17 Henderson Street Bulimba, QLD 4171

Sunlight falling through a soaring void, summer afternoons beside the pool, and evenings gathered around the fire. Privately gated on a north-facing 817sqm parcel, this remarkable Bulimba home creates a world of its own. An architectural transformation and recent luxury refurbishment have brought extraordinary scale and refinement to the original 1930s residence, preserving its Queensland soul while opening it to a beautiful new way of living.

The sense of space is immediate. Above the staircase, windows draw light through a 7-metre void, illuminating the connection between levels. Original VJ walls, casement windows and ceilings rising beyond 3 metres lend character, complemented by the richness of Artedomus Grigio Orsola and Calacatta Paonazzo marble. Air moves freely, and expansive glass sliders draw back, making the transition outdoors feel almost imperceptible. For all its openness, the design allows spaces to close off, giving family members the freedom to gather, work or retreat in privacy.

Living and dining unfold around the kitchen, where a statement island becomes the centre of morning routines, shared meals and conversations that carry into the evening. Miele appliances bring precision to cooking, while a bespoke slate cellar/bar with Vintec wine refrigeration keeps a favourite bottle ready for guests.

Outside, the grounds invite entire days at home. Prepare lunch in the outdoor kitchen, settle beneath the alfresco terrace and watch a game of soccer or badminton take shape on the level lawn. Cool off in the pool, rinse beneath the outdoor shower or enjoy a drink by the water as the afternoon softens. Landscaped gardens frame these private outdoor spaces, with a firepit retreat drawing everyone together long after dinner has finished.

Upstairs, an additional living area anchors the children's wing. Two offices, positioned off both living areas, provide space for work and homework, with the flexibility to stay connected to family life or close the door and concentrate.

Five bedrooms provide thoughtful separation. A downstairs guest bedroom with its own ensuite welcomes extended stays, while the primary suite occupies a private position at the rear upstairs. Leafy views bring a restful outlook to this retreat, complete with an ensuite and custom Ecru Oak Woodmatt walk-in wardrobe. Secure parking for four cars across the garage and carport adds everyday ease to the generous family design.

Beyond the gates, Bulimba's picturesque streets lead to a lifestyle that feels equally rewarding. Just 700m away, Oxford Street sets the pace for morning coffee, leisurely brunches and evenings over dinner and drinks. Browse the boutiques, catch a film at the cineplex or take the children to Bulimba Memorial Park. Henderson is one of Bulimba's widest streets and is situated in the tightly held pocket just north of the Oxford precinct. So close to all of the action and a private sanctuary to return to. If you're professionals looking to start a family, a young family, or a family with teenage children, this is a home to savour through every stage of family life.
