Stunning and rare historical home, minutes from Brisbane’s CBD
Expertly crafted in 1934 by architect Horace Driver and built for Robert David Young, 'Runnymede' presents an incredibly exclusive opportunity to secure a historic Brisbane home. Set on an impressive 987sqm allotment on Cracknell Road's southern side, this four-bedroom prestige property with a northern aspect, dual street access and a swimming pool is a true landmark address.
Reminiscent of a French countryside hamlet and beautifully maintained, the residence offers a tranquil retreat in city-fringing Annerley. Perfectly balancing rustic charm with undeniable refinement and superb functionality, the home is tucked away amongst flourishing gardens that create a wonderful sense of privacy.
Promising to enchant from the outset with its attractive stucco facade, large arched windows, gated entry and mature front gardens, the property invites you to enjoy the elegance of a bygone era. Equally exquisite, the residence's interior showcases timber floors, dazzling chandeliers, decorative wallpapered-walls, exposed timber beams and French doors.
Grand yet delightfully liveable, the residence continues from its welcoming entry foyer to a generous lounge area and adjoining family room. Punctuated by a magnificent fireplace, this spectacular central space is accompanied by a formal dining room and a casual meals area. Exuding classic French provincial style, a fantastic kitchen displays a tiled splashback and ample cupboard storage. A suite of excellent appliances includes a freestanding gas stove/oven. Finishing the lower level is a large full bathroom and separate laundry.
At the home's rear, a fully-fenced rear yard features a patio, established gardens and a sparkling in-ground swimming pool. Adding to the property's versatility is a council-approved studio with a kitchenette, which can serve as a home office or guest accommodation.
A sizeable master bedroom capturing picturesque garden views is upstairs. There are also three additional bedrooms, plus a well-appointed main bathroom benefitting from a separate bath, shower and toilet.
Complete with a secure dual tandem garage and an extended driveway providing extra off-street parking, the property also includes an internal laundry, brilliant storage, solar and air-conditioning.
Only a leisurely stroll from a collection of popular local eateries and city-bound bus stops, this phenomenal residence is also close to Yeronga Memorial Park's sporting facilities. The Pacific Motorway and South East Busway are nearby, as is the new Yeerongpilly Green dining and retail precinct. This extraordinary home is also just minutes from Mary Immaculate Primary School, Our Lady's College, Saint Elizabeth's Primary School and Saint Sebastian's Primary School.
