Architectural Masterpiece O’Hare House has hit the market and is now for sale in leafy Bardon, just 6 km from Brisbane’s CBD. Designed by prominent architect Shane Thompson, the stunning home seamlessly blends contemporary luxury living with its natural bushland surroundings.
Nestled amongst towering eucalyptus trees, the house features an elevated position with north-east aspect capturing breathtaking views and an abundance of natural light. Thompson himself describes the design as delivering “life at its subtropical best”, with the bushland environment a driving inspiration.
“Designing this house on this spectacular site was a particularly joyous experience,” Thompson remarked.
“It has a beautiful connection with the vast bushland of Mt Cootha, a secluded and quiet sanctuary, broken only by the occasional native birdsong, but with easy access to the city.”
The gently curved butterfly roof evokes a sense of living under a timber parasol, while generous living areas are strung along a north-facing platform to maximise indoor-outdoor flow. Sliding doors connect to an expansive cantilevered deck amongst the treetops – perfect for summer entertaining or winter relaxation.
Inside, a warm material palette of soft white concrete blocks, rich jarrah timber and light hoop pine creates a serene yet sophisticated ambience. The galley-style kitchen is a true showpiece, equipped with a suite of premium Miele appliances and flowing seamlessly to the deck and raised lap pool.
The sumptuous master suite features a walk-in robe, marble bathroom and private deck with leafy outlooks. Buyers have the choice to shower indoors or embrace true subtropical living in the outdoor shower.
Additional accommodation comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a huge recreation room on the lower level. A yoga/meditation retreat and cosy fireplace sitting room provide pockets of tranquillity.
Rachael Spinks of SpinksCo Residential has launched the “best offers by” campaign for O’Hare House Bardon, which closes on May 9, 2024 at 5:00 pm.
“This is bush living in the city – a stunning architectural home in Bardon, presenting peaceful living amongst the treetops,” said Spinks. “It’s a large family home offering easy entertaining with many different spaces to be in.”
