WAIRUNA | A Landmark Brisbane Residence
Sitting pride of place on 1,482sqm of sprawling grounds high on Highgate Hill, 'Wairuna' is an iconic Brisbane landmark rich in heritage history. Constructed from 1896-1900, this majestic Queen Anne estate remains the city's largest existing house built by prolific Queensland architect Robin S. Dods. Harnessing sweeping panoramas across the city skyline and Mt Coot-tha, the estate boasts the perfect north-eastern aspect. Tightly held by the same owner for almost 20 years and restored to its original glory, it is now time for this grand abode to make history once again. Brimming with traditional detail, ornate leadlight glass surrounds the entry door and filters light from the architecturally designed glass atrium onto the exquisite sandstone path. Retaining all the character of yesteryear, solid VJ walls complement the 12-18ft decorative cornices, detailed pressed metal ceilings and unique, sophisticated light fittings. Framed by a lapping verandah overlooking the water features, established gardens and capturing sensational vistas across the city and mountains, the interiors unveil an array of living spaces. The formal lounge and dining room reveals an ornate bay window and French doors that open onto a private balcony and verandah, while the informal lounge is kept warm with a traditional wood fireplace. The casual dining room forms the centrepiece of the home, with eight doorways extending through to the kitchen, bedrooms and beautiful living spaces. Boasting soaring ceilings, the feature windowed atrium draws in warm filtered light to this elegant family area. Resting on 1,482sqm of expansive grounds, the residence's exterior boasts a sandstone courtyard, tranquil water features, and a covered spa area nestled amongst the gardens. Additional property features: * Custom-designed silky oak entertainer's kitchen adorned with quality fixtures, and a high-end AGA cast-iron cooker tucked neatly within the renovated fireplace * Beautiful games room extending out to a private balcony capturing views across the city * Four light-filled bedrooms, including a grand master, plus a family bathroom * Ground level studio that opens onto the private sandstone courtyard and gardens * A walk-in storage room positioned in the centre of the house. Tow dormer windows in the roof cavity allow natural light to the entry foyer.. * Dual street access and a fully-enclosed yard with secure 6ft brick walls and automatic gate * Double garage with extensive storage and off-street parking for up to four vehicles * Plumbing for additional bathrooms accessible through the garage and enclosed laundry * Back to Base security system and NBN connectivity and cabling. An iconic residence of unparalleled history and quality, this home is positioned 200m from Brisbane State High School and 1km from Somerville House and St Laurence's. Moments from the South Bank cultural and dining precinct and West End's eclectic array of cafes, bars and boutiques, this landmark estate is a piece of Brisbane history.
