Located in the desirable suburb of Paddington comes this modern family home combining traditional cottage features with contemporary, free-flowing design.

The two-storey 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1-car parking home sees an open plan living design on the first level. It’s here that the living, dining and kitchen area opens out – through bi-fold doors – to a large deck that is ideal for entertaining.

The opening of the bi-fold doors allows for streams of light, giving the home an airy presentation. Once outside, one finds the pool and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Timber, in the form of panelled walls and warm-toned flooring, dominates the aesthetic of the home, and helps keep some of its cottage charm. The use of timber is showcased heavily throughout the major living zones.

Other traditional features, such as the French doors and Venetian shutters all help the home retain some of its period look.

Upstairs sees a large master suite with lush outlook, views over Paddington and a large en-suite. An additional bedroom on the upper level is perfect for a nursery or study.

A further two bedrooms are found on the lower-level.

Paddington is a highly desirable Brisbane locale, with the home nearby to Rosalie Village, Paddington Woolworth’s, University of Queensland, Suncorp Stadium and the CBD via public transport.

The listing is headed to auction on June 5 and is managed by Glynis Austin (+61 403 333 013) of Glynis Austin Properties. Glynisaustin.com

Edited, carefully curated and, above all, designed, these titles take you behind the scenes of some of the world’s most beautiful interiors in a considered way. Think of it like the difference between listening to a few tunes on Spotify versus releasing a thoughtfully crafted studio album. We’ve assembled our top six of interior design books on the market right now for your viewing and reading pleasure.
