Set on an incredibly rare 2,738sqm allotment in coveted Sherwood, this six-bedroom prestige Queenslander has been tastefully maintained and updated to create a luxurious sanctuary. Originally built in 1906, this dual-level property with a swimming pool and a tennis court invites you to secure an exceptional piece of Sherwood's history.

Crafted in the early 20th century for Sherwood Shire Council Chairman Fanshawe Gostling, the residence was later meticulously updated by Blackline Builders in consultation with a heritage architect. Maintaining its exquisite character, the home also boasts high-end modern inclusions that promise sheer luxury.

Utterly resplendent, the property sets the elevated standard from the outset with its grand traditional facade, covered wrap-around verandah, picket-fenced front gardens and dual street access. Continuing the elegance inside are details such as polished timber floors, lofty ceilings, French doors, custom joinery, plantation shutters and VJ walls.

Flowing from the residence's welcoming entry and central hallway, a spacious combined living and dining area is punctuated by library-style shelving and a stone fireplace. You will also find a separate lounge area with integrated media cabinetry, as well as an enviable gourmet kitchen and an adjoining casual dining space. This fantastic culinary space displays an island bench, Calacatta marble benchtops, an Italian 120-centimetre freestanding custom Ilve oven, a built-in microwave, a Qaisar rangehood, a side-by-side Liebherr fridge/freezer, a butler's pantry and ample cupboard storage. Additionally, a gas cooktop/electric oven has a teppanyaki plate and an integrated deep fryer.

Extending the entertainment options, a large open-air terrace showcasing a fireplace and French-laid travertine paving provides a marvellous setting for relaxing and hosting guests. There is also a full outdoor kitchen fitted with a built-in pizza oven and barbecue.

An exclusive oasis, an expansive fully-fenced grassed yard features flourishing gardens, a sparkling in-ground swimming pool and an attached pavilion. Sporting-enthusiasts will also love the home's 38.2-metre-long tennis court, which is accompanied by its own pavilion encompassing a wet bar and a powder room. A separate studio is perfect for a home gym, a Pilates space, a teenagers' retreat or another lounge area.
