Deeply immersed within the very foundation of Brisbane's architectural history, this circa 1930's Walter Taylor build echoes of a bygone era whilst affording all the modern amenities expected of a home of its calibre thanks to renovations completed by prize-winning architect Kevin Hayes. Situated within one of the most highly sought-after streets on the highside of Graceville, the property was bestowed the name 'Kimbar House' after its original custodians. With a rich antiquity of high society gatherings, the regal home has hosted many a soiree upon its sprawling lawns.
Hidden behind an unassuming streetscape, the majesty of this property is made evident from the moment you enter through its front gate. Mature landscaping and bordering hedges encase the iconic art-deco faade that Walter Taylor was well-known for.
The upper level of the home is a showpiece of polished timber flooring, soaring 10ft ceilings, stained-glass windows and intricate breezeway fretwork; which seamlessly blend into a modern living area and kitchen. With sleek white cabinetry, stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances including gas cooktop and dishwasher, and an expansive breakfast bar, the kitchen is of a timeless design.
The master suite has been thoughtfully designed with veranda access, large walk-in robe and ensuite with frame-less glass shower. The further two bedrooms housed on this level are both afforded balcony access.
Down the internal staircase, the ground floor has been completely transformed to include two further bedrooms (both built-in), full bathroom, a spacious rumpus with bespoke cabinetry, internal laundry and access to the deck overlooking a private art-deco inspired in-ground pool, sympathetic to the homes era.
Not many opportunities arise to own an integral and iconic part of Brisbane's history. As a Graceville local himself, Walter Taylor designed and built some very prominent landmarks in the area including the Walter Taylor Bridge which connects Chelmer to Indooroopilly, and the heritage listed Graceville Uniting Church.
