Perched Atop Coorparoo’s Most Coveted Street, 79 Buena Vista Avenue Is In A Class Of Its Own

Reimagining a grand character build while paying homage to its phenomenal history, this architect-crafted sanctuary has been meticulously created with incredible attention-to-detail. Benefitting from a versatile layout that will suit an array of families, this five-bedroom home boasts scope for seven bedrooms total. A 7.5 Green Star rating, a magnesium swimming pool, a dedicated wine cellar, lift access and utterly spellbinding city views also make this abode the ultimate family and entertainers’ retreat.

Expertly fusing heritage-style grandeur with contemporary refinement, the tri-level property is bespoke in every sense of the word. Originally a 1912-built church located in Queensland’s fourth oldest town, Nanango, the residence was transformed by the acclaimed ptma Architecture to create a home that is both functional and beautiful.

Positioned on a unique diagonal axis, the property features a favourable northern aspect capturing refreshing breezes, warming sunlight and panoramic city views. This, coupled with intelligent technology and a focus on sustainability, makes the residence a truly rare offering.

Quite literally the heart of the home, the original church serves as the focal point. Taking inspiration from its original function as a place of gathering, this central meeting area is accompanied by two attached villas. With living spaces and bedrooms in all three zones, the property’s floor-plan will suit families seeking multi-generational living or space for a home business.

Also making an extraordinary impression is the residence’s exquisite design details. Showcasing the church’s hoop pine timber floors, majestic eight-metre-high ceilings, horizontal-join walls and elegant leadlight- and stained-glass windows, the home is also accented by spotted gum timber, natural stone, pressed metal, glass and steel. The result is a tasteful setting with timeless appeal.

Upon entry, you will be greeted by verdant landscaped gardens and a one-of-a-kind creek-inspired water feature that spills into three crystalline ponds. From here, a welcoming entry punctuated by a 900-litre fish aquarium leads to a spacious open-plan living and dining area. Encompassing a towering water feature made from highly durable glass, this central space seamlessly links to an arbour-shaded deck with a heater, unrivalled city views and a stone feature wall that was hand-built over three months.

Entertainers and avid cooks alike will also appreciate the property’s spectacular kitchen, which displays a breakfast bar, a full suite of Ilve appliances, unique steel benchtops and ample soft-close cupboard storage. An adjoining butler’s pantry looks down to the wine cellar below.

Another exceptional space, the master suite appears to float above the central living area. Located on a mezzanine-style platform accessible via a timber staircase and the residence’s wheel chair compliant lift, a sizeable master bedroom is complete with mesmerising city views, a walk-in robe, a luxe ensuite and a laundry chute.

Connected to the main living area on the middle level, the home’s front villa is ideal for older generations, guests, teenagers or young adults. With its own entrance and potential to serve as an office, this functional space includes an ensuited bedroom with a walk-in robe. There is also a large living area or study, as well as a powder room and garden surrounds.

Allowing families to spend time both together and apart, the property’s rear villa boasts two additional bedrooms; one can also be used as another living space. You will also find a shared ensuite, a walk-in robe and a second rear deck commanding city views. A loft-style attic space can double as a ’chill-out’ zone, a children’s playroom, a study area or extra storage.

On the residence’s ground level, a covered al fresco area with a full bathroom and mudroom facilities offers provisions for another two bedrooms.

Encouraging indoor-outdoor living, a fully-fenced grassed rear yard showcases lush gardens and a babbling fish pond. Promising to be the envy of guests, a covered magnesium swimming pool benefits from a speed-controlled waterfall-style water feature. Another highlight is the home’s temperature-moderated wine cellar, which encompasses a frost-resistant door, Epoxy floors and hardwood timber sourced from the original church.

Complete with a secure three-car garage boasting a 15-kilowatt Tesla battery, 3 phase 17kw car recharger which will charge a car in 2 hours

the property also includes an automated and app-controlled air-conditioning, lighting and security system. Residents will also value the home’s 18-kilowatt solar power system,

four security cameras, 45,000-litre concrete rainwater tanks, ceiling fans, LED lighting, laundry and fantastic storage. A garden pump supports efficient water use; the swimming pool’s magnesium water can also be used on the garden.

Only eight kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD and minutes from a plethora of shops and dining options, this remarkable property is also close to Camp Hill Marketplace and the fashionable Martha Street café precinct. White’s Hill Reserve’s popular walking tracks and sporting grounds are also nearby, as is Coorparoo Square.

Falling within the Whites Hill State College catchment area, this incomparable home is also a short drive from Loreto College, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School and Saint Thomas Catholic Primary School. Do not miss this exclusive opportunity – call to arrange an inspection today.
