Inviting, evocative and intriguing, this mid-century modern haven is a timeless treasure. Occupying a secluded and sought-after location just 6km from the Brisbane CBD, it’s also a slice of architectural history. Designed by Ron Petersen, it was his cherished home for 40 years. Today, it’s been renovated with meticulous care, epitomising classic yet contemporary luxury without compromising its original charm.
Showcasing signature timber finishes, bold accent colours and large windows that invite sunshine in, what is most profound, however, is the way it makes you feel. Infinitely inviting, it wraps itself around you – just as the house wraps around the lush and leafy 971m2 block.
Whisking you away on a journey, it reveals itself in subtle, yet enchanting stages. Cook up retro-inspired recipes in the galley kitchen, where fabulous flair and function unite, then share the feast with guests in the formal dining room. Indoor-outdoor living is also celebrated, with the sunken lounge seamlessly connecting with an alfresco entertaining terrace. Alternatively, retreat to the snug fireside nook with a Manhattan feel or spend time in the thriving oasis outdoors, where the pool rests amongst tropical gardens.
It even has the potential to surprise with its cleverly concealed Palms Springs-inspired powder room. Just as delightful are the three spacious bedrooms and two no-expense-spared renovated bathrooms, where skylights illuminate the Japanese tiles and bespoke cabinetry. A versatile office can also be converted to a 4th bedroom or media room.
Situated in a tranquil cul-de-sac and opposite protected bushland, this home offers convenient access to esteemed schools, Griffith University, Toohey Forest, sporting fields, and Westfield Garden City. Commuters will also benefit from convenient freeway access north and south.
With only two proud owners in its 56-year history, this represents a rare opportunity. Be the next privileged custodian of this mid-century modern masterpiece – arrange your inspection today.
