A masterclass in Federation Filigree architecture, Penlington House has had a complete true-to-style renovation and is now available for purchase for the first time since completion.

Originally built in 1898 this property is an icon of our city. The full renovation was completed in November 2023 including a new architecturally accurate roof to current building standards; custom bevelled carpentry in the veranda eaves and balustrades; three-time polished Blackbutt hardwood flooring throughout and exceptional marble kitchen.

The Ring Group (Sydney) renovation has been completed incredibly tastefully to maintain the original character of the home whilst ensuring all the modern necessities are covered. Featuring five bedrooms, four of which open directly onto the semi-enclosed veranda, and a separate study, luxury family bathroom with claw-foot bath, shower room with internal laundry, large dining room and spacious living room with corner glass sliding doors opening onto the rear deck. There are split system air-conditioners in three bedrooms, the dining room, kitchen and main bathroom. Inside is a combination of 14ft high ceilings and raked ceilings, traditional Queenslander features and elaborate chandeliers. The sensational Olive & White designed kitchen includes white two-pack finishes, marble benchtops, ceramic Fienza butler sink, Miele dishwasher, Falcon oven and stove, pantry and butlers' hatch. Any home chef (or novice!) would be at home in this beautiful space.

Outside you'll find a wrap-around veranda with moveable screen for privacy closer to the bedrooms. There is a servery which connects to the dining room making hosting as seamless as can be. To the rear is the outdoor kitchen with granite and two-pack finishes overlooking the stunning pool. A second dishwasher, sink and fridge space have been installed for easy catering during barbeque season. Embrace our beautiful climate whilst relaxing on the deck with a beverage or having a swim in the concrete 10mx5m pool surrounded by manicured formal garden beds. The façade of Penlington House is a testament to the current owners, rose beds adorn the front garden and arbor, immaculate lawns and tasteful palms frame the home.

Formal underneath carparking for one large and one small vehicle is secured by an electric roller door and is accompanied by a council-approved concrete slab for a possible additional living area. The additional external double carport has been matched stylistically to the home and is seamlessly connected by stairs to the rear deck.

Located at the peak of Penlington Street Penlington House overlooks our whole city. Sitting on the front veranda you can enjoy views from the top of The Range over to Mount Archer and Norman Gardens. Protected from the stronger south-easterly winds with screens along the veranda there are always refreshing breezes through the home.
