INNER CITY PARADISE

102A Rome St South, Yeronga offers an outstanding award-winning contemporary home (Australian Institute of Architects, Brisbane House of the Year, 2006), designed by Shane Thompson, unrivalled in design and finish yet offering functionality and lifestyle. Surrounded by lush sub-tropical gardens, this home is located in arguably one of the best locations Yeronga has to offer on a private block enjoying a north-east aspect and river outlook.

The attention to detail is evident the moment you walk through the door; the architect was briefed to be generous with contrasting spaces, creating a modern interpretation of a Queenslander that blends sub-tropical ambiances with timber features, louvres, and floor to ceiling glass bi-fold doors to bring the outside in so that every space can be used and enjoyed. Double height ceilings in the living & dining area, with an abundance of floor to ceiling glass windows make this home light and airy providing a sense of unrestricted space and height, yet at the same time retains the warmth of a family home. The fireplace in the living room creates a focal point and a place to gather and unwind.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen encourages the family lifestyle with timber feature island bench, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking and clever storage. The laundry is positioned beside the kitchen, an area that could be utilised to create a butler's pantry if desired and a great space for the overflow during parties. The clothesline is another smart design, packed away beside the deck, to easily erect when needed on the deck area that flows from the laundry.

The flexible layout offers a range of living options; suitable for families & couples alike whether upsizing or downsizing. With four bedrooms on offer, two on each level, the current owners have utilised a bedroom each for their own work from home space. On the lower level, the 4th bedroom has been designed that you can open up the sliding doors to connect to the living area offering a lovely work from home space or library, with built in window seat and a view through to the river. The second bedroom on the lower level offers the perfect guest bedroom, located across the hall from the bathroom. Ascend the stairs to two other bedrooms, the main bedroom that has a lovely loft feel, overlooking the living areas and greenspace through the timber louvres, complete with a large walk-in robe that has been smartly designed along the western wall. You will love the built-in window seat, a cosy place to read a book and enjoy the river outlook. The bathroom on this level has been positioned to run as an en-suite, but also easily accessed by the other bedroom.

Entertain in style on the gorgeous rear deck which flows effortlessly from the kitchen and living through the oversized glass doors that bring the outdoors in, creating a great space to mingle or relax. It's hard to believe you are living so close to the city, while surrounded by an abundance of greenery.

With all the features you would expect of a home of this calibre; high ceilings; skylights to enhance natural light, elevated louvres for ventilation, feature fireplace, split system air-conditioning, solar panels, quality cabinetry, to name a few, all you have to do is move in and enjoy everything this home has to offer.
