Introducing a magnificent estate that seamlessly marries regal sophistication with the essence of Italianate architecture. Inspired by the illustrious Como House in South Yarra, Melbourne, this exceptional residence encapsulates an air of refined opulence and timeless glamour.
This exquisitely renovated home is characterised by its distinctive low-pitch roofs, elegant cornices, and full-height bay windows that breathe light and grandeur into every room. The beautifully crafted sandstone-paved verandah, wrapped in wrought-iron filigree, sets the stage for your arrival to this stately manor.
Following extensive and meticulous renovations completed in December 2017, this residence showcases a harmonious blend of classic elegance and contemporary luxury. The property greets you with a stunning tree-lined driveway, guiding you through manicured grounds before revealing the impressive entrance to the manor.
Stepping inside, you are enveloped in grandeur. French Oak timber floors laid in a herringbone pattern create an inviting entryway, complemented by ornate ceiling roses and sumptuous timber panelling throughout. The heart of the home features an impressive imperial staircase that gracefully connects the opulent downstairs living areas to the serene upstairs retreats.
The gourmet kitchen, located in the northern wing, is a chef's dream, boasting pristine Caesarstone benchtops, soft-close cabinetry, and a suite of premium Smeg appliances. A walk-in pantry, designed for both function and spaciousness, enhances this culinary haven. Adjoining the kitchen, a stylish lounge beckons relaxation, complete with an in-built cocktail bar and integrated dishwasher drawer.
French doors open to reveal an expansive covered patio that overlooks the serene in-ground pool, a beautifully landscaped lawn, and a meticulously maintained full-size tennis court. Equipped with an outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in barbecue and space for a mini refrigerator, this outdoor sanctuary stands as a breathtaking setting for any occasion-from elegant soirées to grand garden receptions.
The lower level also offers a refined dining room with an original fireplace, a unique den, a formal sitting room, and a dedicated laundry that features a gift-wrapping station, doubling as a mud room. The elegantly styled bathroom on this level exudes timeless charm with its herringbone marble flooring and quality fixtures.
Ascend to the upper level to discover four generously sized bedrooms, including the sumptuous master suite. Outfitted with plush carpeting, a bespoke his and her walk-in wardrobe, and an exquisite ensuite with a double basin vanity and freestanding bathtub, this suite is a private sanctuary that encourages relaxation. The three additional bedrooms, all fitted with built-in robes and serviced by a separate bathroom and powder room, ensure ample space for family and guests.
Adding to the estate's allure is the newly constructed detached guest house, boasting two well-appointed bedrooms, an elegant kitchen complete with a butler's pantry, and an open-plan living and dining area. An alfresco area that leads onto a picturesque deck surrounded by leafy greenery enhances the guest house's inviting ambiance, making it a perfect retreat for friends and family.
Enhancing this exceptional property is a secure garage with accommodation for four vehicles, extensive storage options, and two versatile sheds equipped with three-phase power. The larger shed features automatic doors and considerable space, perfect for workshops or home studios.
Situated at the rear of the property is a detached granny flat, built in 2014. This dual-living space is air-conditioned and showcases elegant raked ceilings, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen featuring Westinghouse appliances. The generous bedroom comes with a built-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. This versatile accommodation can also be rented out separately, offering excellent investment potential.
Emphasising convenience, this estate is just 12 kms from Brisbane's CBD, allowing for blissful estate living without compromising accessibility to the vibrant amenities of Albany Shopping Village and esteemed educational institutions like St Paul's School and Albany Creek State School-both merely minutes away.
