The perfect blend of classic Queenslander and modern design, 9 Mitchell Street is a family home full of surprises. With the pull of a curtain or the sliding of a wooden or glass screen, the large living areas are able to be adapted to catch summer breezes, screen western sun or hold in winter warmth. Designed by Architect James Russell in 2013, the home is a Rubik's cube of flexible indoor and outdoor variations and rooms within rooms.

Enter the home through the original front door, and the polished floors, VJ walls and character details in the hallway open up to surprising living areas. Two outer walls of the home have been dramatically removed to allow the living area and wraparound veranda to merge into a large fully usable space. Through swinging doors is the hub of the home, the kitchen and dining area, which can also be made cosy in winter or have the rear wall slide back to let in the northern sun, allowing adults to keep an eye on children and pets in the private back yard. The stainless steel kitchen has a commercial Electrolux oven with gas stovetop, Miele dishwasher, pull-out drawers for recycling bins, and a walk-in pantry with masses of overhead storage, while the dining area also has a study nook with fibre internet connection. Ducted air conditioning in the kitchen and bedrooms can be set at difference temperatures in each zone.

The three linked bedrooms, provide perfect accommodation for a family with young children, and can be kept private from the public entertaining areas. The bathroom, vanity sink and toilet are all separate, enabling simultaneous use.

This is a fabulous house for those who like to cook and entertain, with its flexible layout, outdoor fireplace, BBQ area with double sink, undercover poolside cabana area and herb garden and citrus trees out the front. The multi-purpose cabana can be used as another large dining area, a pool lounging area or, with the clever use of curtains, can even be transformed into guest accommodation. It has an outdoor shower and extra toilet adjacent to the lap pool.

Mitchell Street is a tightly held address with only a sprinkling of sales in the last 15 years . This home was built in 1910 and has been kept within the family until now. Located in the BSHS catchment and just a walk to the Hardgrave Rd or Boundary Street restaurants, Orleigh Park and CityCat terminal, this immaculate home is ready for its new owners to fall in love with it.

My clients have purchased elsewhere and are ready to move to their new home.
