Auction In Rooms – Thursday, 7th December at 6:30PM at Wests Rugby Club, 65 Sylvan Road, Toowong. Bidder registration from 6:00PM.

This is an especially rare opportunity to own a part of Brisbane’s history in a tightly held and most desirable blue chip Paddington enclave.

Reading House built circa 1895, is positioned at the top end of Latrobe Terrace, offering beautiful views of the tin and timber houses and beautiful tree-lined streets of Paddington below along with superb views of Brisbane CBD.

On inspection, it becomes clearly apparent Reading House is a truly grandiose residence and properly respects a renovation of only the highest specification that will transform this home into an executive residence and one of Brisbane finest Federation Style estates.

Set on 810 sq.m, the home is sizable with a combined upper and lower living of over 220 sq.m that will provide your architect with a myriad of options for careful consideration. Upstairs includes the eat-in kitchen, three large bedrooms (main with bay window and a small room offset that could be transformed into an ensuite and robe), another with small balcony and city views, formal lounge (with fireplace) and dining divided by folding doors and a sizable bathroom featuring a claw foot bath.

The home exudes character starting with the grand entrance through the lovely established front gardens. Inside boasts polished pine floorboards, VJ interior, high ceilings, fretwork above the bedroom doors, two fireplaces and the decorative arch in the central hallway. The abundance of character features along with the French doors framed by bay windows that lead onto the balcony from both the lounge and dining rooms all combine to give this home that charming look and feel of yesteryear.

Underneath there is a secondary separate living space which includes a kitchenette, combined lounge/dining (with balcony), single bedroom and bathroom along with a separate storage room and laundry area.
Both the upstairs and downstairs balconies overlook the sparkling in-ground pool, the terraced back yard and the panoramic city and suburban views as you enjoy the afternoon breezes; a benefit of this fantastic elevated location.

The suburb of Paddington is one of Brisbane most desirable and is a truly a wonderful place to reside with all the amenities of the restaurants, cafes and specialty shops along Latrobe Terrace and a selection of both public primary and private high schools including Ithaca Creek State School, Brisbane Grammar School and Stuartholme School along with the Brisbane CBD only a short commute away.

This is a truly special home and a very unique opportunity that will be highly sought after at the in-rooms auction on the 7th of December with Buyers encouraged to begin their preparations now to ensure their success for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
