Garth Chapman Queenslanders Project 2

Situated on a five-acre block in Samford, this spacious family home showcases sensational mountain views. Working in close consultation with the clients, Garth Chapman Queenslanders’ building designer Kevin Hincksman created a classic Queenslander that’s jam-packed with luxurious contemporary inclusions. Unlike many modern designs, the four-bedroom home doesn’t rely on supplementary furnishings for style or character.

Bursting with sophisticated details and elegant finishes, the dwelling exudes inherent beauty and exceptional quality. Featuring a built-in fireplace and custom-designed cabinetry, the central living area is an inviting, homely space in which to unwind after a long day. Select-grade, 130mm-wide timber floorboards in ‘Roasted Peat’ feature throughout the living areas and hallways, while white-painted plantation shutters and timber joinery imbue the home with a coastal ambience.

Offering uninterrupted views of the main living areas, the Hamptons-inspired kitchen is the fulcrum of the home. Complete with a butler’s pantry, a generously sized island bench and a servery window that connects to the rear verandah, the kitchen balances functionality and aesthetics with finesse. An essential feature of traditional Queenslander architecture, the charming wrap-around verandah is ideal for casual entertaining or alfresco dining. Conveniently sheltered to ensure year-round usability, the verandah ventilates the roof space and protects the home from the harsh summer sun, which ensures the interior spaces maintain a comfortable temperature without the need for expensive auxiliary cooling.

Showcasing a luxurious in-ground swimming pool and a sumptuous pool house, the resort-style outdoor area is a standout feature of the property. Complete with a kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and laundry, as well as a dedicated living area, the pool house is the ideal space in which to accommodate guests.
