102A Rome Street South, Yeronga, Qld, 4104

Privately​ ​nestled​ ​among​ ​lush​ ​sub-tropical​ ​gardens​ ​in​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Yeronga's​ ​most​ ​coveted​ ​riverside​ ​pockets,​ ​102A​ ​Rome​ ​Street​ ​South​ ​is​ ​a​ ​rare​ ​architectural​ ​statement—an​ ​award-winning​ ​contemporary​ ​residence​ ​designed​ ​by​ ​acclaimed​ ​architect​ ​Shane​ ​Thompson​ ​and​ ​honoured​ ​as​ ​the​ ​Australian​ ​Institute​ ​of​ ​Architects',​ ​Brisbane​ ​House​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Year​ ​(2006).

Oriented​ ​to​ ​the​ ​north-east​ ​and​ ​set​ ​on​ ​a​ ​secluded​ ​parcel​ ​with​ ​tranquil​ ​river​ ​outlooks,​ ​the​ ​home​ ​is​ ​a​ ​modern​ ​reimagining​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Queenslander—one​ ​that​ ​celebrates​ ​light,​ ​space​ ​and​ ​connection​ ​to​ ​landscape.​ ​Timber,​ ​glass​ ​and​ ​louvres​ ​work​ ​in​ ​harmony​ ​to​ ​dissolve​ ​the​ ​boundaries​ ​between​ ​indoors​ ​and​ ​out,​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​residence​ ​that​ ​is​ ​as​ ​refined​ ​as​ ​it​ ​is​ ​liveable.

Upon​ ​entry,​ ​the​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​scale​ ​is​ ​immediate.​ ​Double-height​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​spaces​ ​are​ ​bathed​ ​in​ ​natural​ ​light,​ ​framed​ ​by​ ​floor-to-ceiling​ ​glazing​ ​that​ ​captures​ ​greenery​ ​at​ ​every​ ​turn.​ ​The​ ​interplay​ ​of​ ​volume​ ​and​ ​warmth​ ​is​ ​masterfully​ ​balanced,​ ​anchored​ ​by​ ​a​ ​sculptural​ ​fireplace​ ​that​ ​invites​ ​moments​ ​of​ ​pause,​ ​gathering​ ​and​ ​quiet​ ​reflection.

At​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home,​ ​the​ ​kitchen​ ​is​ ​both​ ​functional​ ​and​ ​expressive—centred​ ​around​ ​a​ ​striking​ ​timber​ ​island​ ​and​ ​complemented​ ​by​ ​stone​ ​benchtops,​ ​stainless​ ​steel​ ​appliances​ ​and​ ​gas​ ​cooking.​ ​Designed​ ​for​ ​effortless​ ​entertaining​ ​and​ ​everyday​ ​living,​ ​it​ ​flows​ ​seamlessly​ ​to​ ​a​ ​generous​ ​rear​ ​deck​ ​via​ ​expansive​ ​glass​ ​doors,​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​refined​ ​yet​ ​relaxed​ ​environment​ ​for​ ​hosting​ ​or​ ​unwinding​ ​amid​ ​the​ ​surrounding​ ​canopy​ ​of​ ​green.

Accommodation​ ​is​ ​thoughtfully​ ​arranged​ ​across​ ​two​ ​levels,​ ​offering​ ​flexibility​ ​and​ ​privacy.​ ​Four​ ​bedrooms​ ​provide​ ​versatility​ ​for​ ​families,​ ​professionals​ ​or​ ​downsizers​ ​alike.​ ​The​ ​lower​ ​level​ ​features​ ​a​ ​beautifully​ ​appointed​ ​guest​ ​suite​ ​and​ ​a​ ​multi-purpose​ ​room​ ​that​ ​opens​ ​to​ ​the​ ​living​ ​space—equally​ ​suited​ ​as​ ​a​ ​home​ ​office,​ ​library​ ​or​ ​fourth​ ​bedroom,​ ​complete​ ​with​ ​a​ ​built-in​ ​window​ ​seat​ ​and​ ​serene​ ​river​ ​glimpses.

Upstairs,​ ​the​ ​main​ ​retreat​ ​enjoys​ ​a​ ​loft-like​ ​ambience,​ ​overlooking​ ​the​ ​living​ ​spaces​ ​and​ ​treetops​ ​through​ ​timber​ ​louvres.​ ​A​ ​generous​ ​walk-in​ ​robe​ ​and​ ​an​ ​elegant​ ​bathroom—designed​ ​to​ ​function​ ​as​ ​both​ ​en-suite​ ​and​ ​shared​ ​space—complete​ ​this​ ​refined​ ​sanctuary.​ ​A​ ​second​ ​upstairs​ ​bedroom​ ​offers​ ​further​ ​flexibility,​ ​ideal​ ​for​ ​family​ ​or​ ​guests.

Every​ ​detail​ ​has​ ​been​ ​considered​ ​to​ ​enhance​ ​comfort​ ​and​ ​longevity:​ ​elevated​ ​louvres​ ​for​ ​passive​ ​ventilation,​ ​skylights​ ​to​ ​draw​ ​in​ ​natural​ ​light,​ ​split-system​ ​air​ ​conditioning,​ ​solar​ ​panels,​ ​quality​ ​cabinetry,​ ​termite-resistant​ ​cladding​ ​and​ ​commercial-grade​ ​sliding​ ​doors—ensuring​ ​the​ ​home​ ​remains​ ​as​ ​practical​ ​as​ ​it​ ​is​ ​beautiful.

Despite​ ​its​ ​peaceful,​ ​garden-wrapped​ ​setting,​ ​the​ ​location​ ​is​ ​exceptionally​ ​connected.​ ​A​ ​short​ ​stroll​ ​leads​ ​to​ ​Yeronga​ ​Village,​ ​cafés,​ ​parks,​ ​schools​ ​and​ ​transport,​ ​while​ ​cycling​ ​paths​ ​connect​ ​effortlessly​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Green​ ​Bridge,​ ​the​ ​University​ ​of​ ​Queensland,​ ​the​ ​Tennyson​ ​Centre​ ​and​ ​Brisbane's​ ​CBD—just​ ​five​ ​kilometres​ ​away.
