68 Sixth Avenue, Bardon, Qld 4065

Once a humble 1920’s character cottage, this property has been thoughtfully transformed into a refined and light filled residence that unfolds over two spacious levels. The much loved family home of an architect and builder, it showcases inspired design and a meticulous attention to detail, while delivering relaxed, low-maintenance living in a highly desirable lifestyle location.

A deep front verandah creates a charming welcome and street presence, while inside original 3.2m high ceilings and polished timber flooring celebrate the home’s character. A hall leads to the impressive open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area, where soaring cathedral ceilings enhance the feeling of spaciousness. The home feels fresh and contemporary and the stylish, centrally located kitchen has stone topped benches, including a practical breakfast bar and quality Miele appliances.

Timber framed sliders create a seamless connection with the northeast facing rear deck, which captures an elevated, leafy outlook and filtered views of the city skyline. Generously proportioned for entertaining, dining or simply relaxing, it’s a beautiful space to greet the sunrise, while the front verandah provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy spectacular sunsets.

Perfectly designed for Brisbane’s subtropical climate, the home has high performance glazing and substantial insulation, meaning it has excellent thermal qualities and requires very little effort to remain cool or warm. Ducted air-conditioning and Haiku ceilings fans are there for steamy summer days, while a wood-burning fireplace creates a cosy spot for cooler months.

There are three bedrooms on the upper level. The Master has a walk-in robe and a light filled ensuite. The other two bedrooms, currently utilised as a study and sitting room, share the beautifully appointed main bathroom.

Downstairs, a second versatile living area provides separation and extra space for family life. It opens directly onto the substantial backyard and established gardens for an effortless indoor/outdoor connection. This level also includes a third bathroom and additional accommodation that has its own private entrance, creating a spacious and private retreat for independent family members, guests or potential dual living.

Practicality is also well considered, with a family-size laundry and drying court, a large double lock-up garage and a separate multi-purpose room offering excellent flexibility as a workshop, gym or storage space.

The home is situated on an elevated and generously sized block in a tranquil neighbourhood. It’s a short walk to the Sweetshop Café and Bardon Providore at one end of the street and leafy Rainworth Park at the other.
It’s in the catchment for the highly regarded Rainworth State School and close to the shops and conveniences of Rosalie Village and Bardon Shed. The beautiful trails of Mt Coot-tha are within easy reach and bus services on nearby Boundary Road offer regular services to the CBD.

Beautifully considered and rich in character, this is a home where inspired design, exceptional functionality and relaxed family living come together effortlessly. Spacious and with a versatile floor plan, it offers an outstanding opportunity in one of Bardon’s most sought after pockets.
