43 Oakwal Terrace, Windsor, Qld 4030

'Somerset' is a distinguished colonial residence that seamlessly blends timeless character with sophisticated contemporary living. Proudly occupying its elevated position on Oakwal Terrace Windsor, for more than a century, this beautifully renovated home captures the grace and craftsmanship of a bygone era while offering all the comforts demanded by modern family life.
Set on an easy-care freehold allotment, Somerset presents an exceptional alternative to townhouse living - delivering space, privacy and character without the burden of body corporate fees. Located just over 3 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD, the home enjoys unrivalled convenience within walking distance to rail transport, major bus routes, parks, local cafés, the Royal Brisbane Hospital and highly regarded schools.
Beyond the striking façade, intricate lacework recreates the original wrought iron detailing that frames the wide staircase and expansive front veranda. From this elevated vantage point, sweeping views stretch across Windsor and Wilston towards Eildon Hill, while cooling north-easterly breezes enhance the home's relaxed Queensland lifestyle.
Inside, a traditional wide hallway welcomes you with polished pine floors, decorative timber detailing and soaring ceilings that immediately evoke warmth and elegance. Rich in period charm, the home retains its original VJ walls, generous proportions and light-filled interiors, all thoughtfully enhanced through sympathetic renovations.
The beautifully appointed kitchen and renovated bathrooms introduce a refined contemporary edge while remaining entirely in harmony with the home's heritage appeal. The spacious living area is centred around a statement chandelier and offers ample room for both formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living.
This home has three generously sized bedrooms. The luxurious master suite features floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry and a stylish ensuite complete with an oversized double shower. The second bedroom is currently used as a study and showcases an original fireplace, adding depth and character, while both principal bedrooms are air-conditioned for year-round comfort. The third bedroom is equally well-proportioned with built-in wardrobes and space for a queen-sized bed.
A north-facing sunroom adjoining the kitchen provides the perfect setting for hosting family and friends around the banqueting table, with french doors allowing the party to overflow to the front veranda. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, this room would equally work as a study, reading room, or a place for casual meals.
Adding significant long-term value, the substantial lower level offers exciting scope to expand the residence without the need to raise the home.
Steeped in history, elegance and enduring charm, Somerset presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of Brisbane's most desirable suburbs.
