Shining brightly as a beacon of architectural artistry and steeped in local history, welcome to a one-of-a-kind church conversion that is revered throughout Brisbane. Constructed in 1938 and granted heritage listed status in 2005, this icon of Avant-Garde style and design is a symbol of enduring beauty that locals love. Perched upon a 1,012m2 block and spanning 550m2 of floorspace, including a sprawling octagonal living zone crowned by 6m ceilings, your spiritual awakening awaits at this landmark, no-expense-spared restoration.
Sympathetically converted from a church to a much-loved home in 2012-13, this marvellous art-deco masterpiece is bathed in soft light that filters in from the rows of high-set casement windows. Blessed with an enchanting ambience, it boasts multiple inviting and versatile areas for relaxation, dining and entertaining, as well as a gourmet kitchen. Fitted with high-end Swiss appliances, an integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, polished basalt stone benches and scullery, it’s the beating heart of this bespoke home.
The luxury of space continues with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Relish retreating to the grand master suite sanctuary for your daily rejuvenation. Along with a walk-in robe and access to the pool alfresco area, it’s complemented by an ensuite with freestanding bath and heated New York marble floors. Spoil guests with a self-contained studio with a delightful Travertine ensuite and private entrance (formerly the Sunday School), with another wing dedicated to two more bedrooms and bathrooms with heated towel rails, Hansgrohe Pura Vida fixtures and Michelangelo toilets. Bedroom five, in another separate wing, can also be used as an office with a bathroom and kitchenette, plus this solid brick cavity home includes a double garage with 3phase power.
Outdoors, peace and privacy prevail amongst the mature, shady trees, with a pool on hand for our perpetually balmy Queensland summers. Sit back on the elevated alfresco area and savour the serenity or host guests in style in this garden oasis.
