31 Brisbane Street, Bulimba

With a history dating back to over a century ago, there is a story to be told regarding each and every aspect of this charming character home turned architecturally designed marvel. With a priority placed on open spaces and independent dual living, it is the ultimate family home that is also an entertainer’s dream.

Built in 1907, the original house was dragged by bullocks from Norman Park to where it is now perfectly situated in Bulimba’s Brisbane Street, where it was one of the first homes along the street. Despite undergoing a number of renovations over the years, certain features of the original build have been retained so that it remains an authentic Queenslander.

Creating stunning street appeal are landscaped hedges that surround a 45 year old poinciana tree. Entering through the secure gate, a timber walkway provides two methods of access into the home. The first is through a side door that connects to the guest bedroom, the second takes you through the gorgeous front door, decorated with stained glass panels.

The interior of the residence is an elegant blend of repurposed construction materials and contemporary fixtures. Beautiful exposed brick walls that feature in the living area, butler’s pantry, master bedroom hallway and wine cellar were saved from a South Australian warehouse facing demolition in 2014. While large timber beams used throughout the downstairs area were sourced from a bridge in Ballarat that was also demolished in 2014.

An expansive main living space features an open plan layout that transitions from dining room to the galley style kitchen before becoming a cosy lounge area. The resident chef will relish spending time in the well appointed kitchen, complete with Asko oven and dishwasher, gas stovetop, an abundance of cabinetry storage, butler’s pantry with exterior access and large bar bench.

From here, sliding bi-fold doors seamlessly blend the inside with the outside, providing access to the enviable entertaining area. Take your pick of spots to relax, with a timber and grassed alfresco area bordered by landscaped garden beds, or enjoy breezes coming off the Brisbane River as you recline on the poolside daybed. You can sit back and watch your favourite TV shows, movies or exciting sport matches on the remote controlled projector screen that overlooks the sparkling in-ground pool, and when the projector isn’t in use, a statement fireplace takes its place and can be safely turned on with the press of the button.

Sharing access to the timber pool deck is the master bedroom. Featuring a Balinese style ensuite, vast dressing room and remote blinds, this is a luxurious parents’ retreat.

Upstairs in the original 1907 Worker’s Cottage a second living area with a kitchenette, fireplace and a Juliet balcony adjoins a master with walk-in robe and ensuite and two further bedrooms that feature built-in robes, ceiling fans and ducted air conditioning.

A guest bedroom with walk-in robe, study nook and independent access to the front lawn completes this floor. This room would also make for an excellent office space.
