Summary: Kaieta House | An Award-Winning Heritage Queenslander
Description: Kaieta House holds a quiet authority rarely found in modern residential offerings. A fully restored, 647sqm heritage-listed Queenslander, it rises gracefully within the Oakman Residences precinct, framed by parklands, mature trees and some of Taringa's most established character homes. The home's symmetrical weatherboard façade, wide frontage and wraparound verandahs speak to its enduring craftsmanship, while landscaped terraces and an elevated entry create an immediate sense of occasion, hinting at a home designed to endure beyond passing trends. A striking checkerboard-tiled foyer forms the first impression, grounding the home before timber stairs lead to the main living level above. Across two expansive levels, living and dining spaces unfold with scale and ease. Soaring ceilings, timber floors and original detailing sweep through the interiors, while generous glazing and heritage French doors draw natural light deep into the home. Living areas connect seamlessly to the surrounding verandahs, where multiple outdoor settings extend daily life outward and invite long lunches, evening gatherings or quiet moments overlooking leafy surrounds. A separate sitting room adds flexibility, suited to private entertaining or media use. At the centre of the home, the kitchen is both purposeful and beautifully considered. A substantial stone island anchors the space, complemented by feature stone surfaces, integrated refrigeration and extensive custom cabinetry. Double ovens, a gas cooktop and walk-in pantry support everyday practicality, while a dedicated bar elevates hosting. Contemporary joinery sits comfortably beneath the home's generous ceiling heights, allowing modern design to sit naturally alongside its heritage proportions. Five bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed to balance privacy and comfort. Two ensuited bedrooms on the entry level provide ideal guest or multi-generational accommodation, while the main living level hosts three further bedrooms, including an oversized master suite opening directly to the verandah. A stylish walk-in wardrobe and indulgent ensuite with twin vanities and a freestanding bath create a genuine private retreat. Additional highlights include a powder room, separate laundry, extensive storage, ducted air conditioning throughout and secure accommodation for four vehicles. Beyond the home itself, Oakman Residences presents a thoughtfully landscaped enclave defined by architectural cohesion and a sense of quiet seclusion. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities including an infinity-edge swimming pool, outdoor dining areas and a fire pit, set among manicured gardens and open green space. Award-winning design balances exclusivity with a sense of community, delivering low-maintenance living without compromising on quality or scale. The location is equally compelling. Oakman Park sits directly next door, Brisbane Boys' College is moments away on foot, and the Brisbane Riverwalk, Toowong Village, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, The Wesley Hospital and The University of Queensland are all within easy reach. Transport links and leading schools reinforce the address as one of the inner west's most enduring and tightly held residential settings. Kaieta House offers a rare opportunity to own a residence of enduring scale and heritage, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living, with inspection highly recommended.

Summary: Low-Maintenance Brick Unit in Great Location
Description: Positioned in the corner of the first floor in a two-storey, brick walk-up, this tidy, low-maintenance apartment enjoys a leafy outlook in an extremely handy location, surrounded by parks, cafes and conveniences, just a brief commute to The University of Queensland, Toowong Village, and only a couple of blocks from Ironside State School. It's a fantastic entry-level property for a first-home buyer or first-time investor, with low body corporate fees making the journey a little more affordable.

The open-plan living area has both air-conditioning and a ceiling fan, and opens onto the covered balcony. Both bedrooms offer mirrored built-ins, the bathroom houses an internal laundry and a separate W/C rounds out the sensible floor plan. Downstairs, a tandem lock-up garage allows for two cars, or one plus ample storage. Situated on a corner block, the complex already feels quite private from neighbouring properties, but the layout further endows the privacy for unit 5, as it does not share a single wall with another apartment. The positioning also allows for excellent breezes and cross-ventilation. As for location, Ironside State School parents will love the 750m walk or drive to the lower school gate, UQ students will appreciate the brief 1.6km commute and CBD workers have it pretty good too, with easy connections to bus routes and Guyatt Park CityCat. Toowong Village is only a touch over 1km away for all your shopping needs, plus access to trains, and there's a great cafe less than 100m from your front door, with plenty of trees to sit under in Jack Cook Park while you enjoy your morning brew. Just a little further in the opposite direction is the Gailey Fiveways, with restaurants, seafood shop, a great bakery (King of Cakes) and other conveniences. It's all at your fingertips here! The tenant is moving out towards the end of January, so you won't have to wait long to move in!
