33 Stafford Street, East Brisbane QLD 4169 AUS

Located in one of the widest streets in East Brisbane is this outstanding renovated property where traditional colonial features blend seamlessly with a cutting edge contemporary extension to create an eminently liveable home.

Whilst the front of the house remains true to its traditional roots, the back tells a whole new story altogether.

In order to balance the contemporary with the traditional, the volume of house was divided into three parts; the existing house; the extension; and the connection.

A centre courtyard with a water feature creates a feeling of spaciousness, and while linking the old and the new, it also provides vistas through the home.

Upon entering via the new side-entry of the house, you are drawn into a gradual expansion of space to the open plan living area with a clear view through to the landscaped yard.

This open plan space accommodates the spectacular kitchen, and the amazing lounge & living areas with features galore.

Some of these features include:
– Burnished concrete floors
– Spotted gum timber bulkheads and walls
– Italian statuario marble that is used extensively throughout the house
– Miele appliances
– The latest in lighting
– Large operable doors

A powder room, laundry and a two car garage with extra storage complete this level.

Internal floating / hanging stairs crafted from recycled timber lead you up to the breezeway bridge that connects the old with the new.

The upstairs front of the house that was the original cottage has been beautifully renovated too and hosts two bedrooms, both with built ins, a modern bathroom, separate toilet, study nook and covered deck. As well as providing connection, the breezeway bridge allows for good separation from the back two bedrooms.

The upstairs contemporary extension hosts the main bedroom with walk in robes and ensuite, a 4th bedroom, a sitting room and a covered rear deck that overlooks the landscaped yard.

There are also two separate ducted inverter air conditioners to ensure air flow throughout the house.

This home is ideally positioned to offer you the best of a convenient inner city lifestyle. Within walking distance to shops, cafes, restaurants and the Gabba Cricket Ground and close to the City Cat, bus and Church of England Grammar School; and only 2 kilometres to the Brisbane CBD.
