24 The Drive, Bardon, QLD, 4065, Australia

Situated in one of Bardon's most prestigious streets, 24 The Drive is a luxurious home set over multiple levels that has undergone an extensive structural transformation from a traditional Queenslander cottage into a sleek multifaceted home.

Designed by CG Design Studio, great thought has gone into providing enough private retreats and family entertaining areas throughout this spectacular home. An entirely new structure was added onto the rear of the original cottage, becoming the main living, dining, and entertaining area.

The upstairs level encompasses the original cottage, which still retains character features such as polished pine timber floors, VJ walls and timber breezeways. Towards the front of the house, you'll find four good-sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, and with one bedroom containing its own private ensuite, plus a living room and the main family bathroom. The main bathroom features hand-painted limited edition Bonnie and Neil floor tiles, custom 2Pac joinery, a concrete basin and a full-sized bath and a separate walk-in shower.

A 'bridge' was built to seamlessly join the old and new structures of the home, and connects the front four bedrooms to the expansive primary suite at the rear of the home. The primary suite is a key feature of the home, being its own wing of the property, and features Pearl Grey Dolomite stone and handmade terracotta glazed Zellige tiles in the ensuite, a large walk-in-wardrobe and views over the rooftop garden and out to the leafy gully below.

The main living areas are located downstairs, enhanced by the raised roofline with a stunning internal void, which was designed to increase natural light and circulation throughout the home. The sliding glass doors around the kitchen and living areas fully open up to the covered alfresco area to create an extended interior space, providing beautiful outdoor living. Outside you can enjoy sheltered comfort whilst you entertain, with an in-built barbeque and fireplace allowing you to engage easily with the external spaces. Offsetting the house is a landscaped backyard and an Indonesian Sukabumi tiled pool and a handy pool room, which comes complete with the fourth full bathroom, a sauna and a kitchenette making it the perfect teen retreat.

Inside, the enviable kitchen is equipped with porcelain benchtops, custom 2pac timber grain joinery and high-end appliances including Miele ovens, induction cooktop and two dishwashers. There is also a useful butler's pantry and a mud room tucked off the kitchen, allowing for food preparation and rubbish collection to occur out of sight. The downstairs level also features a cinema room, a separate bar area, a large laundry and a stylish powder room with Italian Rosa Nuvola Marble benches, Japanese glass mosaic tiles and custom-designed wallpaper.

Other features of this stunning property include solar panels, ducted air-conditioning, ceiling fans, European Oak engineered flooring, Integrated Sonos speakers, Natural fibre sisal carpet in the primary bedroom and a large external storage room off the garage.

This well-maintained family home sits in a prime location inside the Bardon State School catchment, walking distance to public transport, parks and playing fields, St Joseph's Primary School and all the amenities the Bardon shops have to offer.
