual culture celebrating elegant curves and long lines, evident in the front fa?ade, including the circular leadlight entry.
Stunning streetscape traversing the 1618 square metre block on two titles. With breathtaking views to Brisbane CBD from the entire front verandah and separate gazebo, the weathered century old formal garden and rolling lawns, provide play area and are set behind the decorative stucco fence with arched pedestrian entry.
Formal entry opens to both formal living and dining with lavish leadlight windows and pressed metal ceilings. Formal living has an art nouveau fireplace bringing in a new era of d?cor and would have been top of the range in 1902.
An impressive and rare full length horizontal hall provides access to four large bedrooms and office, all with pressed metal ceilings. The main bedroom featuring leadlight windows opens to a large ensuite with double vanity and superb storage space including separate linen cupboard.
The main bathroom is also located off the hall.
The side and back verandahs have been enclosed over time to provide great play space ? office etc. off the bedrooms and open to a fully secure gazebo.
The very practical galley kitchen is well appointed and has a walk-in pantry adjoining the huge laundry with space for sewing or craft.

In 1975 an extension was added to provide a second living area with a private powder room. Ideal space to host the largest gathering, or family Christmas Day.

A second fully enclosed gazebo allows the gathering to spill out to the back yard which has great space for a pool.
