Built with integrity and Architecturally designed for the sub-tropical Queensland climate, this stunning home, originally built in the 1960s remains a superb reminder of simple but astutely progressive ideas on the post-war Australian lifestyle in the leafy surrounds of The Gap.
Fast forward 60 or so years, and the home has been treated to a full restoration. Meticulously renovated by owner/Architect to emphasise the desirable North-Easterly aspect, hero the functional open plan living areas and highlight the stunning original design features and finishes. The result (after what is no doubt an arduous labour of love, combined with years of knowledge and skill specialising in boutique residential Architecture) is this sublime family home that captures the essence of an iconic era while offering all the luxuries of contemporary living in a family friendly locale.
With enduring Mid-Century modern aesthetic and character at its core, the restoration carefully preserved architectural features including the original entry windows that illuminate the living space and flood the home with natural light and views to green surrounds. Other notable characteristics include feature panelling to corridor walls, iconic low slung roof line, solid original hardwood timber flooring and classic entry door. For those who share an appreciation for MCM design but would rather their weekends free from endless sanding, painting and shopping for light fittings, this one has your name all over it.
Designed with functionality, sustainability, comfort, and beauty in mind, the upper level you find three of the five bedrooms. All bedrooms feature built in cabinetry, ceiling fans, custom window coverings and polished timber floors. The kitchen, commonly referred to as the heart of the home, is visually connected to both living areas and includes a custom breakfast bench and window seat enjoying garden views. Caesar Stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, and a new kitchen cooktop and dishwasher were recently added with kitchen cabinet doors replaced last year. Stepping down from the kitchen to the polished concrete floors and raked ceilings of the second living space, and the allure of this mid-century marvel continues outside, where meticulously landscaped gardens surround an inviting outdoor entertainment area. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature while enjoying alfresco dining, hosting gatherings, or simply basking in the Queensland sunshine.
Down the internal stairway with custom balustrade to the lower level, two more generous bedrooms sit adjacent a modern bathroom with double vanity. Bedroom five can double as home office with secure entry from carport, illustrating how this traditional design has been successfully reworked to suit a modern family’s way of life.
