The Terrace Sherwood for sale by Ann-Karyn Fraser and Heath Williams of Place New Farm who told WILLIAMS MEDIA “It is everything a family could want in a house.”
'The Terrace' is a heritage-listed residence, completely restored and renovated to impress both families and entertainers, in one of Brisbane's best suburbs.
Source: PlaceOriginally built in 1933 by Charles Griffin, the heritage-listed residence has been reimagined by architect Shaun Lockyer and builder Cullum Hughes to blend traditional warmth and heritage elegance with modern functionality.
Behind the façade of a charming English-style red brick home, the transition of old to new is seamless, and the materials, feel, and quality of light is very much one experience.
Source: PlaceThe house is one of few terracotta roof tiles in Brisbane with a 45º pitch and now features some the biggest skylights ever produced for a Shaun Lockyer design.
Source: PlaceHeath Williams told WILLIAMS MEDIA the home represents the perfect opportunity for an estate compound buyer. “It has it all, swimming pool, tennis court on a very large block of land. It is everything a family could want in a house. While the design of the extension is contemporary it draws in elements of the original and remains sympathetic to the original 1930’s stucco home.”
