102 Rome Street South, Yeronga, Qld 4104

If only walls could talk, they would have so many stories to tell, and one can imagine what has been before. The love, the laughter, the family gatherings, such a wonderful home that has been admired by many over the years. This mid-century home at 102 Rome St South, Yeronga has stood the test of time and represents all the character and subtle elegance of her era, while offering functionality and lifestyle. Designed by renowned architect Don Winsen, this home was the Winsen residence for over sixty-seven years.

Situated down a private lane, on an expansive 950sqm block, the north-east orientated home is the perfect blend of inner city living and private, riverside living. The flexible layout offers a range of living options, suitable for families & couples alike. Downsizers will appreciate being able to enter the home on ground level with the main bedroom, kitchen and living spaces on this level. The lower level could easily be kept for visitors, creating a single level, everyday home.

With five bedrooms on offer, three on the upper level, two on the lower level, the home grew quite quickly in the day as the family grew. Home to an architect, an artist and 4 creative children with a love of the outdoors, you can’t help to think the home has a certain “Brady Bunch” feel. The main bedroom is a step back in time retaining and celebrating mid-century design. The customised bedhead with dressing table is something quite special. The ensuite has retained the original Terrazzo flooring with an easy access shower. Bedroom 3 offers a split bedroom, ideal for children that want to share; or the perfect study and bedroom combined. The downstairs bedrooms also hold a certain quirkiness, built without doors (easy to add them in), great storage and a private wing for the growing children complete with a full bathroom. The two eldest girls loved this space, the only complaint I heard is one liked to read late into the night and the bedside light would be annoying!

The kitchen is at the heart of the home, designed to be a social space that everyone could enjoy. The smart cabinetry offers ample storage and preparation space, a design ahead of its time. The casual living areas sit beside the kitchen, again creating a social lifestyle where the family came together with room for craft, plus ample room for a sitting area and meals.

Down the hall you will find the formal, light filled living spaces with views to the river through the oversized casement windows. The fireplace creates the feature of the room, but also provides the separation between the living and the dining. Adorned with mid-century furniture and design, this really is a special space to relax and entertain.

Complete this outstanding package with a large separate laundry; substantial workshop with plenty of storage & creative space; double carport with room for two more cars in the driveway; fireplace; split system air-conditioning; 3 bathrooms; ample storage throughout the home; even the original cupboard for the milk & bread delivery; move in and appreciate all that is on offer or create a home to suit your needs.

Close to every convenience imaginable, walk to the Yeronga Village Shops, Yeronga RSL, Hyde Rd dog park, St Sebastian's Primary School, Yeronga State School, Hyde Rd Kindy, bus, and train; a bike ride to the Green Bridge connecting you to the University of QLD and a bike ride to the Tennyson Centre & Yeerongpilly Green Shopping Centre; with easy access to the hospitals, universities, Fairfield Gardens shopping centre with both Coles and Aldi and within 5km to the CBD. All the conveniences at your fingertips, but quietly located away from the hustle and bustle in the beautiful Yeronga pocket.....it doesn't get much better!
