???Rockton??? ??? Traditional Elegance Old World Charm, Modern Amenities On a 911m2 Block With Stunning Panoramic City Views
???Rockton??? (circa 1915) is unquestionably one of Brisbane???s most impressive colonial ???Queenslander??? style homes. Perched on a large 911m2 block on the side of Grange Hill, it features breathtaking 180 degree city views and beyond. It???s prestigious address of Gracemere Street Newmarket, means that this home straddles the boundaries of Newmarket, Grange, and Alderley. This truly magnificent home needs to be seen to be believed.
The current owner has meticulously renovated the entire property after having moved the house from its birthplace as a church rectory in Lutwyche some 20 years ago to where it sits today. No nail or screw has been left untouched as this house was carefully converted back to its traditional origins. Rockton still retains its original Australian ???Coat-of-Arms??? fretworks, arch ways, polished timber floorboards along with many other beautiful timber features throughout the home. Rockton, naturally, is painted in its traditional heritage and original colours.
Upon entering through the beautiful stained glass front door, you are immediately in awe of the extra wide hallway and the beautiful 14 foot ceilings. The first of two vast living and dining areas greet you complimented by beautiful French doors, that allows for the abundance of space to flow seamlessly out to both the front and side decks, from which you can enjoy glorious views of the city.
If you can pull yourself away from this magnificent space you will be greeted by a modern kitchen area which then flows out onto, what can only be described as a magnificent rear deck. It is easy to picture yourself, family and friends watching the Riverfire firework displays or perhaps just enjoying a barbeque relaxing in the cool summer breezes as they whistle through the abundance of mature trees that encompass the rear deck. Alternatively, you may decide to relax after a hard day at the office in the 10 person spa with a glass of champagne while admiring the twinkling of the city lights.
When it comes time to retire for the evening you have the choice of five spacious king and queens size bedrooms. The main bedroom is extremely inviting with its stunning pressed metal ceiling and practical en-suite. Otherwise you could choose one the other two upstairs bedrooms with built-in walk-in wardrobes and en-suites.
Access downstairs is granted via its own separate entrance or down a grand old staircase, through the light filled sunroom. This multi-purpose lower ground floor encompasses a fully functioning modern kitchen, large open-plan dining and living areas, an additional, very large undercover entertaining section, multiple storage options, laundry facilities and two additional bedrooms each with their own dedicated en-suites (one with disabled access).
As the saying goes ???location, location and location??? and nothing could be more true as Rockton ticks all the essential boxes. Limited opportunities exist for packages of land this size so close to the city. Rockton falls within the highly sort after Wilston State School catchment. You also have your choice of public transport with Newmarket train station only a 10 minute walk away and the 325 and 379 buses even closer. Within 5 minutes is Wilston Village, Stafford Shopping Centre, Newmarket Shopping Centre and the well known Newmarket Hotel.
The owner has decided it has come time to let a new family enjoy this magnificent home as the children have moved on and it is time to move on to the next phase of her life, travelling and spending more time visiting family and friends in Australia and Europe.
