House Snoop...Queenslander Love at Camp Hill.

In my regular Palatial Living 'House snoops' I came across this gorgeous & lovingly restored Queenslander located in Camp Hill - just outside Brisbane [Queensland]. I am particularly fond of this home because of what appears to be a successful marriage of the old & the new - with all the contemporary living convenience we're used combined with the style & elegance of this building era.
The majestic elegance of "Fairfield" has been enhanced by a marvellous restoration of the original house, and a spacious brand new extension. Just completed, this residence is now a warm and inviting home, perfectly positioned on a superbly elevated 797 square metre block of North east facing land
Beautiful open wide verandahs - essential for cooling down & Australian living.


Leading to a resort style pool, water feature and a great pool deck for relaxing afternoons!
The brand new family living area boasts Bi-fold doors, opening to a fully covered and sheltered Al fresco kitchen and dining deck, featuring integrated BBQ and lots of storage.
Designed to provide luxury and great access to the dining terrace, Stone has been used on the benchtops, splashbacks and on the huge island bench. Joinery is fresh white Two Pac with plenty of storage and "Ilve" appliances, made in Italy, providing the Gourmet Entertainer's paradise.
Wide, polished timber floors feature throughout the home, and great care has been taken to blend the original with the new.
The original part of the home features a pair of magnificent stained glass front doors and original. Chandelier entry way in a dining space leads to a huge, stylish and contemporary kitchen.


"Fairfield" also boasts City and district views , and is only 5 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD. Camp Hill is a lovely leafy pocket of Brisbane [in Queensland Australia].

Favourite Residential Family Style House





I love this family home, located on the mid-North Shore, Roseville, Sydney, it's casual & informal elegance coupled with it's bright open plan living & kitchen areas make it a universal family retreat . The multi-fold doors in each back wall partition are a fave of mine - allowing the inside-out & out-side in, such a must in temperate Australian climate. I particularly love the sensitivity in keeping the original architecture of street facade and blended it with the modern lifestyle of family needs towards the back of the house without - at any time - compromising a clean & fresh style.

Palatial Homes & Gardens - I love....



I adore the stylish natural stone steps up to the entrance of this beautiful home located in WARRAWEE on Sydney's Upper North Shore. The main entrance to the home is not the only sophisticated walkway flow - where in the garden to the pool and outdoor area we have equally elegant cause to celebrate in symmetry and lusciousness. The home boasts impressive proportions with a versatile floor plan, with coveted rear northerly aspect and seamless integration with the outdoors, this solid brick home blends period grandeur with contemporary additions. Something that looks & feels effortlessly stylish....



I adore these lush gardens in this home located in Sydney's North Shore suburb of LINDFIELD.
It is a truly enticing home on a single level - built in the 1930s this residence is embraced by 1,104sqm of exquisite parterre gardens in an elite east side location. Flawlessly extended, featuring superb living and entertaining areas, impeccable interior finishes and the finest of inclusions throughout. North/east rear aspect, a private pool, and level rear lawns/gardens .

Palatial Homes - I Love ...









I love the grandeur & the elegant simplicity of this home, not to mention the crazy sandstone paving around the azure pool - almost modern retro...
The use of timber through out the home - the french doors, the staircase, & flooring adds a natural sophisticated warmth and compliments the large scale rooms - in height and length.The home which is located on the North Shore in TURRAMURRA , this iinspirational Georgian manor 'Ku-ring-gai' is magnificently set among French provincial style parterre gardens on almost 3000sqm of estate-like grounds. Classical glamour meets the finest contemporary finishes and impressive resort facilities, with Northerly aspects flowing to an Annie Wilkes inspired parterre gardens.
