NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURE

The Australian Institute of Architects recognises the "Dalton House" as one of only 16 residential buildings in Queensland of Nationally Significant 20th Century Architecture. Designed by legendary Brisbane architect John Dalton for himself and his wife and completed in 1960, the house demonstrates Dalton's firm belief in the principals of climate design as the basis of good architecture where the occupants enjoy flowing indoor/outdoor living. The "Dalton House" was included in "The ten best houses for 1959-60" by the Australian Journal of Architecture and Arts and was the main feature in The Australian Home Beautiful in September 1961.

TASTEFULLY RENOVATED

The current owners are only the 2nd custodians and bought the home directly from the Dalton Estate. Being an architect and interior designer couple, they completed a tasteful renovation of the kitchen, bathroom and laundry whilst remaining sensitive and loyal to Dalton's original design and have enjoyed raising their young family in its beautiful setting.

Features include:
3 generous bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
Refreshed bathroom with original terrazzo flooring
New U-shaped kitchen with Carrara marble bench-tops and top quality European appliances (V-ZUG oven, ILVE induction cooktop)
Built-in fridge (Fisher & Paykel 519L)
Hide-away laundry behind custom cabinetry
Large living area with original bifold doors opening fully to patio
Top quality Haiku ceiling fans
Original wooden floorboards throughout

SURROUNDED BY NATURE

The property enjoys beautiful Queensland gumtrees and endless fauna. You have a quiet sense of having no neighbours in the near vicinity with views to the natural surrounds from every part of the home.

ENDLESS POTENTIAL

The home is in its original 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration and presents endless potential for the new owner. The enormous 1,429sqm of land allows for many extension possibilities: build out, down or up for additional bedrooms, living spaces, pool, or to take advantage of the wonderful views to Mount Coot-tha and surrounds.
