34 Blakeney Street, Highgate Hill, QLD 4101

Perched high above the street on a ridge top in Highgate Hill, this spacious family home with two-street frontage and dual access, offers rarely found and much sought after five bedrooms to accommodate a large and growing family.

Centrally located within close walking distance of Brisbane State High School, the home's peaceful setting on a tree-lined street belies its proximity so close to South Bank and Brisbane CBD. High walls at the front and rear of the north-south facing residence create a hidden sanctuary and private haven for the home's occupants.

Enjoyed by one family for the past 30 plus years, this grand character home with modern extension is a once in a generation opportunity for its next owners to make their own memories. Standing proudly as an elevated two storey traditional Queenslander high above the imposing front wall facing Blakeney Street, the house presents as a hidden contemporary abode to the Pollux Street laneway behind.

Arrive via secure gated entry off Blakeney Street, ascend stairs up one level into the front garden and manicured lawn, then climb another flight of stairs to the front verandah and main entry of the home's upper level with its sweeping views over Highgate Hill and beyond. Three of the house's five bedrooms are located on this top floor main entry, including the master with luxurious marble ensuite and spacious walk-in robe. The second and third bedrooms both have mirrored built-in robes, and a second bathroom is also located on this level. The two front bedrooms open out to the balcony and sitting area via traditional French doors.

The central hallway on the upper level leads to an enormous open plan living and kitchen area which merges with the paved outdoor entertaining area at the rear with its magnesium pool, and expansive covered deck. A spiral staircase leads up another level to a rooftop deck where you will feel like you are on top of the world. Take in the sweeping views of the city and mountains, and relish your premier position for watching sunsets, fireworks and city lights.

The combined kitchen with large island bench has great sightlines across the living and outdoor areas and pool, perfect for watching children and guests at play whilst preparing family meals or entertaining. Premium European appliances, floor to ceiling storage, an alfresco breakfast bar, and abundant space across the beautiful stone benchtops complete the picture.

The adjoining lounge area is one of multiple indoor and outdoor areas within the home for family and friends to spread out and enjoy this amazing home. A nearby staircase leads down to the second level where another large central lounge area flows out to the lower deck and sitting area, and front lawn.

The home has security mesh on the lower level, airconditioning throughout, and breezeways to embrace the hilltop air flow. The lower level of the home also features another two bedrooms with built-in robes, a third bathroom, two large storage areas including a wine cellar, and a laundry / kitchenette perfect for dual or separate living for teenagers or extended family and guests. Direct entry to the house via the lower level enhances the ease of separate living.

Vehicle entry to the residence is via the upper level at the rear. A covered carport with secure internal parking is access via a garage door opening up to Pollux Lane.

Located within easy walking distance of South Bank and Brisbane CBD, West End's high street and West Village are also close by. Walking to shopping, dining, schools, hospitals and transport (bus, train and CityCat) is easy. Positioned within the Brisbane State High School and West End State School catchments, other leading schools including Somerville House and St Laurence's College are nearby, as are Griffith University and TAFE. The South Bank cultural precinct is at your door step, including Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Queensland Museum, Queensland Library, and the Queensland Art Gallery and GOMA. The Mater and Princess Alexandra Hospitals are both very close, as are QUT Gardens Point and the University of Queensland.

So centrally located, large five-bedroom family homes with dual-street frontage within Brisbane State High School catchment are hard to find and do not come to market often. We do not expect this unique turnkey offering in such a quiet and private location to last long in market. We invite you to attend our next open for inspection and to reach out with any questions via telephone or email in the meantime.
