Timeless Grandeur Meets Elegance and Luxury at Iconic ‘Lynne Grove House’
Nobel Realtors is proud to present “Lynne Grove House” a magnificent six-bedroom residence, tucked away in a serene Corinda enclave.
Nestled on ¾ of an acre, this property evokes the charm of a country estate featuring a private world of English styled gardens, cooling water features, secret nooks and serene outdoor spaces that perfectly complement its historic charm. Wide verandahs and expansive windows within the home draw your gaze to bucolic scenes of grazing cattle and sheep in neighbouring fields, further enhancing the peaceful, country feel of this “city” residence.
The organic kitchen garden, and fruit and nut trees are both gardener and cooks delight, whilst sandstone pathways meander through cottage gardens, verdant with roses, forget-me-nots and other nostalgic favourites. Slip on your swimsuit in the cute “Bathers Hut”, then spread your towel on the lawn under the trees with drink and book in hand. An arbour with established trees creates a picturesque outdoor haven, evoking the charm of a bygone era while offering ample space for relaxation and entertaining.
This exceptional, heritage-listed home, dating back to 1886, seamlessly blends its rich history with modern luxury, setting an unparalleled standard of quality and style. Its grandeur is the result of a meticulous restoration led by the lady of the house, whose interior design expertise is on full display. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, from bespoke joinery and imported marble, to beautiful wallpapers, chandeliers, fireplaces and fountains, in order to maintain and pay tribute to the home’s beautiful history.
The heart of this home is the expansive, open-plan kitchen and casual dining area – a gathering place for family and friends. Designed for culinary enthusiasts, the chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece. It incorporates a classic butlers sink, granite bench tops, a French antique centre island, and falcon range cooker. The adjoining butler’s pantry is a joy and boasts original, and enhanced cabinetry, antique pieces and modern conveniences, with open shelving crafted from an ancient tree felled on the property!
The snug at the far end of the kitchen is a perfect place to curl up with a book whilst the sitting room offers one of the beautiful and original fireplaces, with ample room for entertaining.
The wide hall with its soaring ceiling leads to the formal Dining room with its French art deco style chandeliers, exquisite wallpapers, fireplace and commanding mantel circa 1880. The bay window in this room currently houses the beautiful antique grand piano, whilst still leaving ample room for dining in gracious style.
Across the hall is the very traditional library with red cedar bookcases and yet another fireplace! In the words of Cicero – “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need”, and this beautiful home is a true testament to this.
With multiple living spaces, this home effortlessly encourages both gatherings of family and friends whilst offering opportunity for peaceful solitude. What teen or adult would not delight in the romance of the romantic attic bedroom with charming window seats, offering front row views of treetops, whilst watching summer storms roll in across the sky.
A parents retreat with dressing room, ensuite and infrastructure in place for yet another fireplace, affords privacy and tranquility. The family bathroom with beautiful marble and claw-topped bath also enjoys beautiful windows, wallpaper and a 1950’s dressing table in original condition redesigned as the vanity.
Outside and with separate entrance is a garden room or studio with adjoining ensuite. Downstairs on the ground level is an extensive laundry and mud room, two bedrooms and bathroom. This floor is accessed by private separate entry as well as internal entry and is ideal for those wishing to enjoy multi-generational living or work from home.
A list of features includes but is not limited to ducted air-conditioning, high ceilings, crow’s ash and wide polished pine flooring, intricate breezeways, French doors, decorative cornices, crisp white plantation shutters, modern large laundry, mud room/kitchenette, extensive storage, water tanks, an electric gated driveway with an intercom system with remote access, swipe card/keypad entry to the pedestrian gate, and space for five vehicles under cover.
Located within the Corinda State School catchment, families have a choice of public and private schools including the prestigious St Aidan’s Anglican Girls School. There are sporting fields, a golf driving range, a public swimming pool, boat club and many beautiful parks.
Situated less than 10kms from the CBD, the area also provides residents with easy access to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and the University of Queensland. Aside from nearby bus and rail transport there are many local shops including Coles supermarket at Corinda Village.
Beyond the inherent beauty, artistry and history of Lynne Grove House, is its heart. It has been more than a home. It is a place filled with stories, laughter and love, friendship and community. The current owners have enjoyed a true love affair with Lynne Grove House, and whilst the parting will be bittersweet, Lynne Grove House is ready to begin her next chapter, to write new stories, and to create new and enduring memories.
