Description

Nestled within the vibrant heart of New Farm, Brisbane's rapidly evolving urban landscape, MM House stands as a testament to innovative architectural design and adaptability. Formerly known as 'Colehurst', this remarkable 1920's Queenslander, situated on a 771sqm allotment, is a true gem envisioned by the renowned Donovan Hill Architects, offering a seamless blend of modern living and timeless appeal. With a prime location in one of Australia's most sought-after suburban conurbations, MM House presents an unparalleled opportunity to embrace the dynamic lifestyle of Brisbane.

Entering via the front courtyard and stepping into the original Queenslander timber house is the formal dining and living room which features a fireplace, polished timber floors and deep blue painted walls accentuating the space with elegance. Wrapped along the side is a covered verandah, offering a tranquil space for relaxation and leisure. Two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, share a sleepout private retreat that can be functionally used as an office or a cozy reading nook. Seamlessly flowing from the sleepout is the main bathroom which features a bathtub, shower, and built-in cabinetry.

Transitioning into the extension, the kitchen is a masterpiece of detailed, functional design, with stainless-steel benches and a breakfast bar. Ample cupboard and drawer space provide convenient storage, and a featured skylight positioned above the kitchen allows natural light to filter through at any time of day. A butler's pantry adds to the storage space, and a study nook enhances functionality. A family room off the kitchen, with a second fireplace opens onto the side covered verandah, creating a harmonious blend of living spaces.

From the kitchen, the outdoor dining room provides a dramatic prelude overlooking the rear garden. A fully-tiled 14-metre saltwater lap pool, lined on one side with aromatic rosemary bushes and a poolside deck invites you to unwind and soak in the articulated space. The new pavilions form an outdoor room of unexpected generosity and privacy in the suburban setting. One of the pavilions is simultaneously screen, lantern, vehicle store and spatial definer, an example of the many elements within MM House that serve a multiple role.

The 'Great Window' between the rear garden and the new extension helps unite the new building, the existing building and landscapes, while the outdoor dining room is enhanced by heightened voids and an aluminium blade sliding façade. Stepping up to the mezzanine level is another loungeroom.

Stepping up to the second floor from the mezzanine levelled lounge room is the master suite. The thoughtful design allows you to appreciate panoramic views from the master bedroom, offering a unique vantage point that fosters relaxation and contemplation. Complemented with a walk-in robe and a sky-light lit tiled ensuite featuring a shower and custom-built cabinetry, a Juliet balcony follows off the ensuite allowing dual access.

Atop the new extension is the rooftop terrace that showcases panoramic city and Story Bridge views. The home also boasts an internal laundry with a drying space and secure storage space located next to one of the two car spaces.

Close to James Street shopping precinct, Howard Smith Wharves' famed restaurants and the cherished New Farm Park, this phenomenal home is also minutes from scenic river walks and the New Farm Park Ferry Terminal. A collection of schools are nearby, including New Farm State School, Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Girls' Grammar School and Saint Joseph's College.

With evolving household demographics, the house has been designed to accommodate various lifestyles, from share houses to remote work arrangements, ensuring a versatile living experience with shared areas such as the kitchen, the rooftop terrace, the rear garden and the front courtyard. Discover where architectural innovation meets adaptable suburban living. Experience the harmonious blend of heritage and modernity, all within the embrace of one of Brisbane's most coveted neighbourhoods.
