A historic art-deco mansion of the utmost stature and substance, "Chesterfield" commenced construction in 1946 and stands proudly as an unmistakable landmark property among the prized and picturesque Shorncliffe foreshore.
One of the most iconic and endearing facades along the esplanade, owned by only three families over its lifetime, the post-war construction highlights a superior build quality with reinforced concrete across an impressive street frontage and Art Deco influences set across three remarkable levels.
From the mesmerising panoramic water views of the north to the glimpses of the Brisbane skyline and undulating mountain ranges to the south, this property is one of a few true north-facing parcels along the coveted Eagle Terrace esplanade, with every vantage point capturing breathtaking vistas. Character checkerboard tiles introduce a flexible floorplan, currently arranged with both formal and informal living and dining showcasing the original fireplace, picture bay windows and decorative cornicing, with a galley style kitchen and direct access to the expansive front verandah inviting cooling sea breezes and neverending bay views throughout the home.
Harmoniously integrating period charm with contemporary enhancements, the second-level reveals sun-drenched accommodations of a generous size, currently offering a sublime mid-century family bathroom and five bedrooms including a grand king-sized master bedroom with direct access to an expansive wrap-around verandah hosting panoramic views from Woody Point to Moreton Island. A unique basement level presents total originality across a vast footprint consisting of double garages, storage rooms and cellar ready for future plans.
Presiding over an impressive allotment of 1,012m2 (approx.) across four lots, this distinguished residence offers the exclusivity of dual street frontages from both Eagle Terrace and Agnes Street with access to both front and rear of the property with the best of Shorncliffe at your fingertips including vibrant local cafes, shopping and bars and within strolling distance of Sandgate's Town Centre, Train Station and Shorncliffe Pier. Historically the holiday destination of Brisbane's upper class, the location's modern-day connectivity to Brisbane CBD, Airport and north and south coast highways offers a traditional bayside community lifestyle within a prime central position.
'Chesterfield' offers generational possibilities and untold rewards for the beach-loving family, city dwellers with a quest for fresh air and endless water views, or anyone wanting to acquire one of the most admired and notable properties in Shorncliffe.
